## Where we show up in AI search

We ask an AI search tool the questions homeowners ask and record which builders it names. Out of 25 checks per question:

- Custom home builder in Woodland Hills: recommended 20 times, first 6 times.

- Room addition contractor in Los Angeles: 13 times, first 4 times.

- Best ADU builder in Los Angeles: 9 times, first 2 times.

- Kitchen remodeling in the San Fernando Valley: 3 times, first all 3.

This covers one AI search tool, not every assistant, and results vary from day to day.

## What this tells us

Local, specific searches work best for us. A neighborhood plus a project type, such as Woodland Hills custom homes or Altadena hillside work, puts us in front of homeowners. Broad searches are where larger companies with more reviews still lead, and that is where we are putting our effort next.

## Choosing a builder

Rankings are a starting point. Verify the CSLB license, ask for proof of insurance, read recent reviews and see finished projects. Call us and we will go over your lot, timeline and permits.
