Be Found by AI.
Search is changing. Customers increasingly ask AI chatbots — not search engines — to find restaurants, products, services, and businesses. CRSTBL AI Discovery makes your business visible to the AI systems that are answering those questions.
Every conversation makes the next one smarter.
AI search is fragmenting across LLMs, voice assistants, and social platforms. CRSTBL treats them as one loop: capture intent wherever the customer arrives, answer in real conversation, save every context, then publish it back so every engine finds you next time.
You already have a Google Business Profile. Here’s what CRSTBL adds.
Google Business Profile is table stakes. It gets your business into Google Maps and Search. But the AI ecosystem is much bigger than Google — LLMs that crawl the web today (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) and closed networks CRSTBL is building integrations toward (Uber Eats, Apple, Alexa, industry-specific AI). CRSTBL is designed to be the neutral source that both kinds of consumers can pull from.
Neutral platform, no gatekeeper bias.
Google’s directory is designed for Google’s ecosystem. Networks like Uber Eats, DoorDash, Apple, Amazon, and independent LLMs have every reason not to use it. CRSTBL is a neutral directory that any AI platform can consume — without ceding control to a competitor.
One place, not ten.
Without CRSTBL, keeping your menu, hours, and location info current means updating Google, Yelp, Facebook, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Apple Maps, and every industry directory separately. With CRSTBL, you update once and CRSTBL publishes to LLMs that crawl the web today — and to closed networks as integrations come online.
Built for AI, not just Maps.
Google Business Profile was built for a world where customers searched by keyword and clicked links. CRSTBL was built for a world where customers ask questions — and expects AI systems to answer them accurately using rich menu, product, and service context.
Not either/or. Keep your GBP listing — CRSTBL is designed to complement it, not replace it. But if you want your business represented well across the full AI ecosystem, GBP alone won’t get you there.
Your Website Is Indexed by Google. Is It Indexed by AI?
Today, when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or another AI chatbot “where can I get good pad thai near me” or “which distributor carries industrial nitrile gloves,” those AI systems search for structured, accessible business data to answer the question.
Most small businesses — and many large ones — have no structured presence in this new discovery layer. Their website content exists, but it isn’t formatted or accessible in the way AI systems need.
CRSTBL solves this. Every CRSTBL account receives a hosted directory page that structures your business information for AI consumption. We call this AI Engine Optimization (AEO) or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — the AI equivalent of SEO.
Menus, products, services, locations, hours, specials
Structured, crawlable, formatted for LLM consumption
Free for Every CRSTBL Account.
Every CRSTBL account — Local, Enterprise, or during your 14-day free trial — receives a hosted directory page on CRSTBL’s platform. This page structures your business information (menus, products, services, locations, hours, specials) in a format that AI chatbots and LLM search engines can discover and reference.
You don’t pay for this. We fund it by charging AI platforms a nominal access fee for the data connection — not the business.
We believe discoverability in the age of AI is a baseline right, not a premium feature.
- Hosted, crawlable webpage built from your business data
- Structured for AI chatbot and LLM search consumption
- Updated when you update your business information in CRSTBL
- Available to all account types at no cost
Go Further With the CRSTBL Context Engine.
The free hosted page makes your business discoverable. Our proprietary Context Engine helps AI systems understand it in greater depth.
Rather than relying solely on the information available from a webpage, the Context Engine builds a richer representation of your business using structured data stored within the CRSTBL platform. It captures product and service relationships, business attributes, industry-specific context, distinguishing your business from similar names or offerings, and other signals that help AI systems generate more accurate and relevant responses about your business.
The Context Engine also generates optimization assets—including recommended metadata, keywords, and implementation guidance—that you can apply to your own website to strengthen how AI systems interpret your content while keeping your digital presence on infrastructure you own and control.
| Product | Price | What’s Included |

| Context Engine — Base | $99/year | Enhanced AI context generation, website optimization assets, and publishing through CRSTBL. |
| Context Engine — Plus | $199/year | Everything in Base, plus quarterly context refreshes and publishing to new discovery networks as they arise. |

What Is AEO? What Is GEO?
AEO (AI Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) describe the practice of making business information discoverable and usable by AI chatbots and large language models (LLMs). It’s the AI-era equivalent of SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Just as SEO helps your website rank in Google, AEO/GEO helps your business appear in AI-generated answers — when someone asks ChatGPT for a restaurant recommendation, when Perplexity searches for a local service provider, or when any LLM-powered tool tries to find businesses matching a customer’s question.
CRSTBL’s AI Discovery services handle this for you — the free hosted page provides baseline visibility, and the Context Engine provides deeper optimization.

More customers are asking AI chatbots the questions they used to type into Google — and today, most businesses have no controlled presence in the answers those chatbots generate.
