For independent repair shops and aftermarket service businesses

When drivers ask AI, your shop answers.

Check how AI describes your services, hours, certifications, and specialties. Compare the answers with verified shop facts, identify errors, and track corrections.

Run an AI Shop Checkup See how it works

Every check stores the provider, answer, evidence, and suggested next action.

SocialCRM product film: Your shop knows the answer. Does AI?

The film shows shop imagery, a driver question, and the SocialCRM simulator interface. In the illustrative example, a stored provider answer says the shop closes at 5 p.m.; approved hours say 9 p.m. Review public hours, approve the correction, and keep the evidence. Then run the same question again and compare the stored answers. Run an AI Shop Checkup at socialcrm.com.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) means improving the shop facts AI can use: services, hours, certifications, and location. It does not guarantee a recommendation.

Start with one driver question

What would AI say if someone needed your shop today?

The Visibility Gap

Your shop system has the data. AI can't see it.

Your team knows which vehicles and services your shop supports. SocialCRM records those facts, compares them with AI answers, and shows the mismatch.

Illustrative provider response

"Best shop for Sprinter service near me"

Here are some auto repair shops that may offer Sprinter service in your area:

Joe's Auto Care

General auto repair shop with good reviews. They may be able to service your Sprinter.

Vague — no Sprinter specialization confirmed

QuickLube Express

Oil changes and basic maintenance for most vehicles including some commercial vans.

Wrong — they don't touch Sprinters

I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm Sprinter availability and pricing.

How It Works

A closed loop from verified shop facts to measured AI answers.

Confirm the shop facts. Run the same question against configured AI providers. Route a fix, then run the question again.

What SocialCRM is

Check how AI describes your shop. Track what needs correction.

SocialCRM keeps verified shop facts beside stored answers from five configured provider APIs — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Perplexity by default, plus Grok as an added check. Shopping assistants that recommend or buy are visibility targets, not queryable APIs. The workspace shows what changed, what needs correction, and what to re-check.

  1. Shop data, not a rewritten listing

    Shopmonkey: in rollout. A working API key and a successful test connection are required. Supported fields include location, hours, and your service list. Pricing not published. Tekmetric: in rollout. Not self-serve yet. Tekmetric partner credentials and a successful test connection are required before your shop data can sync. Pricing not published. Shop-Ware: planned. Still being built. It cannot sync real shop data today. Pricing not published.

  2. See the answer. Fix what's wrong.

    We check what AI says about your shop. If a competitor is named instead, if hours are off, if they miss what you specialize in — that becomes a fix tied to a real driver question. Not a report that sits in a folder.

  3. From the answer to a tracked fix

    Route an approved fact, content, or structured-data fix. Then run the same query again and compare the stored provider answers.
