Are AI search engines (ChatGPT/Perplexity) misquoting things about your business?
Hey everyone,
I’m a software developer looking into a problem. I’ve noticed that if someone ask AI engines about services or products that you offer then they frequently hallucinate or pull outdated data of your business (like pricing, specific features, or weekend hours) which you never notice and lose customers. I faced the same issue which one of my friend noticed and told me about my saas.
I looked into how to fix this, and the only platforms doing "AI Search tracking" right now are enterprise tools charging $500+/month just to monitor the data. They don't even offer a direct way to force a re-crawl or patch the data.
I’m thinking about code a lightweight tool in which you can edit your business info which force LLM search crawlers to sync with it so they stop lying about features and pricing through a single clean dashboard.
Before I waste my weekend coding a dashboard for this:
Have any of you actually audited this for your saas on Perplexity/ChatGPT lately? Are you seeing hallucinations?
If someone built a simple $30-50/mo fix that tracked these errors and pushed instant data updates to search indexes, is that a real burner problem you'd pay to solve, or am I overthinking a minor issue?
Curious if anyone else is losing users to AI overviews without realizing it.
