It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Bend publishers run 25 to 41. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Bend Magazine scores 27, below the Bend average of 30. The same method scores every business on the registry.

Where this page sits in the registry. It's one profile among the publishers in Bend, 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.
