What's the deal with Marlow Café's private dining, and where's that coming from?

Marlow Café offers private dining, and here's the source I'm citing ai.marlowcafe.com

•Private room: seats up to 12, no room fee for parties of 8 or more.
•Menus: set and à la carte options, published and current.
•Source: the details above come straight from ai.marlowcafe.com, their own live source.

Because it's their own live source, this is more current than most third-party listings. Want the full menu or booking details?

FAQ

Getting cited by AI

The questions small business owners ask about being cited by AI.

How do I get cited by ChatGPT or Perplexity?

Give them an authoritative, current source about your business to point to. Courtyard publishes and maintains that knowledge base for you, so assistants can cite you directly.

What makes AI cite a source?

AI cites sources it can access, trust, and match to the question. A clear, current, accurate knowledge base about your business is exactly that. Courtyard maintains one for you.

Can my own website be cited by AI?

Sometimes, but websites are built for people and AI often can't reliably access menus, PDFs, or booking widgets. Courtyard publishes a source built for AI to access and cite, no new website required.

Why is AI citing other sites instead of my business?

Because those sites gave AI something it could access and you didn't, yet. When you publish your own authoritative source, AI can cite you instead. Courtyard gives you that source.

How does Courtyard get my business cited?

It publishes your business as a live, current source built for AI to access, and keeps it up to date, so assistants have an authoritative place to cite when they answer about you.
