Customers now ask AI for a florist. Will it name your shop?
Search used to hand customers a page of links. AI names just three or four shops, and only the ones it can confirm are real. It works like a wedding planner’s vendor list: if you’re not on it, you don’t get the call.
I Speak Flowers is the list AI can trust: real brick-and-mortar flower shops only. Start with the free AI-ready scorecard, then claim your shop.
How AI-ready is your shop?
Customers now ask AI for a florist, and AI names only the shops it can find, read and trust. This free scorecard shows you where your shop stands. Free to use. You don’t need to be a member.
- Print the scorecard. It’s two pages, front and back.
- Score yourself on page one (optional). Count how much of each green box you’ve done: all of it is a 10, about half is a 5.
- Fill out page two: your shop name, city and website. Years in business and shop facts are (optional).
- Take a picture of the dashed box on page two with your phone.
- Send it to the AI of your choice: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity. Use one that can search the web. It will score your shop and list the three fixes that help most.
- Fix three things, then score again in 30 days.
Your test, your results. You print it, you fill it out, and you send it to your own AI. We never see your answers or your score, so we can’t change them. Being a member doesn’t add points, and the 10 checks never mention I Speak Flowers.

Any shop may ask to be removed at any time. Claiming it simply puts the shop in charge of what it says.
Questions florists ask
Does a flower shop pay to be on the list?
No. Every shop that meets the definition is listed, whether or not it holds a membership. No shop can pay to be listed, and no shop can pay for a better position. There is no premium placement, no sponsored result and no advertising of any kind on the list.
What does the window decal cost?
$7. Any shop that meets the definition can get a window decal for $7, member or not. The window decal is the one use of the branding that needs no membership. Using the mark anywhere else — delivery trucks, outgoing boxes, a website, staff shirts or other marketing — requires a membership (for flower shops) or a licence (for suppliers).
What does membership buy, then?
Three things, none of which is a listing or a position. A vote on what the definition says. A licence to use the I Speak Flowers mark beyond the shop window. And the marketing that the pooled dues pay for. Membership is open to flower shops only and costs 200 dollars a year per location, with each location qualifying on its own. Growers, wholesalers and shippers cannot become members; they may license the mark for their delivery trucks, outgoing boxes, website and marketing, and a licence carries no vote and no listing.
Is this a wire service or an order gatherer?
No. A wire service accepts an order and passes it to a shop, keeping a fee. An order gatherer advertises as a local florist in a town where it has no premises, takes the order, and forwards it to whichever shop will accept the remaining margin. This is neither. It is a register: a published definition, a list of the shops that meet it, and each shop's own telephone number. No order reaches any shop through us.
My shop is on the list and I did not put it there. Why?
The first version of the list was built from public records, the same way Google Business Profile lists a business before the owner ever logs in. Until a shop claims its listing it reads “not yet claimed”, which is a statement about the listing rather than about the shop. Any shop may claim its listing, correct its details, or ask to be removed entirely, and removal is honoured without question.
