Free check · asks ChatGPT live, or Claude if it is unavailable

AI visibility checker for plumbers

A homeowner with water on the floor can ask ChatGPT who to call. Enter your company, your city and the job you want more of. We ask ChatGPT three homeowner questions and show who it tells them to call.

One job, in a homeowner’s words: "drain cleaning", "sewer line repair" or "tankless water heater install".

Asks ChatGPT (or Claude if ChatGPT is unavailable). Free, no account, about a minute. Add your website and a link to it counts too.

The questions the check will ask

  1. Who is the best emergency plumber in Tampa?
  2. Which plumber in Tampa do homeowners recommend for water heater replacement?
  3. How much does water heater replacement cost in Tampa, and who should I call?

ChatGPT (or Claude if ChatGPT is unavailable) searches the web for each answer. An answer to the same question is shared for 7 days.

Questions homeowners ask AI about plumbers

Plumbing questions come in two kinds. Urgent ones name an hour. Planned ones name a job and a price, and both decide who gets the call.

  • Who can fix a leaking pipe tonight in Tampa?
  • Which plumbers in Houston charge a flat rate instead of by the hour?
  • How much does it cost to replace a sewer line in Cleveland?
  • Is there a plumber in Louisville who works on older homes with cast iron pipes?
  • Who installs tankless water heaters in Salt Lake City?
  • Which plumber in Milwaukee answers on weekends without a big emergency fee?
  • Should I repair or replace a 12-year-old water heater, and who can look at it in Tulsa?
  • Which plumbing company in Jacksonville offers financing for repiping a house?

The check asks 3. On Growth, Rankli asks 50 of yours every week on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

What ChatGPT reads before it names a plumber

Ask ChatGPT for a plumber in a city and it searches the web. It reads company sites, home-service directories and reviews, and names the plumbers those pages describe for that exact job.

  • Emergency hours stated in words

    "24/7" in a banner image is invisible to a reader of text. A line saying you take burst-pipe calls overnight, and which areas you drive to after hours, is a fact ChatGPT can repeat.

  • The service area, town by town

    Homeowners name their suburb. List the towns and neighborhoods you cover, and what differs in each. Then ChatGPT can match you to a question from Brandon or Riverview, not only the city.

  • Job pages with a price range

    A water heater page that gives a price range and says what moves it answers "how much" with your name attached. A general "services" page gives ChatGPT nothing to quote on cost.

  • A license number and listings that agree

    Angi, Yelp and your Google Business Profile describe plumbers beside your own site. A license number, phone and address that match across all of them give ChatGPT one company to name.

The limits of a three-question check for a plumbing company

  • Answers move, and the plumber named today can drop off next week. Growth asks 50 homeowner questions each week and shows how often you are the name.
  • Urgent and planned jobs are different questions. You can win "water heater replacement" and still lose "plumber open now", so check each job you want.
  • Each question reaches ChatGPT through OpenAI’s API with web search on and no location. A homeowner in the ChatGPT app can share theirs, and a plumber closer to them can come up instead.
  • The check matches the company name and website you type. If your trucks say one name and your listings another, check both.

Frequently asked questions

Why does ChatGPT tell homeowners to call another plumber?

Its search found pages describing that plumber for the job, the hours and the town in the question. When your pages leave out any of the three, the answer has nothing on you to use. Rankli shows every homeowner question you lose, names the plumber who wins it, and writes the page that answers it.

Does ChatGPT read Angi and HomeAdvisor listings for plumbers?

It reads whatever pages its search returns and is allowed to fetch, and home-service directories can be among them. What those listings say should match your own site. Rankli shows the pages each answer links to, so you see which directories describe the plumbers who win.

Should a plumbing company publish its prices?

Publish a range for each job you want, and say what moves it: access, tank size, the age of the pipes. Homeowners ask "how much", and a page with a range can be quoted where "call for a quote" cannot. Rankli writes local cost guides like this from your services and city.

How does a plumber get named for middle-of-the-night emergencies?

Those questions name an hour, so your site has to name yours. Say when you answer, what an after-hours visit costs and where you go. Rankli also plans "what to do when" guides, such as what to do when a pipe bursts, for the urgent questions homeowners ask.

How much does the plumber check cost?

Nothing, and it asks for no account or email. The 7-day free trial runs the full version: up to 50 homeowner questions on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, with every one you are losing listed.
