Why This Matters

AI is the new word of mouth for trade businesses.

When a homeowner asks ChatGPT "best HVAC repair near me," AI systems recommend businesses they can verify. If yours isn't optimized for it, that call goes to a competitor.

🤖

Audits all the AI channels

The check covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot — the four AI systems your potential customers are actually using to find local services.

🎯

Built for trade & service businesses

Plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, contractors, handymen, excavation — this isn't a generic SEO tool. Every issue and fix is calibrated for local service businesses.

⚡

Specific fixes, not vague advice

Every issue comes with an exact fix — not "improve your SEO" but "claim your Google Business Profile at business.google.com and add 10+ photos of completed jobs."

📊

Score that reflects real customer behavior

The 0–100 score maps to how likely a local customer is to find and call you after asking an AI assistant. Strong (80+) means AI can confidently recommend you. At risk means you're invisible.

Common Questions

Questions about AI visibility

What is AI visibility for local businesses?
AI visibility is how well your business shows up when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for a local service — things like "best plumber near me" or "HVAC repair in [city]." Unlike traditional Google rankings, AI assistants pull from structured data, review sites, and content that directly answers questions. A business with good AI visibility gets mentioned and recommended. A business with poor AI visibility is invisible to those customers entirely.
Why does it matter if AI systems can recommend my business?
A growing share of local service searches now start with an AI assistant rather than a Google search box. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are increasingly the first stop for "who should I call for this?" If your business isn't optimized for AI recommendations, those customers go to a competitor who is. For trade businesses — plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, contractors — this can mean dozens of missed service calls per month.
What is the difference between SEO and AEO?
Traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on ranking in Google's blue-link results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on getting your business mentioned and recommended by AI-powered answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot. AEO requires clearer, more structured content, stronger local signals, and direct answers to the questions customers actually ask AI. The two strategies overlap significantly but AEO goes further in building AI-readable authority for your business.
How is the AI Visibility Score calculated?
The score (0–100) is based on your website's content, structure, and signals that AI assistants use when deciding who to recommend. Key factors include: whether your site clearly states your service area and specialties, structured data (LocalBusiness schema), Google Business Profile presence, review signals, clear contact and location information, content that directly answers common customer questions, and mobile usability. Strong (80+) means AI can confidently recommend you. At risk (below 40) means you're largely invisible.
What types of businesses benefit most from this tool?
This tool is built for local trade and service businesses: plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, roofers, general contractors, handymen, excavation companies, landscapers, pest control, and similar service providers. These businesses rely heavily on local search and word-of-mouth — and AI assistants are becoming a major new channel for exactly those referrals. If a homeowner asks ChatGPT "who does roofing repairs in [my city]," you want to be the answer.
Is the AI Visibility Check really free?
Yes. The instant check — score, grade, 2-sentence summary, and your single most important issue — is completely free with no account required. To see the full prioritized list of 4–6 issues with specific fixes for each, enter your email. That's the only requirement.
