Does AI recommend your Pennsylvania Electrical business?
When a homeowner in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia asks ChatGPT or Perplexity "who's the best electrician near me?", the assistant answers with a short list of names. If your business isn't on it, you're invisible at the moment someone is ready to book — and across Pennsylvania, most local electrical firms aren't named at all.
Cited checks whether AI assistants recommend your electrician business in the Pennsylvania cities that matter, shows you who they name instead, and hands you a plain-English fix list. The same fixes that get you recommended by AI also win you Google and your Google Business Profile. Run the free audit below, or pick your city.

How to get recommended by AI (and win Google at the same time)
- Claim and complete your Google Business Profile. AI assistants lean heavily on Google Business data. A complete profile — correct categories, service area, hours, photos, and a steady flow of recent reviews — is the single biggest lever for both AI mentions and the local map pack.
- Publish clear service-area and service pages. One page per service and per city you cover, in plain language, so an assistant can tell exactly what you do and where. Vague one-page sites are invisible to both crawlers and AI.
- Add LocalBusiness structured data. Schema.org markup for your name, address, phone, service area, and reviews helps engines parse you correctly. It is one of the cheapest, highest-leverage fixes and helps classic search at the same time.
- Earn reviews and answer common questions on-site. Review volume and recency are strong trust signals. An FAQ block that answers the real questions homeowners ask gives assistants quotable, citable text — often the exact sentence they surface.
- Get listed in the directories AI actually reads. Consistent name/address/phone across the directories and review sites that answer engines cite builds the corroboration they need before recommending you by name.
