The code behind this page

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.

1. HTTP response headers

Sent before the page. They tell crawlers the canonical address and that a plain markdown copy exists.

## What AI gets wrong about Northwest

We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini about Northwest. These are the answers that don’t match this page.

ChatGPT and Perplexity, read by Local AI Registry on Jul 22, 2026. Gemini, read by Local AI Registry on Jul 16, 2026.

| Fact | What AI says | What this page says |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Address | ChatGPT, read by Local AI Registry on Jul 22, 2026: 3 The EyeCare Center | 12301 NE 10th Pl #200, Bellevue, WA 98005, USA |


## The AI Score: 30 of 100

It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Bellevue eye care centers run 26 to 53. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Northwest scores 30, below the Bellevue average of 39. The same method scores every business on the registry.

| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | Northwest |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Retrieval grounding | 26 | 0 | 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 | 33 | 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 | 33 | Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews name you, and whether they name you for the right service. | Poor |
| Reviews & response | 12 | 68 | 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 | 55 | 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 | 48 | Core Web Vitals at the 75th percentile, on a real phone. | Fair |
| Content freshness & schema | 5 | 61 | Crawl recency, intent alignment, valid JSON-LD, canonicals. | Fair |
