Buyers asking AI for a Ford dealer around Irvine hear Norm Reeves Ford Superstore in 0 of 3 answers.
3 things to fix, 1 of them costing the store buyers today. 2 fixed once in the first week, 1 worked every month.

What is wrong

  1. AI assistants leave the store out. We asked ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity 1 question a Ford shopper in Irvine would ask. Norm Reeves Ford Superstore was named in 0 of 3 answers. Instead they named Tuttle-Click Ford, AutoNation Ford and Two Ford. see the evidence
  2. AI quotes other sites about the store, not the store. When the assistants back up an answer with a link, they point to tuttleclickford.com, dealerrater.com and caredge.com and to the store's own website only 2 of 36 times. A dealer's site that AI doesn't quote is a dealer AI describes second-hand. see the evidence
  3. The homepage title does not say the city. The title is the first line Google shows and reads. It does not mention Irvine. see the evidence
