A great reputation doesn't always show up in an AI answer. We show you who's getting named, where you're missing, and what to work on first.

The test
Real questions.
Clear answers.
Ten real questions
"Who's the best HVAC company in Greenville?" "My AC quit tonight — who do I call?" "Is [your company] any good?" Ten questions a homeowner in your city actually types.
Three AI engines
Each question goes to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI. That's 30 answers. We screenshot every one and write down every company that gets named.
One page, no fluff
Your score, who got named instead, and the three gaps that explain it. If you're already winning, we tell you that too and you owe us nothing.
is 5W Public Relations' estimated share of independent HVAC and plumbing contractors with little or no AI citation visibility in their local market.
5W's HVAC & Plumbing AI Visibility Index 2026, April 2026. Third-party estimate, not a result from Named First's 30-answer test.
five-star reviews: 5W describes an independent plumber with less AI visibility than a franchise location with 50 reviews.
Example described in the same 5W report, not a Named First case study. Your own report measures your business separately.
Why AI skips you
Good businesses get missed.
Here's where the gaps are.
The 2026 research on what AI engines cite keeps pointing at the same three gaps.
Your listings don't match
Your name, address, phone and hours are slightly different on Google, Yelp, BBB, Angi and Nextdoor — or half of them are missing. To an AI, that looks like three different companies, none of them trustworthy.
The fix: one exact identity, everywhere the AI looks.
Your website can't be read by a machine
No page that plainly answers "what do you do, where, how fast, what does it cost, who's the owner." No structured data telling the AI you're a plumber in Simpsonville, South Carolina, not Simpsonville, Kentucky.
The fix: one plain-answer page plus the code the AI reads.
Nobody else mentions you
The AI trusts what other sites say about you more than what you say about yourself. Franchises are on supplier locators, trade associations, news and community threads. You're on your own site and a truck.
The fix: real third-party mentions, earned the honest way.

Straight answers
Questions contractors ask us
Can you guarantee I'll show up in ChatGPT?
No. We don't control AI answers and can't guarantee placement, leads or revenue. Our commitment is to complete the agreed checklist, re-test on day 30 and show you the before and after with dated screenshots, including when your score hasn't improved.
I already pay someone for SEO and Google ads. Isn't this the same thing?
There is overlap. Named First focuses on checking whether AI answers name your business, improving your listings and website information, and measuring again. We can coordinate with your existing provider to avoid duplicating work. The free report helps you decide whether this adds value.
Do you need my passwords?
Never. You add us as a manager on your Google Business Profile and give us editor access to your website. You can remove us in one click, and everything we built stays yours.
What if the free report says I'm already doing fine?
Then we tell you that, and you owe us nothing. You can keep the report without buying a Sprint or monthly plan.
Do I have to sign a contract?
The Sprint is one payment, one time. Stay Named is month to month; cancel by email with 30 days' notice. The whole service agreement is one page of plain English.
