Contractors and home services

When someone asks AI for a roofer, is it your name?

A homeowner with a leak or a dead AC may ask ChatGPT who to call before they search anywhere else. I ask the assistants those questions, count how often your company is named, and show you who is named instead.

The questions

What I’d ask the assistants for you.

When a single job is worth thousands of dollars, it matters whose name the assistant gives.

  • Who are the best residential AC installers near me?
  • Recommend a reliable roofing contractor in my area.
  • Which plumbers near me handle emergency repairs?
  • Who does good kitchen remodels around here?
  • A licensed electrician near me for a panel upgrade?

These are examples, not results. For your check I use the questions your own customers ask, using your own town or area. This page is for: AC and refrigeration, roofing, plumbing, electrical, kitchen and bath remodeling, restoration.

What you find out

A count, not a guess.

I put each question to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity several times, with live web search on, and count.

How often you’re named

A real count on a given day, split by assistant. AI answers change from run to run, so each question is asked more than once.

Who’s named instead

The businesses the assistants give when it isn’t you, and how often each one comes up.

What to fix first

The full audit adds the web pages the assistants read, a check that AI crawlers can get into your website, and a ranked fix list.

Straight with you

What I can and can’t show you yet.

Why I started with the trades. Before this I spent years as a building maintenance supervisor for a state Department of Education, and I worked in real estate and small renovation jobs. I’ve been around this kind of work for years, and I write the report the way I’d want to read it: what’s wrong, and what to fix first.

No example from your industry to show yet. The sample result on the home page is a real one from another industry, with the name removed. The method is the same. I can’t promise an AI will recommend you; nobody can. I can show you where you stand today.
