How discoverable your business is when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Bing Copilot for recommendations.
ChatGPT now mentions your business when users ask "best emergency plumber in Chicago." Last month you were not appearing at all. This was driven by your improved directory consistency and new blog content.
Your citation score is 13/20 โ you're listed on 22 directories but 3 still have your old phone number. Bing Copilot does not mention you at all yet. Publishing 2 more FAQ-style blog posts targeting "how to" queries will help.
Your search engine rankings, keyword performance, and what to focus on next.

What your competitors are doing with their ads and where you can take advantage.
| Competitor | Active Ads | Platforms | What They're Doing |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABC Plumbing Co. | 12 | Meta, Google | Running 8 Meta ads targeting "plumber near me" โ heavy spend on Facebook feed |
| QuickFlow Services | 8 | Google only | Bidding aggressively on "emergency plumber" โ no social ads at all |
| Reliable Rooter Inc. | 5 | Meta | Paused Google Ads 3 weeks ago โ likely budget issues |
ABC Plumbing has not run a single ad on Instagram Reels in 47 days. Their audience is sitting completely open. A $600 test budget this week could capture that demand before they come back.
QuickFlow Services has zero social media presence โ no Facebook, no Instagram. You could dominate Meta for all overlapping service keywords with minimal spend. They're relying entirely on Google Ads.
Reliable Rooter stopped Google Ads 3 weeks ago and hasn't resumed. Their search traffic will drop โ this is your window to capture their customers searching Google for the same services.
How your ad spend is performing and exactly where to move your budget.
$2,847 of your Meta budget went to an audience segment (Males 55-64, Suburbs) that has not converted a single customer in 61 days. That's 67% of your Meta spend going to zero results.
Shift that $2,847 to your top-performing Google Search campaign ("emergency plumber" keywords). Based on current conversion rates, this would generate approximately 23 additional leads this month โ without spending a dollar more.
Your Google Ads "emergency plumber chicago" campaign has a $14.20 cost-per-lead โ 37% better than your account average. Your Meta retargeting campaign (people who visited your site) converts at 3.2x the rate of cold audiences. Double down on both.
