What is reasonable to expect
- A complete profile gives AI tools structured facts to quote: category, pricing, features.
- Reviews add evidence of real use, which a model can reflect.
- A listing alone does not guarantee a recommendation.
- Keep the profile consistent with your site, since mismatches reduce trust.
LinkPing is measuring this; results will be published in the monthly Directory Index at /data.
