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 St. Louis 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 St. Louis, MO?
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. Sources are the sites the engines linked to.
The apps use your location and history, so what you see there can differ. Nothing on this page is a rating or review by Leolens, and no business paid to appear. For how this market compares with the rest, see the October 2026 study.
