When a Homeowner Asks AI About Solar, Does Your Company Come Up?
Homeowners are asking ChatGPT and Google AI which solar installers to call. We audited what comes back, and most companies are either missing or misrepresented. NABCEP certification, panel brands, service areas, AI gets it wrong more often than you'd think.

What We Audit and Correct for Solar Companies
More homeowners find you when they ask AI who to call. We surface the credentials, service areas, and specializations that turn AI answers into installs.
- License & Certification Visibility
- NABCEP certification, electrical license, state contractor license, these matter to homeowners. We check whether AI systems can find them and display them accurately, or whether they're missing entirely.
- Service Area Optimization
- If you serve 5 states, we audit all 5. AI systems often limit you to one or confuse your service area entirely. We build a data layer that maps every area you cover.
- Specialization Highlighting
- Residential? Commercial? Battery storage, EV charging, ground mount? AI systems frequently lump all solar installers together. We make your actual specializations machine-readable.
- Multi-Provider Tracking
- We measure your mention rate and visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI, tracked over time so you can see what's improving and where you're still invisible.
- Review & Rating Integration
- Your Google, Yelp, and BBB reviews exist, but can AI systems find and reference them? We connect that reputation data into your data layer so AI has the full picture.
- Manufacturer Partnership Visibility
- Tesla Powerwall certified? Enphase authorized? SunPower dealer? AI systems rarely know. We build these partnerships into your data layer so AI can reference your manufacturer relationships when recommending installers.
When a homeowner asks AI who to call...
These are real questions homeowners type into AI before they ever call a contractor.
Your competitors are in the answer. You're not.
AI doesn't have the right information about your business, or has the wrong information entirely, so it recommends someone else.
How It Works
- 1. AI Visibility Audit
-
We query 4 major AI systems with the same questions homeowners ask, "Recommend a trusted solar installer in [your city/state]?", and measure what comes back. Does AI know you exist? Is the information accurate? You get a visibility score and a provider-by-provider breakdown.
- 2. Correct
-
We build a machine-readable version of your business information, who you are, what you do, where you work, using the same standards that power Google, Microsoft, and Apple. This gives AI systems clean, accurate data to draw from, so it recommends you instead of a competitor.
- 3. Monitor
-
We re-measure your AI mention rate and visibility every month across all providers. You see a transparent report: where you started, where you are now, and what changed. Your baseline. Your trend. Measured against yourself.
Built on Industry Standards AI Systems Trust
Under the hood, we use the same structured data formats that power Google, Microsoft, and Apple, so AI systems can verify your business information instead of guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI visibility
What industries do you work with?
Right now we work with solar installers, HVAC contractors, and roofing companies. Our approach adapts to any local service business, so more industries are launching soon.
Isn't this just SEO?
No. SEO helps you rank on Google. We focus on a different question entirely: what does ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Google AI actually say when someone asks for a recommendation in your industry. Both matter, but one doesn't replace the other.
How is this different for my industry vs. others?
The basics are the same for everyone: business info, credentials, service area. But we tailor what we verify and correct to your industry's specific licenses, certifications, and the details AI systems care about for that trade.
Can't I just do this myself?
Technically yes, if you understand how AI systems read and verify business information and have the time to build, monitor, and keep it updated. Most business owners would rather run their business.
What about license verification?
We link to your state licensing board and verify your national and state-level certifications, so AI systems can confirm you're licensed instead of guessing or leaving it out.
How long does it take to see results?
You'll get your first report within 48 hours, showing where you stand today across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI. Real improvement usually takes 2-3 months to show up clearly. Some businesses see movement sooner, but we care about a lasting trend, not a one-time bump.
What if my AI visibility doesn't improve?
Then you cancel, anytime, no contract to break. Success is simple: is your AI mention rate improving compared to your own baseline? If the trend isn't moving after a few months, this isn't working for you, and you shouldn't keep paying for it.
How is this different from what my marketing company does?
Your marketing company focuses on Google rankings, ads, or generating leads. We focus on something different: what happens when someone asks ChatGPT, Google AI, or Perplexity to recommend a business like yours. Most marketing companies can't tell you whether ChatGPT even mentions you. We can, we just checked. Keep your marketing company for Google. Add us for the AI channel.
