For home service companies
Homeowners ask ChatGPT for a roofer, plumber or HVAC company. Are you in the answer?
AI gives homeowners a short list of local contractors. TrackCited shows if you're on it, which competitors are, and the listings and reviews that would get you there.
A single roof or HVAC install is often a $10,000+ job. Plans start at $99/mo after a 14-day free trial.

Why this matters now
Customers already ask AI who to choose
of US consumers now use AI to find local businesses — up from 6% a year earlier.
Local businesses Google Maps showed in 66% of searches were named in only 33% of ChatGPT answers. Ranking on Maps doesn't mean AI recommends you.
chance an AI tool gives the same list of recommendations twice. One screenshot proves nothing — that's why TrackCited measures how often you're named across many answers, week after week.
What people ask AI
- › most reliable HVAC company in Tampa?
- › best roofer in Nashville for storm damage?
- › who's a trustworthy plumber in Columbus?
- › best solar installer near Phoenix?
Where AI looks
For home service companies, the engines lean on Google reviews, Angi, BBB, Nextdoor and Yelp. TrackCited shows exactly which pages they cite for your questions.
The kind of fixes you get
- Keep your Google Business Profile services and service area complete
- Ask for reviews that mention the job and the neighborhood
- Make sure Angi and BBB list every service you offer
Ways to check if AI recommends you
Asking once tells you what one answer said. A trend tells you where you stand.
| Way to check | What you learn | Asked more than once | Who's named instead | Over time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ask AI once yourself | What one answer said, one time | No — and answers change from one run to the next | Whoever that one answer names | No | Your time |
| A free one-time checker | A snapshot score or report from a single moment | One snapshot | Depends on the tool — our free check shows who is named instead | No | Free |
| Weekly tracking with TrackCited | Your mention rate and 0–100 score on the questions you choose, with your city in them | Each question up to 3 times per engine, every week | Yes — each competitor's mentions next to yours | Yes — a weekly trend, plus a fix list on Pro and Agency | From $99/mo after a 14-day trial, no card |

Questions from home service companies

When you sign up with your city, we suggest job-level questions with your city in them first — for Tampa, "Best HVAC repair company in Tampa?", "Who should I hire for a roof replacement in Tampa?" and "Best emergency plumber near Tampa?" — plus questions written from your website. You can also add questions asked near up to 5 neighborhoods or suburbs you serve and see your coverage by area.

Five actions a week — listings, content, technical, community and reviews — built from that week's answers and the pages AI cited. For home services they focus on Google Business Profile, Angi, BBB, Nextdoor and Yelp, a page for each high-value job such as AC repair or roof replacement, and HomeAndConstructionBusiness schema (or a subtype such as HVACBusiness or RoofingContractor). Fix lists come with Pro, Agency and the free trial.
Can I see which home service companies AI recommends instead of mine?+
Yes. TrackCited picks up the businesses AI names most often in your answers and tracks them as competitors — up to 2 on Starter and 5 on Pro — and you can add your own. For each one you see how often it was named compared with you.
Which AI assistants does TrackCited check?+
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, every week, with web search on. The free check uses ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini so it finishes in under a minute. Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot aren't covered yet.
