- AI assistants named 23 different AC repair companies in San Diego, but only 1 came up on three or more engines.
- The same question, asked three times, rarely got the same list here (stability 34/100). One check of an assistant is a sample, not a verdict. ChatGPT varied most, at 0/100.
- Bob Jenson Air Conditioning and Heating was named most often: in 7 of 12 answers, on 3 of 4 engines. Bob Jenson Air Conditioning and Heating came up in 3 of 3 Gemini answers but 1 of 3 on ChatGPT.
- expertise.com was the listing site AI assistants cited most often for AC repair companies in San Diego (7 of 12 answers), so a listing there matters.

Is your business in these answers?
Leolens asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude the questions your customers ask, every month, and shows whether they name you and whether what they say about you is true.
Plans start at $799 per month for one location. For AC and HVAC businesses we write your question set with you first, and nothing is charged until it exists.
Why some AC repair companies show up and others don’t
Assistants recommend what they can find and cross-check. What tends to help:
- Keep your Google Business Profile complete and current: the AC repair and heating categories you actually offer, every city you serve, real hours (including after-hours), and recent job photos.
- Make your business name, address and phone number match exactly across Google, Yelp, Angi, the BBB and your own website. Assistants cross-check listings, and a mismatch makes them less sure you are one business.
- Give each service and each area its own page that answers what customers ask: how a diagnostic visit is priced, how fast you arrive, which brands you service, and whether you work weekends.
- Ask for reviews that say what you did and where ("fixed our AC in San Diego the same day"). Specific, recent review text is what assistants summarize back.

How we collected this
In October 2026 we asked ChatGPT (gpt-5.6-terra), Gemini (gemini-3.8-flash), Perplexity (perplexity/sonar) and Claude (claude-sonnet-5) the question What's the best AC repair company in San Diego, CA?
3 times each, through each provider’s API with web search turned on, as a new conversation with no account, history or location. A separate model listed the businesses each answer named; we checked every name against the answer’s own text and merged different spellings of the same business.
