When Austin buyers ask AI for the best MSP, who shows up?
We asked ChatGPT and Gemini the 4 questions Austin businesses actually use to pick a managed IT provider. Here's who gets recommended, who gets cited, and who's invisible.
When a prospect asks ChatGPT "best managed IT provider in Austin," the same handful of names come back every time. If you're not one of them, you're not in the conversation.
AI visibility = how many of the 8 AI answers name you (lime dots), and whether AI cites your site as a source. Google = your best local-pack and organic position.
