Does AI recommend your company?
When a homeowner asks Google or ChatGPT who to call, an answer comes back with names in it. We ran that test across twelve DFW cities to find out whose names.
0of 12 cities
The HVAC company with the most Google reviews in the entire study, 24,600 of them, was recommended zero times. It showed up in the paid strip underneath in all twelve.
Run September 10, 2026 on Google AI Mode. One question, held constant, in twelve DFW cities: who is the best HVAC company in [city] TX. Method below.
What you get back
- 1The listEvery company AI names when someone asks about your trade in your city.
- 2Your positionWhether you are in that list, and where you sit in it.
- 3The gapWhat the companies ahead of you are saying that you are not. This is usually one sentence, and it is usually fixable.
Why we do this free
Because the result starts a conversation more honestly than a sales call does. Sometimes it says you are fine. When it does, we tell you that and you owe us nothing. No pitch deck either way.
The question
One question, worded the same way in every market, asked the way a homeowner would actually ask it.
What we count
Only what the AI says on its own. Companies that appear in the paid strip underneath are logged separately and never counted as recommendations.
What we publish
The full method, every time, so anyone can re-run it and check our work. If your numbers come out different from ours, we want to hear about it.
