1. Paste this schema on your homepage

Add this JSON-LD inside your site head tag (or via your CMS schema field). It tells every AI engine exactly what Rooter-Man does and where. Replace the YOUR-DOMAIN, phone, and review-count placeholders, then validate at Google Rich Results Test.

<script type="application/ld+json">

2. Get listed on the sources AI actually reads

The first block is where the engines looked when answering about you. Fix those first - same name, address, phone everywhere. Then work the universal backbone.

Universal citation backbone
Google Business Profile · google.com/business
The #1 source every AI engine reads. Claim, verify, fill 100 percent.
Yelp · biz.yelp.com
Heavily cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity for local recommendations.
Bing Places · bingplaces.com
Feeds Copilot and is read by Perplexity. Most contractors skip it.
Apple Business Connect · businessconnect.apple.com
Powers Siri and is increasingly cited.
Better Business Bureau · bbb.org
High-trust signal AI engines weight heavily.
Angi · angi.com
Trade-intent directory engines pull from for who-to-call queries.
Facebook Business Page · facebook.com/business
Cited for reviews and service confirmation.
Nextdoor · business.nextdoor.com
Hyperlocal recommendations engines increasingly surface.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Claim PHCC directory listing and link it ASAP
+9 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% with 9 queries, claiming this listing will start generating citations immediately.
Do this: Go to PHCC’s website, fill out the necessary forms, and link to your profile from your site’s footer. Expect to spend two hours on this and gain important credibility in the plumbing community.
2. Add Plumber schema to your homepage today
+7 pts
Why: Structured data health is at 10.0%, and proper schema helps AI engines categorize your business correctly.
Do this: Use Google’s structured data markup tool to create schema code for your homepage, including service area and price range. This will take about two hours and significantly boost your search visibility.
3. Get 5 reviews mentioning emergency plumbing this month
+12 pts
Why: Your visibility is poor with a competitive position of 19.4%, positive reviews will help against competitors like Billerica Plumbing & Heating and Spencer Home Services.
Do this: Send out emails to existing customers asking for reviews focusing on emergency plumbing. Use Google My Business for the requests. Allow a week for responses, expect increased online presence by next month.
4. List specific service categories in your schema
+8 pts
Why: Missing specific service categories leads to 0 citations across 9 queries which limits visibility for common plumbing searches.
Do this: Update your structured data to include categories like drain cleaning, water heater repair, and repiping. Use Google's structured data testing tool to validate changes. Plan for about two hours to make these adjustments.
5. Add 24/7 emergency response markup to homepage
+3 pts
Why: Your structured data health at 10% indicates a lack of crucial service information which can help capture emergency plumbing searches.
Do this: Implement openingHoursSpecification for 24/7 service in your schema markup. Use Google’s structured data tool to complete this. Expect it to take around an hour to validate and deploy.
6. Get citations on Angi and Yelp now
+4 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0, which stops you from being visible despite searches happening; Angi and Yelp are significant directories for plumbing.
Do this: Create business profiles on Angi and Yelp, ensuring NAP consistency. This could take about three hours to set up and should start bringing in citations this month.
7. Check for NAP mismatches across directories
+3 pts
Why: Your citation accuracy is at 0.0%, and discrepancies hurt your trust with search engines and customers.
Do this: Audit your NAP details using a tool like Moz Local. Identify mismatches with competitors and correct them. Set aside two hours for this audit and corrections.
