Ask ChatGPT for a contractor in your city. It names someone. Is it you?
Homeowners are asking ChatGPT who to call. ChatGPT also sells ads now, and you can aim them at your city or ZIP code. We get your business named in the answers and run a measured ad test in your market, so you know whether it pays before you put real money behind it.
For HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, and other home service companies in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee.
We Checked 18 Lexington Contractors. 10 Never Came Up.
We audited 18 home service businesses in our own town and looked at who ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend. Ten of the eighteen were never named by either one.
10 of 18
Lexington home service businesses we audited that ChatGPT and Perplexity never named.
The answer is short
Google gives a page of results. ChatGPT gives a few names. If yours isn't one of them, that customer never hears about you.
Good work isn't enough
AI tools recommend the businesses they can find clear, consistent information about. A great reputation the AI can't read doesn't count.
Get Named for Free. Then Test Paying for It.
There are two ways to show up when someone asks ChatGPT for your trade. We work both.
Organic: get named in the answer
We fix what AI tools read about you: your Google Business Profile, your name, address, and phone matching everywhere they show up online, your reviews, and your website's service pages. The goal is simple. When ChatGPT or Perplexity goes looking for a plumber in your town, it finds solid information about you.
Paid: ChatGPT Ads in your market
Since May 2026, US businesses can buy ads inside ChatGPT through OpenAI's own Ads Manager. You can target a city, a market, or ZIP codes where OpenAI supports them. We set the campaign up, track the calls and form fills it brings in, and tell you straight whether it's working.

What We Can Promise, and What We Can't
ChatGPT Ads are new. You should hear the limits from us before you spend a dollar.
It's a beta platform
OpenAI's Ads Manager is still in beta. Features change month to month, and there isn't much public data yet on what a click costs a plumber in Ohio. We'll learn your market with you, on a small budget first.
Not everyone sees ads
ChatGPT shows ads only to people on its Free and Go plans. People paying for Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise don't see them. That's still a lot of people, but it isn't everyone.
We sell a test, not a lead count
Anyone promising you a set number of leads from ChatGPT Ads right now is guessing. We agree up front on what counts, like calls, form fills, and booked jobs you tell us about. Then we track it and report what actually happened.
Small towns can mean small numbers
If your service area is small, the ad volume may be too. We'll tell you that when we send your snapshot, not after you've spent money. Sometimes the organic fixes are all you need.
Your clients are asking about ChatGPT. We can do the work under your name.
If you run marketing for home service companies and your clients keep asking "are we showing up in ChatGPT?", we'll handle the fulfillment white-label. You keep the client and the relationship. We stay behind the curtain.
- ✓AI Visibility Snapshots with your branding
- ✓Campaign setup in each client's own ad account, the way OpenAI expects
- ✓Landing pages, tracking, and monthly reports you can send as your own
- ✓Per-account pricing, quoted once we know the size of your book
Fair Questions
Is ChatGPT really showing ads?
Yes. OpenAI opened self-serve ChatGPT ads to US businesses in May 2026. The ads show up for people on ChatGPT's Free and Go plans. People paying for Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise don't see them.
Who owns the ad account?
You do. OpenAI expects a separate account for each business, so you open it with your business details and your card, then invite us in to run it. If you ever stop working with us, the account, the campaigns, and the history stay with you. OpenAI bills you directly for ad spend and we never mark it up.
What does it cost to run?
There are two separate costs. Your ad spend goes straight to OpenAI and you pick the budget. OpenAI's minimum campaign budget is $25 a day, averaged over the week, so one day can run a little higher than another. Our fee for the pilot is one fixed price, and we quote it after your free snapshot so it fits your market.
Can it target just my city?
Yes. Besides country and state, OpenAI lets you target cities, markets, and ZIP codes where they're supported. We set the targeting to the area your trucks actually cover, so you aren't paying for clicks two states away.
How is this different from Google Ads or SEO?
Google shows a page of results and the customer picks. ChatGPT gives a short answer and often names only a handful of businesses. Getting named overlaps with good SEO and a solid Google Business Profile, and we build on what you already have. ChatGPT Ads are their own channel: OpenAI matches ads to the conversation using topic hints instead of exact keywords. Keep your Google spend. This is a test of a new channel, not a replacement.
Do you work outside Kentucky?
Yes. We're based in Lexington and work with home service companies across Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee. The work is remote, so if you're somewhere else in the US, ask. The snapshot works for any US city.
