Are you the contractor AI recommends? — free check | NamedLocal

AI visibility for local trades<br>Someone near you just asked an AI for a contractor. Were you on the list?

When a homeowner asks ChatGPT or Google's AI for the best HVAC company,<br>plumber, roofer, or electrician in their area, it answers with two or three names. If yours<br>isn't one of them, you don't get the call, and nothing tells you it happened.

AI assistant · example answer

"Best HVAC company near me in Boise?"

1 Western Heating & Air

2 Capital City Heating & Cooling

3 Diamond Heating & Cooling

— Your business not mentioned

Three names. The homeowner calls one. If it wasn't you, you never knew.

How it works

One check, in plain English

Step 1<br>We ask like a customer

"Best roofer in Dallas," "electrician near me" — the questions people actually type into AI.

Step 2<br>We read the answer

We look for your business in what the AI says, and note which companies it named instead.

Step 3<br>You get the fixes

The reasons you're missing and what to change first. The full report names the exact sources to fix and how.

Why it matters

A page of Google links gave every business a shot at the click. An AI answer names<br>two or three companies and stops. No ranking report, no drop in traffic you can see, no sign at<br>all that you were skipped.

A homeowner asks, gets three names, and calls one of<br>them. If it wasn't you, you never knew you were in the running. The check is the only way to find<br>out where you actually stand.

Who's behind this

A small shop, not a platform

NamedLocal is a small, independent operation, not a<br>national platform or a call center. I built the check because local businesses get skipped by AI<br>with no warning and no dashboard to catch it. If you have us handle the fixes, you get the work<br>done and a weekly re-check, with plain reporting and no lock-in. And if AI already names you,<br>I'll say so. I'm not going to sell you a problem you don't have.

Questions

Straight answers

Isn't my business already in there automatically?<br>Being known to the AI isn't the same as being recommended. It only names a couple of<br>companies per question and picks them on how clear and trusted your information is. Most<br>local businesses get left out. The check shows you exactly where you land.

Can you promise I'll be the one it recommends?<br>No, and anyone who promises that is selling you something. The answers aren't fixed. What<br>we do is measure where you stand, make the changes that improve your odds, and keep an eye<br>on it so you know when things move.

Which AI are you checking?<br>Right now we query Perplexity's live, web-grounded AI — the kind that searches the web and<br>names a few local companies, the same way the popular assistants do. It's a strong read on<br>where you stand. We're adding direct checks of more assistants over time. If you also give us<br>your website, we look at what your homepage actually exposes (structured details, Q&A<br>content) so the reasons we give you are real, not generic.

What does it cost?<br>The check is free. The full report — the exact sources naming your competitors instead of you,<br>the specific fixes, as a private page and PDF — is $29, one time. Most local businesses pay more<br>than that for a single lead.

What AI says changes over time, so each check is a snapshot of that moment. © 2026 NamedLocal.
