Answer Engine Optimization · for roofers
You're #1 on Google Maps.
ChatGPT has never heard of you.
More homeowners every month skip Google and just ask an AI: "who's the best roofer near me?" Then they call whoever it names. Most roofers who win local search are nowhere in that answer. The gap is invisible until someone measures it.
No rank. No lead promises. A real number with the sample size attached.
Ranking on Google and getting recommended by AI are not the same job.
For twenty years the work was Google rankings — keywords, backlinks, a Maps pin. That game still matters. But an AI doesn't read a ranked list. It writes a fresh answer every time, and names only a handful of companies.
More than half of the businesses winning traditional local search are absent from AI recommendations. Plenty of roofers at the top of Google Maps assume that means they're covered. They measure, and they're surprised.
What we actually promise
One real number. Not a faucet.
Frequency, never rank
We ask the engines your real service-area questions, many times, and report how often you show up — with the sample size. "7 of 10 this week, up from 4." That's measurable.
No invented lead counts
Homeowners don't tell you "ChatGPT sent me." The clean AI-lead attribution data doesn't exist yet. Anyone selling you a precise number is selling you a number that isn't real.
If a number's shaky, you don't get it
We cross-check our fast measurements against what a real person sees in the app. When they disagree, we investigate before we report. Absence beats false confidence.
The part most roofers don't expect
Your reviews are a gate, not a dial.
For Google Maps, a 3.7-star roofer nearby still shows up. AI is different. The evidence points to a rating floor — below roughly 4 stars, you're essentially left out of recommendations no matter what else you do.
So if your rating is under the floor, the honest answer is that no amount of optimization gets you reliably recommended until that comes up first. We'll tell you that directly rather than take your money and work the edges. Sometimes the first real job is your reviews.

The audit points the same measurement system at your business: your inclusion frequency across the major engines for your real service-area queries, your review standing against the floor, and the technical fundamentals that might be making you invisible.
