For U.S. general contractors
Is ChatGPT recommending your company — or the one down the street?
In July 2026 we benchmarked 1,195 U.S. general contractors by asking ChatGPT the questions your homeowners ask. Only 33% were ever recommended. Everyone else was invisible — and their homeowners were sent to the companies that weren't.

Why this matters to your pipeline
45%
of homeowners now ask ChatGPT for recommendations before hiring.
33%
of U.S. general contractors ever get named when it answers. The rest don't exist to the homeowner asking.
Every metro page on this site lists the general contractors ChatGPT actually recommends. If your company is there, congratulations — that visibility is sending you homeowners right now, and it's worth defending. If it isn't, those homeowners are booking somewhere else, and nothing about the quality of your work will change that until AI can find you.
The good news: this isn't a big-budget game. The companies winning AI recommendations are independent local businesses with strong reviews, clear websites, and consistent local listings — things any company can fix.

How do I get my company on the list?
You can't pay us — no one can. The only way onto the list is to actually be recommended by ChatGPT when we run the next quarterly benchmark. The companies with strong reviews, a clear website, and consistent business listings are the ones AI keeps naming. The free check shows you where you stand today and what's holding you back.
I'm already on the list. What now?
First: it's real, and it's worth protecting — every edition re-measures from scratch, and rankings move. The companies that stay visible keep earning the homeowners who ask AI first. The free check works for you too: it shows whether your position is solid or slipping.
Is the free check really free?
Yes. It takes about 60 seconds, and you'll see how your business shows up in AI search — no credit card, no obligation. It's run by Fast Digital Marketing, the Tampa-based team behind this benchmark.
Why should I care what ChatGPT says?
Because your next homeowner is asking it. 45% of homeowners now ask ChatGPT for recommendations before hiring, and 41% of consumers trust AI recommendations for local services as much as a personal referral. When it answers, it names a handful of companies — and sends everyone else's homeowners to them.
One thing we'll never sell you: a spot on the list. Read how the rankings are measured — the same rules apply to everyone, including our own clients.
