- How do I get my daycare recommended by ChatGPT?
- AI engines recommend daycares they can verify. That means a current state licensing record, a steady stream of detailed Google reviews, complete Care.com and Winnie profiles, and a website that plainly states your age groups, ratios, tuition, and openings. Tibly shows you which of those inputs the engines actually cited in your market, so you fix the ones that matter instead of guessing.
- Do parents really use AI to choose childcare?
- Increasingly, yes. Choosing a daycare is a high-stakes, research-heavy decision, and AI assistants compress that research into one answer: a short list of 2–3 named centers with reasons. Parents still tour and check references — but they tour from the list AI gave them. If you're not on it, you're competing for the leftovers.
- Which sources decide whether AI recommends my center?
- For childcare, the recurring citations are Google Business reviews, Care.com, Winnie, your state's childcare licensing database, and local parent groups or news mentions. Different engines weigh them differently, which is why a center can lead in Perplexity and be missing from Gemini. Tibly tracks the cited sources per engine so you see exactly where each answer comes from.
- What should be on my website to win AI citations?
- The pages AI quotes are the ones parents need: a tuition and rates page with real numbers, a program page per age group with ratios and daily schedules, and an enrollment FAQ covering waitlists, licensing, and what to bring on day one. Vague “contact us for pricing” sites rarely get cited. Tibly drafts these pages for you from what's already winning in your market.
- How much does Tibly cost?
