AI Visibility by city: is your local market covered?

Why AI visibility varies by city

Each Belgian city has its own economic ecosystem, dominant sectors and competitive dynamics. Brussels with its 120,000 businesses and trilingual market is nothing like Mons with its creative technology ecosystem, or Antwerp with its world-class port.

LLMs treat geographic queries with specific biases. A business well-positioned in AI responses for its city captures a stream of qualified prospects that its local competitors don't even see passing by. It's a structural advantage that strengthens over time.

At AISOS, we've audited businesses in Belgium's 10 major cities. The finding is clear: the vast majority of B2B SMEs are invisible to AI in their own city. But the levers to fix this differ from one city to another.
