44 AI answers, nine named him
Zach Vorsteg builds AI phone answering and lead follow-up systems for small businesses. He tested how AI assistants answer his customers. He asked four assistants 11 questions that customers would type. The test produced 44 answers. Nine answers named him or one of his sites. All four assistants named the same local shop for a custom-shirt question. That shop holds a 4.9 rating from 308 Google reviews. His own answering-service site never put his name or his city in the footer, so the assistants could not connect the site to him.
How it wentThe whole test cost about 66 cents, per the poster. The cheapest fix on his list is his own name and city in his site footer. He sells AI services, and he frames the test as his own experiment on his own business.
