Industry Data
The Problem
AI Recommending Marketplaces Over Local Pros
Homeowners ask ChatGPT 'best plumber near me' or 'HVAC repair' and AI recommends Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack instead of your local business.
Lead Generation Costs Skyrocketing
Home service companies pay $50-$200+ per lead through marketplace platforms. AI-referred customers cost a fraction and convert at higher rates.
Emergency Queries Going to Competitors
When a pipe bursts or AC fails, homeowners increasingly ask AI for immediate recommendations. If you're not AI-visible, emergency calls go to competitors.
