Residential Contractors questions, answered
HomeAdvisor and Angi are loud. Do they hurt or help in AI?
Both. Marketplaces get AI mention but increasingly carry trust headwinds. Independent reputation and source-authority work outperforms marketplace-only strategy.
NARI / NAHB certifications, how does AI weight them?
Heavily. Credentialed contractors get disproportionate AI mention in moments where the homeowner signals quality care.
Multi-market residential firm, can we track each market?
Yes. Business plan covers 25 markets, Enterprise unlimited.
How does AI handle 'best contractor near me'?
Differently than Google. Proximity matters but is weighted alongside reputation, project-type fit, and review depth.
What about handyman vs. licensed GC moments?
AI is fluent in the distinction and routes by project scope, urgency, and budget.
How fast until new inquiries?
Median 4-8 weeks. Local-review-platform freshness and Reddit / Nextdoor presence move fastest.
