How this was measured: OrgScanner asked Anthropic Claude 3.5 Haiku, Google Gemini 3.5 Flash, OpenAI GPT-4o mini the 12 buyer-style questions a real customer would ask for “fast food restaurant in Los Angeles”, and recorded which businesses each model named. A point-in-time check, not affiliated with Carl's Jr.. Generated 2026-06-17.

• Carl's Jr. appeared in only 1/12 AI answers — inconsistent, so a buyer who asks once often won’t see it.
• AI surfaced 5 other fast food restaurant businesses by name instead — Carl's Jr. was left out.
• No llms.txt found — AI has no machine-readable profile of Carl's Jr. to quote.
• Likely missing LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema — without it AI can’t reliably extract your services, hours, and service area.
• No GEO content answering the exact buyer questions (“best fast food restaurant in Los Angeles”) that AI pulls from — the Fix Kit ships 5 ready templates.

Carl's Jr. shows up inconsistently — a correct llms.txt + JSON-LD locks in citation so AI surfaces Carl's Jr. every time it answers "fast food restaurant in Los Angeles".

Here's the real llms.txt the Fix Kit installs — the machine-readable profile that makes AI more likely to cite Carl's Jr. (watermarked preview):
