FAQ

Getting customers from AI

The questions small business owners ask about getting business from AI.

Can AI actually bring my business customers?

Yes. People increasingly ask AI to find, compare, and choose local businesses. When AI understands yours, it surfaces, recommends, and cites you, and that sends real customers your way.

How do I get customers from ChatGPT?

Make your business understandable to AI so it can surface, recommend, and cite you accurately. Courtyard maintains the live knowledge base that makes all four happen, from one place.

Is getting customers from AI worth it for a small business?

It's becoming a real channel, the way Google and social did. Getting in early, before competitors, is inexpensive and compounding. Courtyard starts at $20/month.

Courtyard starts at $20/month, with no new website and no developer required. You set up a live AI knowledge base in minutes and keep it current in minutes.
