AI Visibility Report · Sample
5 of 9 AI engines recognized Cedar Ridge Plumbing & Heating. The weakest area is Recommendation Pull (31/100).
Priority: Act this quarterExecutive Summary
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are now a primary discovery channel, and consumers ask them for recommendations every day. Today, Cedar Ridge Plumbing & Heating is inconsistently represented across the nine engines we audited.
The single biggest gap is Recommendation Pull (31/100): engines don't suggest you on "best" and "recommend" queries. Closing this gap should be your top priority.
If you do three things: standardize your name, address, phone and hours everywhere; publish a clear services and service area page with your founding year; and earn a dozen fresh, location specific reviews. Those alone should move Presence, Accuracy, and Recommendation Pull within 30 to 60 days.

Your Action Plan
Specific moves, sequenced. The quick wins are mostly free and can be done this month to lift Presence and fix the false claims the engines are repeating. The strategic plays build the cited authority that compounds over the next quarter.
Publish a verified facts page for Cedar Ridge Plumbing & Heating stating the 2011 founding year and the Asheville address in plain text, so Gemini and Grok have an authoritative correction to cite instead of the 1998 and Hendersonville claims.
List your plumbing and HVAC services explicitly, and omit septic pumping and well drilling, so engines stop inventing service lines that generate unqualified calls.
Make the NAP identical across your website footer, Google Business Profile, Yelp, Angi and BBB, the four sources the engines cited most for Asheville plumbing.
Fill every field: services, service area, hours, photos, and category, so engines that lean on local data describe Cedar Ridge correctly rather than guessing at company size.
Ask recent customers to name the specific service (water heater replacement, heat pump service) and the neighborhood. That review text is what feeds engine sentiment and recommendation behavior.
Publish real technician names and license numbers so engines cite verifiable credentials instead of attributing a Master Plumber certification to a person who does not work there.
Structured data on cedarridgeplumbing.com gives engines machine readable facts (founding year, service area, services, hours) to prefer over guesses.
Engines answer "vs" and "best" queries from comparison content, so own that page for Cedar Ridge rather than leaving the framing to directories.
Dedicated pages for Asheville, Black Mountain, Weaverville and Arden give engines a specific page to cite on local intent queries, which is where your Recommendation Pull is weakest.
Local press, the regional builders association, and a complete Wikidata entry give engines sources they weight above Yelp for plumbing and HVAC.
Emergency response time, financing, permit handling, and heat pump versus furnace guidance. FAQ content is disproportionately quoted by AI engines.
Engines rewrite their answers continuously. Re-running this exact query set on a schedule verifies the corrections landed and catches the next competitor displacement early.

Methodology
OmniGEO queried nine frontier AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, and Nemotron) across a structured battery of brand, category, recommendation, comparison, and reputation prompts. Every engine is reached live through a single unified gateway at scan time, with web grounding enabled on the engines that support it, so the answers are what buyers see. Each response was independently graded against verified ground truth for recognition, factual accuracy, sentiment, citation behavior, competitive displacement, and recommendation pull. Scores are normalized 0 to 100 and weighted into the composite AI Visibility Score: Presence 25%, Accuracy 25%, Recommendation Pull 15%, Sentiment 15%, Citations 10%, Competitive 10%. Only valid engine responses count toward the math, so a slow engine never drags a score down unfairly. This sample: 81 valid engine responses across 10 buyer questions.
