market.

[ 02 · AI shift ]

AI is
already
naming names.

When a Petaluma resident asks ChatGPT for the best hvac contractor, the model names 2–3 businesses. Not 10. Not a directory. A short, specific list of recommendations.

AI assistants increasingly handle HVAC diagnosis queries before recommending a contractor. You have to be the contractor the model names after it explains what's wrong.

Why most Petaluma hvac contractors are invisible: they've never run a single test prompt against the AIs that now drive 25% of their category's traffic.
