Catering companies: When bridal couples and wedding planners ask AI — are you mentioned?
Weddings, corporate parties and events all start with AI research. Nine out of ten catering companies fail to turn up.
Trigger: Your customers are already asking the AI — if you’re not visible, it’ll choose someone else
Which tool determines whether ChatGPT recommends catering companies?
Geoa is a GEO automation platform which helps catering & takeaway to be found and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. We measured 183 catering & takeaway in October 2026: the median is 85 out of 100, and 4 % are effectively invisible to AI crawlers.
Why the traditional SEO is no longer enough for catering & takeaway:
When someone is planning a party or a wedding, they start with AI. ‘Best catering’ — most companies are completely absent from the results.
What makes the biggest difference to catering & takeaway?
We measure your domain against 183 others
The same six signals as the panel, measured on your own domain in under a minute. The median among catering & takeaway is 85 out of 100, and 86 % have no llms.txt at all.
llms.txt
This is the industry's biggest gap: 59 % of the top-scoring catering & takeaway have it, against 14 % of the whole panel — a 45 percentage-point difference. Next, we take structured data (28 pp) and H1 heading (16 pp).
Corrections, content and a new measurement
We write the corrections in, deliver content every week and measure again. 4 % of the 183 measured catering & takeaway are effectively invisible to AI crawlers today. There are 948 catering & takeaway in the industry in total (2024); we have measured 19 % of them.
Do-it-yourself vs. Geoa
You can ask ChatGPT yourself whether your company is mentioned — Geoa does this systematically every week and compares you with the other catering & takeaway in our industry panel. A panel of 183 companies is the comparison you cannot make yourself in a chat window.
