What decides whether AI names you

Your score is built from four plain things — the same four we check every week.

1

Whether you come up at all

When someone asks for a recommendation, does your name appear — or only your competitors'?

2

Where you land in the answer

Being named third after two others is very different from being the first name AI offers.

3

How you're described

AI repeats the words it reads about you — “gentle,” “reliable,” “pricey.” Those words move buyers.

4

How strongly you're recommended

There's a gap between being listed as an option and being the one AI tells people to call.
