Plumbers in Portland are being recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI right now. The list is short. Either your shop is on it, or the customer never sees you. We measure exactly where you stand, on the record.
Plumbing is an emergency-driven category, and the engines weigh that. They favor businesses described with urgency and service-area language: 24-hour, burst pipe, water heater, and the neighborhoods you actually cover. Consistent hours and phone presence across the sources they read carry weight, and so does review recency, because a model recommending a plumber is really forecasting who will answer and show up. A top Google ad does not move this. The engines summarize trust, not spend.
