Being Named When Somebody Asks AI Who To Call
When somebody asks ChatGPT who to call, it doesn't hand back ten links. It names a couple of businesses. You're either in that answer or you're not in it.
Where your customers are
They Ask ChatGPT The Way They Would Ask A Neighbor
Ten years ago a homeowner with a leaking roof typed it into Google. Plenty of them now ask ChatGPT instead, in the same words they'd use with a neighbor. "Who should I call for a metal roof near me?"
BrightLocal found 45% of consumers now use AI tools to get local business recommendations. That's a real slice of the people looking for your trade, and they never see a list of links.
Why it matters
Two Or Three Names Is The Whole Answer
Google gives you ten results and a map. ChatGPT gives back a paragraph with two or three companies named in it. No page two to scroll to, no map to zoom out on.
If you're not in that paragraph, the person asking never finds out your business exists. BrightLocal found ChatGPT is the AI tool people reach for most often for local recommendations, at 31%. So the paragraph is worth being in.
Why it takes work
There Is No Form To Fill In And No Ad To Buy
AI builds its answer out of what's already published about your business. So the work is making that plain and making it agree everywhere.
Your website, your Google profile and every old listing have to say the same thing about what you do and where you do it, in sentences a reader could quote. That's the pointed effort, and most contractors have never done any of it.
What this service is
A Paid Add-On And Not Part Of The $297
This is a service you buy on top of the website, and it isn't part of the $297 plan. Most owners add it once the website is up and doing its job.
You're paying for the work above, done on purpose instead of by accident, plus a check every month. We ask ChatGPT, Google's AI results and Perplexity the questions your customers would ask, and send you what came back.
What This Does Not Do
Nobody can promise you a place in an AI answer, and we do not promise one. We ask the same questions by hand every month and show you exactly what came back.
Not every answer is written from the live web. Semrush found ChatGPT turns on its search feature for 34.5% of queries, so this work aims at the answers that do go and look.
An AI answer is built fresh every time somebody asks, so being named is visibility and not a fixed position. We measure it monthly and read it as a trend.
