Book a demoOur story
Chantry was not built by an agency or a venture fund. Harry ran his own local business, watched great owners lose customers to worse ones because of how they showed up online, and could not find a single tool built for people like them.
AI search made that problem ten times harder to solve alone. So he built one.

By the numbers
AI is now one of the most common ways buyers find a local business in their area. If a competitor shows up and you do not, that lead is gone before you ever see it.
BrightLocal, 2026Add Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI and the number of buyers asking AI to recommend a local business is enormous. Most of them take the first name they get.
OpenAI, 2026Buyers are getting answers directly from AI without clicking through to websites. The businesses AI names win. The ones it skips do not get a second chance.
Gartner, 2024Ask any AI engine for a local recommendation and it names two or three businesses. There is no page two. Most owners have no idea where they rank or which queries their competitors are taking from them.

What you get
Watch
Chantry tracks every competitor in your category within your area, their AI mention rate, review velocity, Google prominence, and profile activity. Your neighbourhood leaderboard updates every week so you always know who is gaining, who is slipping, and where the gaps are opening.
Find
Chantry turns the questions buyers ask AI into a ranked opportunity feed. Each gap is a query where a rival gets named and you do not, scored by real demand, how winnable it is, and how long it has been open. The biggest, most winnable gaps rise to the top.
Close
Claim a gap and Autopilot runs the whole campaign. It builds the answer page, orchestrates review asks, and fixes citation inconsistencies, sequenced in the right order and applied overnight. Safe changes go live automatically. Anything public-facing waits for your one-tap approval.
Prove
A campaign is not done until it is measured. About two weeks after the work lands, Chantry re-asks the exact query across the AI assistants we track and records the flip. You see the before and after for every gap you close, not a promise.
Built for the owner
You run the business. You should not need an SEO degree, a long contract, or a dashboard with forty tabs. Here is how Chantry stacks up against the usual options.
