How it works

One URL in. A scored battle plan out.

No setup, no tags to install. Paste a facility link and DriveUp does the rest.

1

Drop in your facility URL

DriveUp pulls your listing, location and the competitors fighting for the same renters.

2

We ask the models your renters use

We run the real questions renters ask — live web search through ChatGPT, what Claude and Gemini already know about you, and your Google Maps position — then see who gets named.

Get scores plus a fix list

Seven scores and a prioritized to-do list — written for operators, not SEO consultants.

Why operators need it

The shelf moved. Most operators are still stocking the old one.

Renters no longer scroll ten blue links. They ask one question and act on the short list that comes back.

AI answers, not search results 37% of people who use AI tools now start their search there rather than on Google. The model names a handful of facilities — and that's the whole consideration set. Eight Oh Two, 2026
Invisible is worse than ranked #11 There's no "page two" to claw back from. If the model doesn't mention you, the renter never knows you exist.
Winner-take-most The top match captures the move-in. DriveUp shows where you're missing and how to become the name the model trusts.

The behavior already shifted

The numbers are not a forecast. This is how people search and rent today.

Revenue impact

Invisibility has a price tag.

Avg. unit ≈ $130/mo. A renter who stays a year is worth ~$1,560. Miss just 3 AI-driven move-ins a month and the math compounds fast.

Common questions

Quick answers

What does DriveUp actually check?
Whether AI assistants and Google recommend your facility for real renter queries, plus your technical health, content, local SEO, reputation and competitor position — six scored pillars and an overall score, seven numbers in one report.
Is this SEO or AI visibility?
AI discoverability first — that's where renters are heading. Your local SEO is audited in the same pass, since the two reinforce each other.
How fast do results improve?
Published industry timelines put measurable movement at roughly 6–12 weeks after the core fixes land, with quick technical wins showing sooner. We don't have enough DriveUp customer history to promise a number of our own — what we can say is that most competitors haven't started, so early movers gain an outsized edge.
When do I get my report?
The audit runs after you check out — it queries five AI models, crawls your page and pulls your local competitor set, so it isn't instant. We email you the link as soon as it's ready.
What does it cost?
Every report is a flat $20 per facility — no contract, no subscription, no enterprise minimum.
How is this different from my marketing agency?
DriveUp gives you the AI-search scoreboard and fix list. Hand it to your agency, or act on it yourself — either way you finally know where you stand.
