The story

Premier Auto Centre had a decent website but was completely invisible when customers asked ChatGPT or Perplexity for garage recommendations in Sheffield. After claiming their profile and publishing AI-optimised content, they now appear in 4 out of 5 major AI engines for local queries.

Within 3 months of using RecallIQ AEO, we went from nowhere in AI search to appearing in 4 out of 5 engines. The visibility score jumped from 18 to 62.

The story

Rapid MOT & Service was losing customers to national chains that appeared first in AI search results. With RecallIQ's competitor visibility map and automated content generation, they steadily climbed past their local competitors across all AI engines.

The monthly reports and competitor tracking helped us understand exactly what we needed to improve. Now we're ranking ahead of 3 major competitors in our area.

The story

Blue Ribbon Garage specialised in fleet contracts but had no visibility when fleet managers asked AI tools for local recommendations. RecallIQ built their AI profile across all five engines, resulting in a steady stream of new enquiry calls.

AI visibility was a black box to us before RecallIQ. Now we have real data on our progress and can see exactly why customers are finding us through AI search.

The story

A traditional independent garage with no online presence beyond a basic Google listing. After a full AEO implementation alongside Pro's reminder and review automation, they now dominate AI search in their local area.

We went from 0 to 78 on the AI visibility score. The recall alerts and review automation alone paid for the subscription within the first month.

The story

This garage had strong word-of-mouth but zero AI search presence. After deploying RecallIQ's AEO content suite over eight months, they became the most cited garage in their town across AI engines.

We're now cited by Perplexity for 'best MOT garage Wolverhampton'. That didn't exist 8 months ago — customers now find us before they even search Google.

The story

Express Auto Care wasn't focused on AI visibility — they needed to stop losing MOT customers to national chains. RecallIQ Pro's reminder automation recovered them measurable revenue almost immediately.

The MOT reminder automation recovered 34 lost customers in the first 60 days. That's £1,200 in revenue we would have missed.
