Electrical
What AI says about electricians.
A homeowner’s panel is full and the EV charger lands next week. They ask ChatGPT who can do it. A few shops get named. This page is about whether yours is one of them.
The questions homeowners are asking
Nobody shops for an electrician for fun. Something happened. A home inspector flagged knob and tube wiring and the sale is sitting on it. The dryer trips the breaker. Every load. The kitchen reno needs four new circuits, the drywall is already off and the tiler starts Monday. The charger is ordered and the panel has no room left.
Those people used to type it into Google. Plenty still do. More of them now ask ChatGPT, or read the AI answer at the top of Google, and they get one short reply with a handful of names in it. Nothing on your end tells you that you weren’t in it.
Questions like these
- “Who can upgrade my panel to 200 amp in Mississauga?”
- “Is knob and tube wiring safe to leave in?”
- “Why does my breaker keep tripping?”
- “Do I need a permit to add circuits in my kitchen?”
What the check tells you
You paste your web address. We put questions like those to the AI tools homeowners use, like ChatGPT, Google’s AI answers, Gemini and Perplexity, and we hand back what they said.
You’ll see whether your name came up at all. Which questions bring you up, and which ones never do. The shops that got named instead. And where the AI got its information about you.
We record what the tools actually said at the time we asked. Their answers shift with how a question is worded and where it’s asked from. The result is a snapshot of that moment. It isn’t a fixed score. We’ll tell you when a number is measured and when it’s an estimate.
What makes AI treat your shop as real
These tools read your website the way a careful customer does. They’re looking for proof that you exist and do the work you say you do.
In Ontario you need an ECRA/ESA licence, the number the Electrical Safety Authority issues, and the Authority tells homeowners to ask for it before anyone opens a panel. Put that number in plain text on your site and a customer can check it in seconds. So can an AI tool. We keep finding it in a photo of the truck door, where neither one can read it.
The rest is the same idea. Name the cities and suburbs you cover, in words. Say which work you take, whether that’s panel upgrades, EV chargers, knob and tube replacement or service calls. Keep your phone number and hours as text, not an image. Say whether you answer the phone after midnight.
None of that is a trick. It’s the information a homeowner wants anyway, written somewhere a machine can read it too.
See where you stand
The check is free and we don’t ask for a credit card. It takes about thirty seconds, once. The form sits at the top of the home page.
We only look at what’s already public.
