The verdict
AI prefers Radiant Plumbing when customers ask.
You appeared in 3/10 prompts. AI is sending most of these customers to your competitors.
Industry benchmark
You're one of the first Plumber audits we've run
We need a handful more audits in this category before we can show a fair peer comparison.
Score trend
Re-audits are free every 14 days. Your next free run is available May 19, 2026 — your trajectory will appear here once it completes.
Real prompts across the major AI engines, plus direct site checks.
Every audit runs your business through two real data sources: (1) live AI engines — Perplexity Sonar on the free preview, and Perplexity + ChatGPT + Gemini on paid reports — using a battery of buyer-intent prompts tuned to your detected sub-category and city; and (2) direct fetches of your robots.txt, homepage JSON-LD, and sitemap.xml. We don't query Google AI Overviews directly today (that requires SerpAPI scraping, which is on our roadmap). Competitors named in the answers are then independently verified to be real, in-category, and within ~25km of your city. Unverified names are dropped.
Accuracy note: AI answers shift daily as models and indexes update. Scores reflect what the engines were returning at the moment of audit — which is exactly why Monitor exists, to track movement over time.
Fix the 4 issues we found and your score could climb to 73.

These are the domains Perplexity Sonar returned as grounded web sources during your prompt sweep.
