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?" They call whoever it names. Most roofers who win local search aren't in that answer at all, and they have no idea. Nobody told them, because nobody was counting.
No rank. No lead promises. A real number with the sample size attached.
- PUBLISHED METHOD The whole methodology is in the open.
- WE MEASURE OURSELVES Same system we'd point at you, pointed at us.

Ranking on Google and getting named by AI are two different jobs.
For twenty years the work was Google rankings. Keywords, backlinks, a Maps pin. That game still matters and we're not telling you to drop it. But an AI doesn't read a ranked list. It writes a fresh answer every time and names a handful of companies.
More than half of the businesses winning traditional local search don't appear in AI answers at all. Plenty of roofers sitting at the top of Google Maps assume that covers them. Then they measure, and the look on their face changes.
What we actually promise
One real number. Not a faucet.
How often, never rank
We ask the engines your real service-area questions, many times over, and report how often your name comes back, with the sample size next to it. "7 of 10 this week, up from 4." You can check that number yourself.
No invented lead counts
Homeowners don't call and say "ChatGPT sent me." The clean attribution data doesn't exist yet. Anyone handing you a precise count of AI leads is handing you a number they made up.
If a number's shaky, you don't get it
We check our fast measurements against what a real person sees in the actual app. When the two disagree, we dig in before we report anything. We'd rather say "pending" than ship you a confident number that's wrong.
The part most roofers don't expect
Your reviews are a gate, not a dial.
On Google Maps a 3.7-star roofer down the street still shows up. AI plays it differently. The evidence points to a rating floor. Drop below roughly 4 stars and you get left out of the answer no matter how good everything else is.
So if your rating sits under the floor, here's the straight version: no amount of optimization gets you named until that number comes up. We'll tell you that to your face instead of taking your money and tinkering around the edges. Some weeks the first real job is your reviews, and that's the job we'll point you at.

Want to know how often AI names you right now?
The audit points the same measurement system at your business. You get how often you show up across the major engines for your real service-area queries, where your reviews stand against the floor, and which technical basics are quietly keeping you out of the answer.
