The AI Recommendation Index

More people now ask an AI assistant which local professional to use. Each month we ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude the same questions, city by city, and publish who they name.

Why this matters

When an AI assistant answers "who's good near me?", it names a handful of businesses and skips everyone else. Those answers differ from one assistant to the next and change over time. This index shows, with dates, who gets named and how often the assistants agree.

How we did it

  • On October 30, 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, through their own APIs with web search on and the location set to each city, the same questions a home buyer might ask (listed on each page).
  • 225 answers in 25 US cities. We pulled out every name each answer gave and merged spelling variants of the same name (for example with and without "Inc."). Everything else is as the AIs gave it.
  • To check the answers weren't luck, we asked the same questions again a few hours later. Names marked "Confirmed" were named by the same assistants both times; everything else on the page is from the first test.
  • We haven't checked the names, or anything the AIs said about them. AI assistants get things wrong, and their answers change, so this is a snapshot, not a ranking of who is best.
  • Nobody pays to be on these lists. We repeat the test every month.
