Show HN: NamedLocal – does ChatGPT recommend your local business?

NamedLocal is a lightweight tool that checks whether ChatGPT recommends a specific local business in its responses. As more people use AI chatbots for recommendations, businesses risk losing potential customers if the AI doesn't mention them — even if they're well-known locally. The tool lets a business owner enter their business name and a location, and see how ChatGPT responds to a natural-language query about that area (e.g., "best coffee shop in Brooklyn"). This matters because AI-generated answers are increasingly shaping consumer choices, and there's currently no standard way for local businesses to influence or audit what the models say about them.
