The setup wizard now knows a salon from a SaaS
Every project used to be set up as if it sold software — a hair salon in Manhattan was offered “best hair salon software” and “free trial” prompts, and Drybar as a rival. Setup now reads your site for what kind of business it is and where it is, and asks you to confirm both on the Brand step: software, a local business, an online store, or other, and the city, region or country you serve (or Global). Everything after that follows. A local business gets prompts a customer there would actually type — “best plumber in Leeds”, “hair salon near me”, open late, walk-ins, same-day — with the place in every unbranded prompt, no how-to advice that can never name a business, and no software words. An online store gets shopper language: where to buy, free shipping, returns, is it legit. The competitor step suggests rivals in your area and at your tier rather than the most famous names in the category, leaves any competitor whose website didn’t respond unticked, and lets you add one by name alone — we find the website. At most two branded prompts are pre-checked, so a new project’s score isn’t propped up by prompts that name you, and each suggestion now says its own reason instead of the same sentence eight times. Aliases that are just a common business word or a few letters are dropped before they can inflate mention detection. You can go back from Competitors or Prompts, the Baseline screen says how long the first run takes, and a local business is told plainly that AI answers carry no strong location signal, so its first report reads as a floor. Business type and location are editable in Settings; Google AI and Perplexity are asked from your location’s country.
