Sam's Grill is a historic seafood spot with a charming atmosphere, but inconsistent food quality and service issues detract from its reputation. (AI guess, from 817 reviews.)
It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. San Francisco seafood restaurants run 23 to 62. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Sam's scores 40, above the San Francisco average of 37. The same method scores every business on the registry.
| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | Sam's |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retrieval grounding | 26 | 35 | Whether you appear in the ranked results AI retrieves and cites: AI-Overview citations, organic top-10 for your money queries, and the Bing index ChatGPT leans on. | Poor |
| Off-property attestation | 20 | 41 | Volume and consistency of what others say about you: YouTube mentions, branded web mentions, third-party “best-of” lists. The cause of retrievability. | Poor |
| AI visibility | 14 | 0 | Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews name you, and whether they name you for the right service. | Poor |
| Reviews & response | 12 | 85 | The star average is only one input. We also read volume, velocity, the specificity of review language, and response cadence. Specific reviews are what AI quotes verbatim. | Good |
| Backlink & citation authority | 8 | 57 | Domain authority and editorial quality of the sources that attest to you. | Fair |
| Google Business Profile | 8 | 90 | Required and recommended fields; update cadence. The listing AI pulls from first. | Good |
| Speed & mobile | 7 | 64 | Core Web Vitals at the 75th percentile, on a real phone. | Fair |
| Content freshness & schema | 5 | 76 | Crawl recency, intent alignment, valid JSON-LD, canonicals. | Good |

Where this page sits in the registry. It's one profile among the seafood restaurants in San Francisco, linked to the lists and towns around it.
This is exactly what this page sends to Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. We publish it in the open for two reasons: so you can see nothing here is hidden or made up, and so any business or developer can copy it. Being a good local AI steward means the machine version says exactly what the human version says.

Each reference names the fact, the source, what kind of source it is, and the date it was checked, with a link and an archived copy so anyone can verify it. Visitor references are dated firsthand accounts. AI guesses record what an AI engine said on that date, not what is true.
