AI visibility for plumbers
Some customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity to recommend a heating engineer instead of scrolling Google. Once a month, LocalQuiver puts up to four real customer questions to all three, each answering from live web results, and shows whether you’re named, how high, and who comes up instead.
Who’s a reliable plumber in Newark?
How it works for plumbers
Questions your customers would ask
Pick up to four, like who’s a good emergency plumber near me or the best boiler installer in your town. The same questions are asked every month, so the history tells a fair story rather than a one-off guess.
A score you can follow
The score shows what share of all the answers named your firm. You also see which assistants mentioned you and in what position, so you know whether Perplexity puts you forward while ChatGPT leaves you out.
Who gets named instead
Every business named in the answers is pulled out in order, with your top rivals listed. If the same heating firm keeps appearing, it’s worth looking at what their reviews and website are doing differently from yours.
Two or three things to do
A short ‘what this means’ section suggests two or three practical actions. Nobody can buy an AI recommendation, so the suggestions are things you can actually work on, not a shortcut that doesn’t exist.

A first check for Wrenhill Heating
Named by Perplexity, missing from ChatGPT
Aisha runs Wrenhill Heating and has never given AI assistants a thought. Her first AI visibility check asks all three about a boiler engineer in her town. Perplexity names Wrenhill second; ChatGPT and Gemini name two other firms and leave her out entirely. The short write-up suggests a couple of things to work on. She keeps going with her reviews and articles, and next month’s answers will sit alongside these, so she can see what changes.

The film
Three self-contained chapters: a monthly Google Maps scan from a grid of points around the business, a monthly check of whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name it, and a monthly head-to-head with the local rivals it picks. It works the same way for plumbers.

0:01Where you show up on Google Maps depends on where your customer is standing.
0:06So once a month, we run your key search from a grid of points around your business, as if a customer were standing at each one.
0:13You see where you're top three, where you don't appear at all, who beats you at each point, and two or three plain-English things to do next.
0:24Customers can now ask AI assistants where to go, too.
0:28Once a month, we put up to four of your customers' questions to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, each answering from live web results.
0:37You see whether you're named, how high, and who's named instead. Nobody can buy a recommendation, but now you'll know where you stand.
0:48And how do you stack up against your local rivals?
0:52Pick them from Google, and every month we check their rating and review count, new reviews, how often they reply, what customers praise and complain about, their AI visibility and map position.
1:04Then it's all set beside yours, head to head, so you can see where you're ahead, and where they're pulling away.
1:12LocalQuiver. Your marketing, sorted.

More for plumbers
It uses ChatGPT’s model with web search, alongside Gemini and Perplexity, each answering from live web results. That’s close to what a customer would see, though no two people get identical answers, which is why the same questions are repeated every month and the trend is tracked.
No, and nobody can honestly sell you that. The assistants decide for themselves from what’s on the web. What you get is a clear monthly picture of whether you’re named, who is named instead, and a few practical things to work on.
Once a month. Checks aren’t weekly or on demand, which keeps the comparison fair from one month to the next. Your history builds up over time, and the result also appears in your monthly report, waiting in your dashboard.
