A meadery in northeast Ohio
A real AI-visibility audit, run with the exact method we use for a paying client. We’ve taken the name off and blurred the town. The score, the per-engine numbers, and every finding below are what the audit actually returned.
Where AI sends people when they ask
Every engine got the same local questions with the business’s own town written in. This is how often each one actually named it.
It actually leads its category: no single competitor dominates its local mead searches. The gaps here are accuracy, not absence.
How it scores, area by area
The audit scores each part of being found by AI. Green is fine; the low bars are where the work is.
What to do about it
The quick wins the owner can do this week, and what a rebuild changes.
Do these yourself, this week
- Correct the wrong street address on the Yelp listing.
- Fix the Chamber of Commerce listing's wrong Friday and Sunday hours.
- Add tasting and flight pricing to the visit page.
- Add JSON-LD structured data that identifies it as a Meadery.
What a Stave rebuild fixes
- Pages that answer these questions in plain text, hours and tasting prices included
- A machine-readable identity: Meadery type, address, geo, hours, and linked profiles
- Real headings, a real FAQ, and your visit or reservation policy in writing
- Consistent, correct listings across the maps, directories, and lists these engines read
- A monthly report showing which AI answers now name your meadery
