For a birthday at a good price, the list changed completely: Деличи Кетъринг (Delichi Catering), FoodStore.bg and Мечо Фууд Кетъринг (Mecho Food Catering). - ### Magazines count Vagabond magazine was cited 11 times. A feature in a city magazine is read by every assistant. - ### No map for the plainest question Google showed no map for "Which is a good catering company in Sofia?". The assistants answered from caterers' own sites, offer sites and lists. ## What the assistants got wrong - ### An Indian directory, for Sofia - Justdial, an Indian business directory, was cited 12 times for catering in Sofia. - ### Prices in leva - 3 answers still gave catering prices in leva. ## What caterers in Sofia can do **0** of 6 checked on your site 1. ### Make your own site the source One caterer's own website was the most cited source. Menus, prices per person and the events you do, written as text. 2. ### A page for each kind of event Company parties and birthdays brought completely different lists. Show both, with examples and prices. 3. ### Get featured in city magazines Vagabond was cited 11 times. A feature or an event write-up is read by every assistant. 4. ### Make your Google Business Profile complete and exact ChatGPT reads your rating, reviews, hours and address straight from Google Maps. Fill in every field, choose the right categories and keep your hours current. 5. ### Use one name, one phone and one address everywhere In Bulgarian and in Latin letters, identical on your site, Google, Facebook and every directory. Every new spelling splits you in two. 6. ### Ask the assistants about yourself every month The four questions on this page are a good start. Fix any wrong fact where it comes from. ## Questions ### Which catering company in Sofia does AI recommend? Three were named by all three assistants: Laura Catering, MIAM Catering and White Bite Catering. Laura Catering was the most named, in 16 answers. ### How can caterers in Sofia get recommended by ChatGPT? ChatGPT leans on Google Maps, so start with a complete and exact Google Business Profile. Then use one name everywhere, be on the lists the assistants read for your sector, and say plainly on your own site what you do and what it costs, in euro. ### How did you test this? We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity the four questions on this page, three times each, on 30 October 2026, and searched the same questions on Google from Sofia.
