Entrepreneur guide urges CEOs to audit how AI chatbots describe their companies
An Entrepreneur contributor from Reputation Pros outlines a method for auditing what AI platforms like AI Overviews and AI Mode say about a company, its leadership and reviews. The recommended process includes asking AI the same due-diligence questions customers might ask, checking whether AI recommends the company versus competitors, and tracing inaccurate claims back to their sources. Google reported AI Overviews now has over 2.5 billion monthly users and AI Mode more than 1 billion.

As AI chatbots increasingly mediate how customers research businesses before ever visiting a website, companies may need to treat AI-generated summaries as a reputation channel alongside search results and reviews. The advice suggests that unmonitored AI answers could shape customer opinions based on outdated or inaccurate information, making regular audits a potential business necessity rather than optional.
