Does AI recommend local businesses in Ireland?
Updated October 15, 2026
Yes. Ask ChatGPT for a solicitor in Galway or an electrician in Cork and it names a few local businesses. People in Ireland ask by town or county and use Irish and British terms, so the answers are local. Our free check asks those questions for your town in all four assistants and shows you who gets named.
How people in Ireland ask AI for a business
People in Ireland ask for a solicitor, an accountant, an estate agent or an auctioneer, and a plumber or electrician by town. County comes up a lot more than it does in the US: "roofer in County Kildare".
Some people type an Eircode, though most ask by town or Dublin area ("dentist in Rathmines"). Spelling is British.
- “Who's a good solicitor in Galway for buying a house?”
- “Electrician in Cork city, any recommendations?”
- “Best estate agent in Dublin 6?”
- “Reliable roofer in County Kildare?”
The sites AI reads about Irish businesses
Assistants that search the web as they answer read listings and review sites, and the ones people in Ireland use aren't the same as elsewhere. Keep your name, address and phone identical on all of them.
Google Business Profile
The main listing assistants lean on. Keep your town, category and hours right and reply to reviews.
Golden Pages
Ireland's long-running business directory. Match your details to Google exactly.
Trustpilot
Used in Ireland for service businesses. Recent reviews give assistants something to quote.
Bing Places
ChatGPT's search has been reported to draw on Bing's index. Claim it alongside Google.
Cities we can check in Ireland
Any city or town works, including small ones. These are just examples: Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Kilkenny.
Irish city studies are coming
Our published studies are all US cities so far. We'll publish Irish ones once the runs are done, and we don't quote figures for Ireland before then. Your own free check works today.
How the free check works in Ireland
We put around 48 questions about your trade and your town to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity and save every answer word for word. Your report shows how many named you, who was named instead, and your first fix.
Enter your website and we read your business, trade and town from it. Put your county in the region box.
The questions are asked in English. Some of our question sets were written for the US and still use US terms such as CPA, LLC or furnace. We haven't localised those yet, so if your report shows one, that's why.
Prices are in US dollars: Free costs nothing, and the paid plans are charged in USD, so your card provider converts at its own rate.
Check your business for free
Enter your website. We ask the four assistants the questions your customers ask and email you who they recommend.
Common questions from Irish businesses
Does AI Mention Score work in Ireland?
Yes. Any town or city works, from Dublin to a small county town. Confirm your town and county when you enter your website.
Will a small town get any AI answers?
Usually, though fewer firms get named. In a small UK town we checked, two of the four assistants named someone for every question and Claude often said it didn't know. Those gaps are where a business that's easy to find online can stand out.
Are prices in euro?
No, in US dollars, and your card provider converts. The free plan costs nothing.
Do you have Irish study data?
Not yet. Published studies are US so far, and we won't quote Irish figures until we publish them.
