Local visibility for the AI search era

About Sandwich Board AI

We believe the way customers find businesses is changing - fast. And most businesses don't yet understand how they show up in that new world.

Our mission

Help local businesses win in the AI search era.

Search is no longer just a list of links. Customers are asking AI tools what to do, where to go, and who to trust. Sandwich Board AI exists to make that shift visible - and actionable.

  • Whether you appear in AI-generated recommendations
  • How you compare to your local competitors
  • Exactly what you can do to improve

If you're not showing up in AI answers, you're not in the conversation.

Why we built this

We brought clarity to a black box.

AI tools are becoming the first place people go for decisions - "best dentist near me," "top accountant in my city," "where should I eat tonight?" But unlike traditional SEO, there's no dashboard, no ranking page, and no clear way to measure performance.

So we built one - and gave businesses a way to compete.
