When someone asks AI where to eat, what to do, or where to stay — Citybook makes sure they hear about your businesses. Not just the ones with the most reviews.
The Problem
When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for a recommendation, they get the same five results everyone else gets — the places with the most reviews and the biggest online presence. The neighbourhood gem your BIA just onboarded, tonight's special at the restaurant that doesn't even have a website, the family event happening this weekend — none of that reaches the answer.

How It Works
Tonight's special, the dog-friendly patio, the private dining room. A quick text or a 2-minute form.
We turn it into a format that every AI assistant can understand. One update reaches them all.
Whether someone asks Siri, ChatGPT, or Google — they get an answer that reflects what's actually happening in your city today.
For Organizations
You already know which businesses make your city great. Citybook makes sure AI does too.
Give every AI platform access to your city’s real business story — not stale search results. One partnership, every AI assistant.
Your member businesses get recommended by AI assistants — the same ones visitors and residents are already using every day.
Restaurants, hotels, retailers — make sure the details that set your members apart actually reach the people looking for them.
We're partnering city by city. If you represent a tourism board, BIA, or community organization — let's talk.
