We read the highest-reviewed HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical and landscaping websites in 100 US cities — 1,842 market-leading sites in total — the way Google and an AI assistant read them. 988 of them (54%) have no llms.txt: no file telling ChatGPT or Google’s AI what the business does or where it works. These are the companies already winning their local map pack. Pick your city below to see the numbers for your trade.

Every figure is measured, not estimated. Competitor sets come from the Google Places API; the website checks are run by our own scanner against each company’s live homepage. Where a site would not load we excluded it rather than guess.
