An AI visibility audit for restaurants checks what AI assistants say when a diner asks them where to eat.
The assistants are ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Perplexity. The audit records whether each one names your restaurants and whether it has the hours, the menu and the location right. It also records the websites each answer relied on.
The audit is written for owners of restaurant groups, and each location is checked on its own.
The first review is delivered within two business days. It's a real human analysis of your brand, not an automated PDF.
A diner types a question into ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity:
“Which Thai restaurant near Bay and King can seat ten people on a Friday night?”
The assistant writes back with something like this:
Here are three restaurants to consider.
Websites linked in the answer: a review website, a business listing, the first restaurant’s website.
The audit records three things from every answer:
For each location we write questions that name the neighbourhood, the nearest intersection or the postal code. Others ask about a service such as catering or about a time of day, and one asks for reviews of the restaurant by name.
Yext studied 6.8 million sources cited in AI answers in July and August 2025. For food service, business listings were the largest group at 41.6% of the sources cited. Reviews and social media made up 13.3%, the highest share of the four industries in the study.
In a Nielsen survey for Reputation in August 2025, 20% of consumers in the United States said they use AI assistants such as ChatGPT to research restaurants and bars. Google Search was the most used source at 56%. The survey covered 763 consumers.
Each step leaves a record for each location, so every finding in the report points to the saved answer it came from.
A group starts with the free review, and the full audit that follows is paid work at a fixed price of $1,500 for one location.
You send a short form. Saad Afsar reads it and reviews the business himself.
The first review is delivered within two business days. It's a real human analysis of your brand, not an automated PDF.
The full audit is the complete record of what the assistants say, with a check of the sources behind the answers.
The audit ends with a written list of fixes. Your own team or your agency can carry them out from the report.
Some owners prefer one person to carry out the fixes and lead the rest of the marketing. That is a fractional CMO engagement with Saad Afsar, and the standard terms are listed here.
If the engagement starts within 30 days of the audit, the $1,500 audit fee is credited toward the first month.
Saad has 15 years of marketing experience. He has led marketing for 40+ brands and has enterprise experience at Unilever and Samsung.
These are sales and marketing results measured in each client’s own system, and none of them is a result of an AI visibility audit.

Yes. The questions are written for each location’s neighbourhood, so each location has its own set of answers.
The audit records every website the assistants link to, including review websites and delivery platforms. It also checks that the hours, address and phone number match on the restaurant’s website, its Google Business Profile and its directory listings. Some review and social websites block automated reading, and the report lists those as not collected.
No. Each company decides what its own assistant says, and nobody outside the company can set that. The audit shows what the assistants say now and which websites they relied on. The fixes are made to those sources.
The full audit costs $1,500 for one location and $400 for each additional location. If a fractional CMO engagement starts within 30 days of the audit, the $1,500 is credited toward the first month.
