FAQs

Ask a question
01 Why does the AI name other businesses and not mine?

AI tools search the web before they answer and name the businesses whose pages and listings answer the question clearly. If your details are thin, inconsistent or hard to crawl, a competitor with clearer pages gets named instead.

02 Will the answer be the same every time?

No. AI answers change from one ask to the next and from one person to another. Ask a few times over a week, and count yourself named if you show up in most of the answers.

03 Do you keep what I type?

No. The check runs in your browser and sends nothing to us. Your answers only reach Chapter if you choose to send them on WhatsApp.

Tell us about your business. We will show you where to start, whether that is a new website, better rankings on Google, or both.
