How Local Service Businesses Show Up in AI Recommendations
Be the top-cited provider when customers ask AI for local help.
The Problem
Users now ask AI:
- “Who’s the best plumber near me?”
- “Top HVAC companies in my city”
instead of scrolling Google results. AI recommendations often show one or two providers. If you’re not included, you don’t exist.
