More and more customers ask ChatGPT instead of Google. We asked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini what a customer would ask: “best landscaping company in Columbus”. They name a handful of businesses — the rest don't exist for that customer. Answers change from one question to the next — this is what they said when we asked.
