Does AI know you exist?
When someone asks ChatGPT for a real estate agent in Las Vegas, it gives one answer. Not ten links. One answer, sometimes three names. Here's how to find out if you're one of them.
This takes two minutes. Paste the prompt below into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok with your details filled in. Run it in two different models if you want a real read, since they pull from different places and the gap tells you a lot.
— The prompt
Paste this into any AI
I'm going to give you my name and business details. Answer as if a stranger asked you about real estate agents in my area. Do not search for flattering information or try to help me look good. Be literal about what you can actually find. Name: [full name] Business: [brokerage or company] City: [city, state] Answer these in order: 1. Before searching, do you recognize this name? Yes or no. 2. Now search. What do you find that is definitively this person, not someone with a similar name? 3. List every source you found them in. Name each one. 4. If someone asked you "who's a good real estate agent in [city]," would this person come up? Honestly, yes or no, and why. 5. What did you find that contradicts itself across sources? Different phone numbers, old brokerage, outdated title. 6. What is missing that would make you more likely to name them? Do not pad the answer. If there is nothing, say there is nothing.
Question 4 is the one that matters. Plenty of people are findable and still wouldn't get recommended.
— Three outcomes
What you'll get back.
01
It knows you.
Good. Check question 5, because outdated information is worse than none.
02
It confuses you with someone else.
Fixable, and usually fast.
03
It has nothing.
That's not a ranking problem. That's not existing.
