AI is quietly making up things about your business — and your customers are reading it. Not malware. Not hackers. Just ChatGPT and Google's AI summaries pulling outdated or flat-out wrong information
AI is quietly making up things about your business — and your customers are reading it.
Not malware. Not hackers. Just ChatGPT and Google's AI summaries pulling outdated or flat-out wrong information about your company and presenting it as fact.

You didn't buy a bad tool this time. You didn't make any mistake at all. But this one still costs you.
When a prospect asks an AI "what does [your company] do?" — and the answer is wrong, outdated, or describes your competitor — that deal can die before you ever get a phone call.

Here's what's actually happening. Generative AI search tools pull from whatever's publicly available about your business. Old press releases. Outdated directory listings. A review from three years ago. Then they blend it into a confident-sounding "summary" that may have nothing to do with your business today.
The good news: you can influence this without rebuilding anything.
One practical step you can take this week — Google your own business name followed by "according to AI." Then do the same in ChatGPT. What you find is what your prospects are finding.
That 15-minute audit will tell you exactly where to focus first.
