How it works

We ask AI the same questions your customers ask.

Questions like these, in your trade and your city:

  • “Best plumber in Toronto”
  • “AC not cooling, who should I call?”
  • “Emergency roofer near Vaughan”
  • “Top-rated electrician in Markham”
  • “Burst pipe repair Etobicoke”
  • “Best HVAC company in Mississauga”

  1. Step 1

    Confirm your business

    Name, trade, and city — then confirm the exact business before anything runs.

  2. Step 2

    We ask the AI engines

    Each question runs three times on all four engines — 72 answers, because one answer proves nothing.

  3. Step 3

    Your grade is calculated

    Every business AI named is counted; how often, how high, and how positively you appear becomes your A–F grade.

  4. Step 4

    You get your fixes

    Your fastest actions, in plain English, emailed with the report.

Who's behind this

Built in Toronto for local businesses that rely on being chosen first.

Tyler Teolis, Founder of LocalRankHQ

Tyler Teolis

Founder

I spent over a decade as a technology specialist at GAV MGMT, building enterprise AV and collaboration systems — Microsoft Teams Rooms, large-format LED walls, boardroom conferencing — where a system either works the morning of the big meeting or it doesn't. I built LocalRankHQ myself, end to end, on the same principle: measure it, don't guess. Customers now ask AI assistants who to hire, and the businesses AI names aren't always the best ones — just the ones the engines can read. LocalRankHQ makes that visibility measurable for Toronto's trades, and helps change the answer.

The honest version

We throw everything we have at your visibility — profile, reviews, pages, citations — and re-measure it every month so you watch it move. The one thing nobody can promise is what AI engines will say; anyone who guarantees a ranking is telling you what you want to hear. We'd rather show you a scoreboard.

No fake testimonials, no invented case studies. The scan is free so you can judge the product by your own report.

Start free. Upgrade when it pays.

The report card costs nothing. Tracking and fixing are optional.

All prices in Canadian dollars.

Questions, answered.

Whether AI assistants recommend your business. We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity the questions your customers ask — like “best plumber in Mississauga” — 72 answers per scan. Then we record whether you're named, who's named instead, and turn it into your A–F grade.
It's related, but not the same game. SEO is about ranking in a list of links. AI visibility is about being one of the two or three businesses an assistant names in a single answer — and almost nobody measures that. The scan measures it.
Three structural differences. Everything we claim is measured — your grade comes from 72 real AI answers you can read yourself in the report. You approve every change before it goes live. And there are no contracts: month to month, cancel anytime, you keep all completed work. We publish our methodology because measurement, not promises, is the product.
Fair question, and we don't hide it. That's exactly why the scan is free and why the founding structure exists: our first three Fix clients get a reduced rate in exchange for a published before-and-after case study, so the proof gets built in public. Until those receipts exist, judge us by the sample report and the methodology page — both show precisely how everything is calculated.
Here's what we guarantee: every fix gets done, you approve it all, and your visibility is re-measured monthly with 72 real AI answers you can read yourself. What nobody can guarantee is the engines' organic answers — those can't be bought by us or anyone. (Some AI products show separately labeled ads; the scan measures the organic recommendations.) So instead of a hollow promise you get a scoreboard and the right to walk any month. That's a higher bar than a guarantee: we have to keep earning it.
AI models are probabilistic — the same question can produce different answers depending on the model's sampling, its sources, and the product mode. That's exactly why every question runs three times on every engine: repetition shows whether you appear consistently, instead of letting one lucky answer decide your grade.
No. LocalRankHQ is an independent Toronto company. We measure what those engines publicly answer — we have no inside access, and organic recommendations can't be bought by us or anyone. Where AI products sell ads, they're labeled separately from the answers we measure.
