Is the franchise baseline a replacement for local SEO?

No. It measures a different recommendation layer: what AI assistants say when buyers ask who to hire, visit, or call.

Can you audit only a sample of locations?

Yes. A 10-location sample is the fastest way to find patterns before expanding to every market.

What happens after the baseline?

AIrecommend.ai turns findings into an approval-gated automation roadmap: listings, entity profile, review themes, GBP, data studies, press hooks, and recurring rescans.
