AI platform brand monitoring
Check how AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude — describe your agency when citizens ask questions. Identify misinformation or outdated information that needs correction.
Check what ChatGPT and Perplexity say when someone asks about applying for a building permit through the City of Phoenix. Is the information accurate and up to date?
ChatGPT response: mentions the Phoenix permit portal but cites an outdated fee schedule from 2022. References a process that was replaced by the online ePlan system. Perplexity: more accurate, links to the correct portal but omits the new 48-hour expedited review option. Recommend submitting an updated FAQ to your website to correct the data sources AI systems use.
