Frequently Asked Questions

What are AI browsers and how do they differ from regular browsers?
AI browsers like ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity Comet, and Dia Browser replace the traditional URL bar with an AI interface. Instead of typing a web address and clicking through links, you ask a question and the AI finds, reads, and synthesizes information for you. Some, like Atlas, can even take actions on your behalf — booking appointments, filling forms, and comparing prices across sites.

How do AI browsers affect small businesses?
AI browsers change how customers find businesses. Instead of clicking through search results and visiting websites, AI browsers give direct answers. If your business information is inaccurate, inconsistent, or blocked from AI access, you become invisible to customers using these browsers. The positive side: AI browsers evaluate businesses by quality signals like reviews and accuracy rather than advertising budgets, which can benefit smaller businesses.

Should small businesses block AI bots from their websites?
No. Blocking AI bots makes your business invisible to AI browsers and AI-powered search. It is equivalent to not being listed in the Yellow Pages in the 1990s. AI browsers need to read your site to recommend you. Instead of blocking AI, focus on making your business information accurate and consistent across all platforms.
