Asked about you directly

What AI says about Ridgeline Plumbing

WHAT IT KNOWS

Asked directly, the assistant found Ridgeline Plumbing's website and a 4.6-star rating, but listed Saturday hours that don't match the site and couldn't confirm emergency service.

WHAT IT GETS WRONG OR MISSES
  • Says you're closed on Saturdays; your website says 8am to 2pm.
  • Doesn't know you offer 24/7 emergency service.
  • Mentions 38 reviews; your top competitor has over 400.

1. Unblock the AI crawlers

Your robots.txt blocks GPTBot and ClaudeBot, so two of the four assistants can't read your site at all.

Remove the Disallow lines for GPTBot, ClaudeBot and OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt. Ask your web person; it's a two-line change.

2. Close the review gap

Every assistant named Lone Oak Rooter, which has about 10× your review count.

Text every customer from the last 90 days a direct review link the day after the job. Ask everyone, not just happy customers. Reply to every review within 48 hours.

3. Fix your hours everywhere

AI says you're closed Saturdays, which sends weekend emergencies elsewhere.

Update Saturday hours and add 24/7 emergency service in Google Business Profile, Yelp, Bing Places and Apple Business Connect.

5. Add LocalBusiness schema and an FAQ

Paste the schema below into your site's head and publish the FAQ section on your homepage.

6. Get into two local roundups

Assistants lean on "best plumbers in Austin" lists, and you're not on the ones they cite.

Email the editors of the two most-cited local lists with your license number, review count and service area.
