- How do I get my restaurant recommended by ChatGPT?
- AI engines recommend restaurants they can verify. That means a consistent Google Business Profile, active review responses, an up-to-date OpenTable or Resy presence, and a website with a real menu, prices, and hours in plain text. Tibly shows you which of those sources the engines actually cite for your market's questions, where you're missing, and drafts the pages that close the gap.
- Do AI engines really send diners to restaurants?
- Yes. Questions like “where should we eat tonight” and “best date night restaurant near me” now go to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. Each returns a short answer naming two or three restaurants, and diners book from that shortlist. If you're not one of the names, you're not in the decision at all — no matter how good your food is.
- Is this different from my Google ranking?
- Completely. Google rank is one list on one engine. AI answers are synthesized across eight engines, each drawing on different sources — reviews, reservation platforms, food press — and each keeping its own shortlist. A restaurant ranking third on Google Maps can be absent from every AI answer, and vice versa. Tibly measures the answers themselves, daily, across all of them.
- Which questions does Tibly track for my restaurant?
- Tibly generates the buying questions for your specific market: occasion searches like “best anniversary dinner”, cuisine searches, group and private-dining queries, dietary questions, and “open late near me”. You can add anything your guests actually ask, in plain English, and Tibly runs every question daily across every engine and keeps the full history.
