Brief

@homeservicebase tested ChatGPT recommendations and found ~70% of AI citations go to company websites (20% to directories, 10% to other sources), implying website content strongly affects AI visibility. The upcoming "AI Market Overview" in Home Service Base will aggregate AI citations by market, show top-visible companies and their dominant intent categories (Best/Top, Comparison, Cost, Near Me, Reviews, Emergency), and deliver actionable insights without requiring prompt engineering.

Why it matters

~70% of citations in ChatGPT/AI responses tested by @homeservicebase point directly to home service company websites, ~20% to directories, and ~10% to other sources.

Key details

  • @homeservicebase is adding an "AI Market Overview" to Home Service Base that aggregates AI citations by industry/market, identifies which companies get the most visibility and the intent categories they dominate, and provides actionable recommendations using default high‑intent prompts (Best/Top, Comparison, Cost, Near Me, Reviews, Emergency) so no prompt engineering is required.
Cleaned source text

I've been testing how ChatGPT recommends home service businesses, and one thing surprised me:

~70% of citations in AI responses go directly to home service company websites. Only ~20% go to directories, and around ~10% to everything else.

That means your website content likely has a much bigger impact on AI visibility than many people think.

To better understand what drives AI rankings, I decided to add AI Market Overview to the next major Home Service Base update.

For your specific industry and market, it will aggregate AI citations, show which companies get the most visibility, which intent categories they dominate, and why.

– Best / Top

– Comparison

– Cost

– Near Me

– Reviews

– Emergency

So no prompt engineering is required. Just click and instantly see your AI market landscape, with actionable insights and recommendations.
