AI Recommendation Services: What the First 90 Days Look Like

An AI recommendation service helps your business get mentioned when people ask AI assistants for advice in your market. In the first 90 days, a good service measures where you stand, fixes the problems that hold you back, publishes content for your most valuable questions, and starts reporting trends. Expect gradual movement, not overnight results, because no one controls AI answers.

Before day one: agree on what success means

Set goals you can check. Good examples: “be mentioned for more of our 25 tracked questions”, “correct the outdated pricing ChatGPT shows”, “appear alongside our two main competitors in Perplexity answers”. Avoid goals like “be number one in ChatGPT”, which nobody can promise.

Month 1: measure and fix

Week 1–2: baseline

• Build a list of real buyer questions, such as “which payroll provider works for restaurants in Ireland”.
• Test them across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Copilot.
• Record who appears, how you are described, and which sources are cited.

Week 3–4: quick fixes

• Correct wrong facts on your site and listings.
• Remove technical blocks to crawlers.
• Add clear Organization and product or service details.

Quick fixes often matter most, because errors in the basics affect every answer. Our AI search optimization checklist lists the usual suspects.

Month 2: content for priority questions

Pick the five to ten questions closest to a purchase where you are missing. For each, create or improve one page that answers it directly, with specifics: prices, locations, use cases, comparisons. A logistics company might publish “How we handle temperature-controlled deliveries in the Netherlands” instead of a generic “Our services” page.

Your team’s input is essential here. Assistants favour precise, credible detail that only you can supply.

Month 3: beyond your own website

Start work on third-party signals:

• Update or claim profiles on the directories and review sites your buyers use.
• Ask satisfied customers for honest, detailed reviews.
• Pitch a useful story, data point or expert comment to one or two relevant publications.
• Contact partners or associations that could list you.

This part takes longest to show effect, which is why it starts early.

The 90-day report

At the end of the period, you should see:

1. Mention rate across tracked questions, compared with the baseline.
2. Changes per assistant, since each behaves differently.
3. Accuracy of how you are described.
4. Competitor share in the same answers.
5. A plan for the next quarter.

Some questions may move, others may not yet. That is normal. Look at direction across many prompts. See how to measure AI visibility.

Signs the service is not right

• No baseline was ever shown.
• Reports contain only screenshots of a single lucky answer.
• Tactics include fake reviews, paid links or forum seeding.
• You were promised a guaranteed recommendation.

What you should prepare

The service moves faster if you arrive with a few things ready: a list of your main services and prices, the names of competitors you lose deals to, access to your website and listings, and one person on your team who can answer questions quickly. Delays in approvals are the most common reason early months produce less than expected.
