Platform Setup Guides

Google Business Profile is the #1 most important listing for local businesses. When someone searches for your category on Google (e.g., "plumbers near me"), your Google Business Profile determines if you appear in Google Maps and local search results. This affects ALL AI platforms because ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity all pull data from Google.

Yelp is the #2 most important platform after Google. When customers search for "best [category] in [city]", Yelp heavily influences AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Yelp reviews are considered highly trustworthy by AI.

Connect your Google Calendar to Middleverse and let AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) book appointments directly into your calendar. Customers can also book through your website using our embeddable widget with schema.org markup for maximum AI discoverability. Usage is tracked for monthly billing.

Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is Google's open standard that enables AI agents to discover your products and complete purchases directly. When customers use Google AI Mode, Gemini, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot, UCP lets them buy from you instantly without leaving the AI interface. Major partners include Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Target, and Walmart.
