Questions about plumbers in San Diego

How AI assistants recommend plumbers

ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini named Bill Howe Plumbing, Heating & Air most often, in 75% of 36 answers, then Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air (67%) and Scott's Plumbing (28%). The names come from what the assistants answered to four buyer questions in November 2026; we have not checked that any of them is good, open or real.

Not always. ChatGPT named Bill Howe Plumbing, Heating & Air most often (100% of its answers), Claude Scott's Plumbing (83%) and Gemini Bill Howe Plumbing, Heating & Air (100%). 3 of the 16 listed businesses were named by two or more of them.

Each question was asked three times. Of the names an assistant gave for a question, 52% came back in two or more of those runs; the rest came up once. The 95% range beside each rate in the ranking shows how far it could move by chance.

How to read this page

The full method

What it measures: Which names these models produce when asked cold, from what they learned in training. It is not a review, a rating or our recommendation, and a business missing here may simply be one the models were never shown.
Why the ranges matter: 36 answers is a sample. Asked again next month, most shares will move by a few points; the ranges say how far they could move by chance alone.
One business, several spellings: Branches, legal suffixes and spellings of one business are merged, and the other spellings are printed under its name. Names that might be two businesses are kept apart.
A name is wrong: If a business here is closed, misnamed or yours and you want it removed, tell us. We correct or remove it when the page is next published.
