Brandofy shows you exactly where your restaurant sits across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, versus the other spots diners are choosing between.

Why AEO decides which restaurants get the reservation
Restaurant discovery is quietly moving into conversational AI. The venues that invest first own the recommendation.
Dining discovery is shifting to AI chat
Trip planning assistants and ChatGPT recommendations for visitors are replacing scrolling Yelp cold. If the AI doesn't name your restaurant, the reservation goes to one that gets named.
Reviews and food press are the inputs
AI weighs review volume, recency and sentiment across Google, Yelp and TripAdvisor, plus food press and local publications. The signals that fed food critics now feed the AI.
Being the AI's go-to drives covers
Getting cited as the AI's answer for 'best [cuisine] in [neighborhood]' pushes reservations directly. Once the AI settles on you, it keeps recommending you.
First mover locks the slot
Competitors investing in press, reviews and citations first become the default answer for your neighborhood. Dislodging them costs far more later.
