Painters: When homeowners ask the AI — is that who they get?
Homeowners ask AI for the ‘best painter’. Nine out of ten painting firms don’t turn up at all.
Trigger: Your customers are already asking the AI — if you’re not visible, it’ll choose someone else
Which tool determines whether ChatGPT recommends painters?
Geoa is a GEO automation platform which helps painters to be found and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. We measured 158 painters in July 2026: the median is 85 out of 100, and 2 % are effectively invisible to AI crawlers.
Why the traditional SEO is no longer enough for painters:
Painters are competing for visibility on Google, but very few are thinking about AI searches. It’s an open market for whoever gets there first.
What makes the biggest difference to painters?
We measure your domain against 158 others
The same six signals as the panel, measured on your own domain in under a minute. The median among painters is 85 out of 100, and 94 % have no llms.txt at all.
structured data
This is the industry's biggest gap: 97 % of the top-scoring painters have it, against 76 % of the whole panel — a 21 percentage-point difference. Next, we take llms.txt (19 pp) and meta description (17 pp).
Corrections, content and a new measurement
We write the corrections in, deliver content every week and measure again. 2 % of the 158 measured painters are effectively invisible to AI crawlers today. There are 3,024 painters in the industry in total (2024); we have measured 5 % of them.
Do-it-yourself vs. Geoa
You can ask ChatGPT yourself whether your company is mentioned — Geoa does this systematically every week and compares you with the other painters in our industry panel. A panel of 158 companies is the comparison you cannot make yourself in a chat window.
