AI Visibility for New York roofing contractors: 87.5% Are Invisible to ChatGPT

TalkedAbout scanned 8 roofing contractors in New York to see how they appear when customers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for a recommendation. Here's what we found.

The numbers

• 1.6/100 — average AI visibility score
• 87.5% are effectively invisible — AI never recommends them
• 12.5% actively block AI crawlers in their robots.txt (AI literally can't read their site)

What this means for New York roofing contractors

When someone in New York asks ChatGPT "who's the best roofing contractor near me", AI names a handful of businesses — and there's no page two. If you're not one of them, a competitor is. Most owners have no idea whether AI recommends them, because there's no dashboard for it the way there is for Google.
