Electrical

When a breaker keeps tripping, customers ask an AI assistant which electrician to call.

We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews the questions your customers ask, in your city, and show you whether your business is named, who else is named, and which sources the answers drew on.

The questions we ask

The twenty questions every electrician is measured on

We track 20 questions for each business. The 10 that ask for a recommendation are the ones your figure is built from. The rest ask how to choose and what things cost — and where those name a company, it is as an example rather than a recommendation. Counting them would change your figure without changing how often you are recommended.

02

Publish pages that answer your customers’ questions.

For electricians, 44% of the sources cited were businesses’ own websites.

03

Use one name everywhere.

AI assistants write a business’s name in many ways, and a consistent name is easier to recognize.

04

Measure across repeated answers.

The answer changes each time the question is asked, so a reliable reading takes many answers.
