Prompts
The questions filers actually ask
We track the prompts that precede a booking: “best tax preparer near me,” “how much does tax preparation cost,” “tax preparer for self-employed with a home office.” Per situation, per city, on every engine.
AI visibility for tax preparers
Tibly for tax preparers.
Every filing season, people ask ChatGPT “who's the best tax preparer near me?” — and the answer names 2–3 businesses, not a page of listings. Tibly tracks whether you're one of them, on every major AI engine, and drafts the fixes when you're not.

Why preparers switch
The January rush is decided in October.
AI engines build their shortlists from what they can read year-round. By the time the season hits, the answer is already set.
2–3
Companies a typical AI answer names. Everyone else is invisible.
8 engines
ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and more. Each keeps its own list.
Daily
Filers vet preparers with AI — credentials, fees, reviews — before they hand over a single W-2. We re-ask every question daily.
What you get
Built for the questions that drive appointments.
Not brand mentions — the fee, credential, and situation questions that end in a booked return.
Competitors
See exactly who gets named
Every answer is scored: which preparers were named, in what order, and how often across repeated runs. You see whether the answer sends filers to you, a rival office, or straight to TurboTax — and which questions are still unclaimed.
Sources
Know which profiles AI trusts
AI answers about preparers lean on the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers, enrolled-agent listings in the NAEA directory, Google Business Profile reviews, and Yelp. We show which sources each engine cited, so you fix the ones feeding the answer.
Actions
Drafted fixes, not a to-do list
Tibly drafts the pages that win citations for preparers: a priced fee-schedule page that answers “what does a return cost,” situation pages for self-employed filers, crypto, and back taxes, and deadline FAQ pages engines can quote verbatim.

FAQ
AI visibility for tax preparers, answered.
The questions preparers and EAs ask us most.
- How do I get my tax business recommended by ChatGPT?
- Engines name preparers they can verify and quote. That means showing up in the IRS preparer directory with your credential, keeping Google and Yelp reviews recent, and publishing pages that answer the filer's actual question — what a return costs, which situations you handle, whether you're taking new clients. Tibly measures which questions you're missing from, shows the sources behind each answer, and drafts the pages that close the gap.
- How does AI decide between me and TurboTax?
- It depends on the question. “How do I file my taxes” often gets a software answer, but “tax preparer for self-employed near me,” “who does crypto taxes,” and “help with back taxes” are hire-a-human questions where engines name local businesses with verifiable credentials and strong reviews. Those are the questions Tibly tracks — the ones where being named means a booked appointment.
- Is this only worth it during tax season?
- The off-season is when the answer gets decided. Engines build shortlists from what they can read all year — your directory listings, reviews, and pages don't suddenly appear in January. Preparers who publish fee schedules and situation pages in the fall are the ones named when the rush hits. Tibly tracks daily year-round so you take the spot before April, not after it.
- Does AI visibility replace SEO for my tax business?
- No — it sits on top of it. Your rankings, reviews, and listings are the raw material engines draw from. But ranking on Google means little if ChatGPT names two other offices and stops. AI visibility measures the answer itself: whether your business is named when someone asks who should do their taxes.
