Lighthouse Local is an AI visibility platform designed for local businesses. Its primary function is to track how often a business is mentioned or recommended by major AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI. The tool monitors these platforms on an ongoing basis, checking each business against a set of user-defined questions that customers commonly ask, such as “best plumber near me” or “emergency roof repair in Tampa.” Every mention, non mention, or competitor citation is recorded and displayed in a clear dashboard. The platform offers several features to help businesses understand their AI presence. It provides a live leaderboard showing which businesses AI names most often for each tracked search, along with a head to head comparison of mentions across platforms. Users can see the exact text that each AI generates, filtered by platform, prompt, or verdict. The tool also generates a prioritized fix plan, listing the gaps between a business and the top spot, each explained in plain English and ranked by impact. A readiness score tracks progress as fixes are implemented. Typical use cases involve a business owner or marketer who wants to know whether potential customers are being directed to their business by AI, and if not, which competitor is winning the recommendation. The workflow is straightforward: a user adds their business and the questions their customers actually ask, and Lighthouse Local begins checking all five AI platforms every week. For high priority questions, daily checks are performed. The results are updated on a regular schedule, allowing users to monitor changes over time. The platform also offers a 30 minute consultation with an AI visibility specialist for guidance on specific fixes. Technical requirements are minimal. The tool requires no installation or code, and setup can be completed in approximately ten minutes. Every plan includes tracking across all five AI platforms, 50 tracked prompts with weekly sweeps, and over 1,400 AI answer checks per month. A 14 day free trial is available, and users can cancel at any time. Custom pricing is offered for multiple locations and higher volume needs. The interface is designed to be readable for both business owners and marketing professionals, avoiding technical jargon such as GEO or LLMO in favor of plain language.
