Claim Your AI Visibility Score in 90 Seconds
TL;DR
Go to mentionedinai.com and run the free audit. You'll get a score from 0–100 showing how visible your business is to AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini). The audit takes 90 seconds and requires only your business name and location. Your score tells you exactly where you stand vs. competitors and vs. the median contractor in your trade.
Why This Matters
AI search is not SEO. Google shows you websites. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini show homeowners the names of actual businesses that solve their problem. When someone asks Perplexity "best HVAC in Phoenix" or "find me a plumber in Baltimore," they're not clicking links—they're reading the AI's ranked list of companies.
We audited 137 contractors across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing. Median visibility score: 32 out of 100. The top contractors (Cape Cod Cooling, Mr Electric) scored 68–79. That's a 47-point gap. Almost all of it comes down to mechanics (schema, citations, structured local data) that cost nothing to fix and everything to ignore.
The contractors getting named by AI are the ones homeowners trust first. Your visibility score is a direct measure of how often that's happening for you.
How to Get Your Score
- Go to mentionedinai.com and look for the "Get Your Score" button. You'll see it above the fold.
- Enter your business name and city. That's it. Two fields. No email required to see your score.
- Wait 90 seconds. The audit runs 30 queries on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. It checks whether your business gets mentioned, in what position, and how often.
- Get your score. You'll see your visibility number (0–100) plus a breakdown: where you rank vs. the median in your city, trade, and nationwide. You'll also see a list of which AI engines mention you and which don't.
What Your Score Reveals
Your score breaks down into four ranges:
- 0–35 (Invisible): You're not getting named by AI. This is where 75% of contractors sit. Fix it, and you own an unfair advantage in your market.
- 36–55 (Partially Visible): You're showing up on some queries, some engines. Inconsistent. Good news: you're closer to the win zone than most.
- 56–75 (Visible): You're named regularly. Homeowners see your business. You're in the top 20% of your trade.
- 76–100 (Dominant): You're the first name AI mentions. You own your market in AI search.
The score also shows which AI engines know about you. One contractor might rank well on Perplexity but be invisible on ChatGPT. The audit tells you which gaps to fix first.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake 1: Thinking your Google ranking is your AI score. You can own the Google map pack and be completely invisible to ChatGPT. The data sources are different. AI engines pull from different signals than Google.
Mistake 2: Waiting for an email report. The free audit shows you everything right away. You don't need to wait for someone to email you later. You see your score in 90 seconds.
Mistake 3: Only checking once. Your AI visibility changes as you add citations, update your Google Business Profile, add schema markup, and improve your local content. Check again every 6–12 weeks to track progress.
Mistake 4: Assuming you're ranked too low to matter. Even if your score is 25, you're in good company—that's near the median. The 47-point gap between median and top performers didn't happen by accident. It happened because winners fixed the mechanics. You can too.
Why Mentioned
We built this audit because we saw a blind spot: contractors obsess over Google rank but don't know they're invisible to the AI search engines their customers are actually using. The free 90-second audit solves that blind spot.
If you want to fix your score and own your trade in AI search, we've also built tools and a founder cohort. The cohort closes July 4 and includes monthly reporting, strategy sessions, and direct access to the research data behind this index. But the free audit stands alone. Run it, see your score, and decide what comes next.

Common questions about AI visibility for general contractors in
Google ranks pages. AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity name specific businesses in answers. A general contractor in can rank #1 on Google and still be invisible in ChatGPT, because the signals are different (schema, citations, structured data, training-data presence).
Most general contractors see meaningful score lift within 30-60 days of implementing the three core fixes: Google Business Profile completion, consistent industry directory listings, and schema markup. The 47-point gap between median (32) and top performers (79) is closeable.
Yes. Roughly 40% of homeowner searches now start in ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of Google. Even with strong Google rankings, you can be completely invisible in AI answers, which means losing calls you don't even know about.
