60 usable homeowner answers in this one-day sample.

This directory also sells top-three placement, so its order is not independent selection, and a listing does not guarantee being named. Counts cover homeowner questions only; recommendations were not measured.

The gap is being recommended unprompted when a homeowner asks for help, not simply being recognized by name. These counts record naming in the captured answers, not a ranking or guaranteed recommendation.

This is a fictionalized sample of a real audit. The business identity is changed; the evidence and dates are retained. It is not a customer result.

Sample Heating & Air is not among the 25 businesses on this page, which we read in full, footer included. Your own site says you serve Mesa.

This directory also sells top-three placement, so its order is not independent selection, and a listing does not guarantee being named.

This does not prove why ChatGPT left the business out. These are dated observations, not a claim about the directory today.

1. Ask the directory for a correct, free Mesa listing; paid placement is a separate choice. Who controls it: the directory. How we check it: the listing is live, then we repeat the same ChatGPT questions.

   Owner input: confirm the towns you serve and the business details for the listing.

   Who controls it: The list publisher.

   How we check: The listing is live, and we repeat the same questions in the same towns.

No call, booking attempt, or form submission was made. Each audit contains at most three real findings; “no current repair opportunity” is also an honest result.
