Questions accountants ask us
- How do I get my firm recommended by ChatGPT?
- AI engines with web search lean on what the web says about you: how many recent Google reviews you have, listings on sites like Yelp, the BBB and Expertise.com, and pages that name your city and services, such as CPA, small business accountant and tax preparation. Pickgap compares you with the accountants that do get picked on exactly those points and ranks the fixes by impact. No one can promise a ranking; the fixes raise your chances, and the next scan shows whether they worked.
- Which questions does Pickgap ask about accountants?
- 25 questions per business, the way clients ask them, like "best CPA in your city for small business" and "tax preparer in your city for self employed". Each is asked twice, as a searcher in your city, on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode: 250 answers per report.
- Is AI visibility the same as local SEO?
- They share signals (reviews, listings, your website), but an AI answer names only a handful of accountants, and each engine picks differently. Ranking on Google doesn't mean ChatGPT names you. Pickgap measures the AI side directly, per engine.
- What does it cost?
- The free check costs nothing and takes about a minute. Tracking one accountant starts at $29 a month; agencies tracking 25 clients pay $199. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial, no card.
