AI visibility for antique dealers

Tibly for antique shops.

The weekend antiquer used to follow road signs. Now they ask ChatGPT “best antique shops near me for mid-century furniture” and get two or three shop names back. Tibly tracks every collector and consignment question in your market across the AI engines, shows which shops get recommended, and drafts the content that puts yours in the answer.

Why owners switch

The next find in your shop starts with an AI answer.

What the engines do with your market's antique questions, and why one-of-a-kind inventory doesn't help if the shop itself is invisible.

2–3

Shops a typical AI answer names. Everyone else is invisible.

8 engines

ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and more. Each keeps its own list.

Daily

Scans of every collecting, appraisal, and estate-sale question in your market, with full history kept.

What you get

Built for the questions that bring collectors through the door.

Specialty hunting, consignment and selling, appraisals, and estate cleanouts tracked from question to recommendation to a sale.

Prompts

Your market's antique questions

“Best antique shops near me for mid-century furniture.” “Where to sell my grandmother's china in <city>.” “Antique shops that do consignment near me.” Tibly generates the questions collectors and sellers actually ask in your market and runs each one daily, dozens of times per engine.

Competitors

Competitor benchmark

Every answer is scored: who got named, in what order, how warmly. You see which shops own the recommendation for furniture, vintage jewelry, and estate buying in your area — and when a new dealer or antique mall starts taking your spot.

Sources

Cited-source analysis

The engines cite Google reviews, Yelp, 1stDibs and Chairish dealer profiles, and local press “best antiquing in <city>” features when they answer antique questions. Tibly shows which sources drive each recommendation and where your shop is thin or missing.

Actions

Drafted fixes

For the questions you're losing, Tibly drafts the pages that win them: specialty pages for what you're known for, a consignment page that explains rates and process, an estate-buying and appraisal services page, and an FAQ covering hours, buying days, and delivery.

FAQ

What antique dealers ask us.

Straight answers on how AI visibility works for an antique shop.

How do I get my antique shop recommended by ChatGPT?
AI engines recommend shops they can verify from public sources: Google reviews, Yelp, 1stDibs and Chairish dealer profiles, local press coverage, and pages on your site that say what you specialize in and what services you offer — consignment, appraisals, estate buying. Tibly shows you which sources the engines cite for each antique question in your market, where you're missing, and drafts the pages that get you named.
My inventory is one-of-a-kind and turns over constantly. What is there to optimize?
The shop, not the pieces. Engines don't recommend a specific Victorian dresser — they recommend the shop known for Victorian furniture, the dealer who does consignment, the place that buys estates. Those reputations live on durable pages: specialty descriptions, service pages, reviews that mention what you carry. Tibly identifies which durable questions you're losing and drafts the pages that make your specialties legible to the engines.
Which AI engines does Tibly track for antique shops?
Tibly tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and other major answer engines — eight in total. Each engine keeps its own list of recommended shops, so being named in one doesn't mean you're named in the others. Every tracked antique question runs daily on every engine, with full history so you can see movement over time.
Do sellers and estate executors really use AI to find shops like mine?
Yes, and they're often your best margin. Someone clearing a parent's house asks “who buys estate furniture in <city>” or “where can I sell my grandmother's china,” and the engine names two or three dealers. Those questions are less competitive than buyer questions and the callers arrive ready to transact. Tibly tracks the selling, consignment, and appraisal questions alongside the buying ones, so you see both sides of your pipeline.
