Which HVAC Contractors in Upstate New York does AI actually name?

How this was measured

Each company's own website was read to work out the questions its buyers ask before they have heard of it. Those exact questions were then put to Claude, and every domain the engines cited or named was recorded. Nothing here is an estimate.

• Companies checked: 35
• Engines asked: Claude
• Questions per company: 6, generated from that company's own site
• Date: 2 August 2026
• Average score: 25/100

The limits, stated plainly. AI answers vary between runs and between engines, so this is a snapshot rather than a permanent standing. A company scoring poorly here is not a bad company — it means the engines did not name it on these questions on this date. Questions differ per company because buyers ask different things of different businesses, so scores are comparable in kind, not to the decimal.

These checks were run by Citebait against public websites, using the same public information any search engine reads. No company here submitted a scan. If yours appears and you would rather it did not, email support@citebait.com and it comes off the same day. No form, no reason needed.
