235 WEBSITES · 26 GROUPS · AUGUST 2026
When someone asks an assistant who to call, it names three
Not twenty. Three. There are twenty contractors in the city and room for three names in the answer, and the thing that decides which three is not who is best — it is who the machine has enough words about to risk saying out loud.
So I measured. 235 home service websites, 26 groups of one city and one trade, the same seventeen checks on every one of them. Each list below names the three with the most to quote, and counts — without names — what everybody else is missing.

Your city isn't here yet
A group gets published at six measured companies. Your own site takes eight seconds and doesn't wait for the group — same seventeen checks, same four rows, and the exact lines that are missing.
Run my siteWhy three
Because that is what an answer looks like. Ask any assistant who to call for a leaking roof in a named city and you get a short paragraph with two or three businesses in it, sometimes with a phone number and a sentence about what they do. The businesses in that paragraph are not the ones with the best reviews — they are the ones whose pages contain sentences a model can repeat without inventing anything.
The full method, the seventeen checks and the open data live in the index write-up. If you are named on one of these lists and want the entry corrected or removed, write to hello@landingpeak.com — same day, no argument.
