When customers ask AI who to hire, whose name comes back?
Ask ChatGPT for the best roofer in Silver Spring and it names five companies — ratings, review counts, a license number, and the one it said it’d contact. Three real answers are below, captured September 18, 2026. The report shows you what it says about you.

This work has two names. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) both mean the same thing: being the business an AI engine names when a customer asks it who to hire. The report is the first step — it shows what the engines say about you today, before anyone changes anything.

Straight answers
The questions a skeptic should ask.
Can you guarantee AI recommends me?
No — and you should distrust anyone who says yes. Nobody controls what these engines answer. What we do is show you exactly what they say today, then fix the published signals they cite — the reviews, profiles, and records named in the receipts above. Ongoing fixes with monthly re-runs are a bigger engagement than the report; the re-runs show whether the answers move.
Why do answers vary?
Because these engines are probabilistic — the same question can return different names on different runs. That’s why one screenshot proves little and 25 timestamped questions show a pattern.
Who runs this?
Agents draft the questions and capture the answers; a human reviews everything before it reaches you.
