The New Orleans AI Recommendation IndexOctober 2026
When a homeowner asks an AI assistant who to call for a roofer, a plumber or an electrician,
which local companies does it name? This page records what it said, trade by trade. Facts only, dated,
and nobody paid to be here.
Asked October 5, 2026, between 12:36 a.m. and 3:37 p.m. Central · one assistant (Claude, with web search) · next edition: November 2026
Disclosure
autoants sells search optimization to local businesses, including help showing up in AI answers.
No company paid to be on or off this page. Being listed is not an endorsement by autoants, and not being
listed says nothing about a company's work. Some companies here may be or become our clients; that never changes
what the assistant said.
For every trade we asked the same three questions a homeowner would. Each company below shows how many of the
three answers named it and the best numbered spot it got (the number the answer itself printed; — means it was
named outside a numbered list). Companies are A–Z within each group. Position is what the assistant printed,
not our ranking.

How we did it
Method
Which assistant. Claude (made by Anthropic) with web search turned on. This edition uses
one assistant only. Future editions will add more assistants and show them side by side.
The three questions, asked once each, per trade and city:
What's the best [trade] company in [city]? Give me your top recommendations.
I need [trade] tonight in [city]. Who should I call? Name specific companies.
Recommend a reliable [trade] company in [city], Louisiana with great reviews.
each followed by: “Answer as you would for a homeowner. Use web search. List the companies you recommend, in order.” The trade words were: air conditioning, electrician, garage door repair, landscaping, pest control, plumbing, roofing, tree service.
The cities were New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Mandeville. Every trade's exact wording and time is under
“The three questions” in its box.
One exception. New Orleans air conditioning: Asked in the first video-audit batch with slightly different wording ("air conditioning repair", "My AC died tonight", "HVAC company"). Same assistant, same three kinds of question, same instruction.
When. October 5, 2026, between 12:36 a.m. and 3:37 p.m. Central.
What counts. A company counts when an answer offered it as someone to call or consider, numbered or
not, including “call them tomorrow.” Where an answer set a company aside (left it off its list,
or advised against calling it), that answer does not count for it. Restoration companies and tree crews are listed under the trade where the answer named them.
What we leave out. Ratings, review counts and the assistant's comments about any company. Only the
names, how often, and the printed position.
Answers vary from run to run. Ask the same question twice and the list can change. This is a dated
snapshot of 36 answers, not a ranking of quality, and not advice on whom to hire.
How to get named
Nobody can promise a spot in an AI answer, us included. But the answers above lean on the same public
signals a careful homeowner checks. Four honest places to start:
Same business details everywhere. Your name, address, phone and hours should match on your Google
profile, your website, Facebook, Yelp, the BBB and every directory that lists you.
One clear page about what you do and where. The trade, the parishes and neighborhoods you serve,
whether you take night calls, and your license numbers, written in plain words on your own site.
Real reviews, asked for steadily. Ask every real customer, the same way every time, and reply to
what they write. Never buy or filter reviews.
Answer what customers ask. The questions people bring to an assistant (what does a repair cost,
do you come tonight, what should I do before you arrive) deserve plain answers on your site.
Want to see what AI assistants say about your own business today? We'll make you a free 90-second video
audit from public information, sent only to you.
Own one of these companies, or spotted a name we got wrong or merged? Tell us. We fix our own mistakes, usually
within a day. We can't change what the assistant said, but we will fix how we recorded it. The button opens our
form with “AI Index correction” already chosen; tell us the company and the change.
