# AIOStory > AIOStory is a free, directional AI-visibility read for franchises and > multi-location brands. You enter the URLs for your locations (a corporate > site plus up to 3 locations, 4 in total) and AIOStory compares the public > evidence available at each one, then synthesizes one brand-level account > across them: what AI systems can assemble about your brand, where that > evidence stays consistent, where it breaks down, and which locations > publish nothing an AI system can read. > > AIOStory evaluates public signals that AI and search systems can access. > It does not claim to observe every answer generated by every AI platform, > and it does not query ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or AI Overviews. ## What it does - Accepts a corporate site plus up to 3 location URLs (4 in total), deduplicated by host. The free read is directional and always discloses how many of how many were sampled (N of M). The free read is a bounded taste; checking every location and microsite, or a full competitor set, is a custom full evaluation from Digilu. - Scores each sampled location on six signals (0 to 10, shown 0 to 100): Clarity, Identity, Substance, Reach, Trust, Locality. It also detects when AI cannot read a location at all (a bot challenge or an unreachable site). - Scores each location on the AIOTruth evaluation engine that powers the AIOInsights single-site check (one call per location); it does not invent or duplicate its own rubric. AIOTruth evaluates each site; AIOStory compares. - Synthesizes six story chapters from the per-location data: 1. Who AI Thinks Your Brand Is, 2. What AI Gets Wrong, 3. Where AI Looks Elsewhere, 4. Missing Chapters, 5. Trust Signals, 6. The Fuller Story. - Deterministic and honest: the same inputs always produce the same story, word for word. No LLM is used to score or to write the story, no paid API is called, and nothing is fabricated. Every chapter sentence traces to a measured value; a chapter with no data says so rather than inventing filler. ## Compare two locations (https://aiostory.com/compare/) AIOStory also offers a pairwise Compare Two Locations mode. You enter two of your location URLs and AIOStory evaluates each one on the same six pillars using the AIOTruth evaluation foundation (the same deterministic rubric, one call per location), then compares the two results, one location against the other, and shows where the narrative, evidence, and visibility differ. It is deterministic and private: the comparison renders in the visitor's browser only, nothing is published, saved, or emailed, and neither location is notified. AIOStory produces no public ranked list of named companies. ## What it is not AIOStory produces no public ranked list of named companies and publishes no directory of who beats whom. Its comparisons (one brand across all its locations, or two of its locations one against the other) render privately for the person who runs them. For a single website, the right tool is AIOInsights (https://aioinsights.com). ## The upsell, stated honestly The free read is directional: one corporate site against up to three locations, or two of your locations one against the other. The full picture, every location and microsite read individually, is a custom full evaluation from Digilu. Every free read ends with the same next step: contact Digilu for a custom full evaluation. ## Key pages - Home and the multi-location input: https://aiostory.com/ - Compare two locations (one against the other): https://aiostory.com/compare/ - How it works: https://aiostory.com/how-it-works/ - Example story (a fictional sample brand): https://aiostory.com/example-story/ - Methodology: https://aiostory.com/methodology/ - Resources: https://aiostory.com/resources/ - Glossary: https://aiostory.com/glossary/ - About: https://aiostory.com/about/ ## Who built it AIOStory is built by Digilu (https://digilu.com), the team behind AIOInsights.

Why a brand-level average is misleading, what actually varies between locations, and what a real comparison has to do. ## Location by location - [Location by location](https://aiostory.com/locations/): AIOStory|What actually varies between locations of the same brand, the problems that hide, and what a per-location report has to contain to be worth reading. - [Comparing locations in different markets](https://aiostory.com/locations/competitive-density/): AIOStory|A location scoring lower than its sibling may be performing better. Why raw league tables mislead, and what to compare instead. - [Entity confusion: when a system merges two of your locations](https://aiostory.com/locations/entity-confusion/): AIOStory|The most damaging multi-location finding and the least visible. The five causes, how to detect it, and why it does not correct itself. - [What a franchise structure does to AI visibility](https://aiostory.com/locations/franchise-structures/): AIOStory|Four predictable problems the franchisor cannot fix centrally, what actually works, and the relationship signal almost nobody uses. - [The head office blind spot](https://aiostory.com/locations/head-office-blind-spot/): AIOStory|Everything the centre controls is shared and everything that varies is invisible from it. The three habits that follow, and what closes it. - [What local corroboration is, and how it accumulates](https://aiostory.com/locations/local-corroboration/): AIOStory|The largest component of a location score and the one head office cannot produce centrally.

Including the absence rule and how often to re-run it. - [Why one region reads differently from another](https://aiostory.com/locations/regional-visibility/): AIOStory|Regional visibility is decided by corroboration, local competition and vocabulary, most of it held outside your own site. Why a national average hides both ends. - [The retired address that never went away](https://aiostory.com/locations/retired-addresses/): AIOStory|The most common cause of multi-location entity problems, the cheapest to fix, and the one nobody owns. - [Your store locator may be invisible](https://aiostory.com/locations/store-locator/): AIOStory|A store locator that draws itself after loading publishes no addresses. How to check in two minutes, and what a real location page has to carry. - [Why two identical branches are described differently](https://aiostory.com/locations/why-branches-differ/): AIOStory|Same brand, same services, same website, different AI visibility. The five things that vary per location and why head office cannot see any of them. ## Insights - [Comparison methodology notes](https://aiostory.com/insights/): Comparison methodology notes from AIOStory: how AI answer engines assemble and compare a business's story across locations and against public peers, and what makes a comparison fair, deterministic, and reproducible. - [What makes an AI comparison fair and reproducible.](https://aiostory.com/insights/what-makes-an-ai-comparison-fair/): A comparison is only worth reading if someone else, running the same two locations on the same day, would reach the same result.
