For plumbing companies
When a homeowner asks AI who can fix a burst pipe tonight, see whose name comes up.
Found in AI asks five AI tools the questions your customers ask, every month, and records who gets named. You see the questions where competitors appear and you do not, and you decide what to publish next.

Who can fix a burst pipe tonight near me?
For a burst pipe after hours, look for a licensed plumber that lists emergency service on its website. Competitor A states round-the-clock availability and a flat after-hours call fee, and Competitor B shows its license number and service area on every page.
How buyers decide
Your customers are asking AI first. Here is what they ask.
Plumbing decisions happen in two very different moments. A burst pipe or a backed-up sewer line is decided in minutes, often on a phone, by someone standing in water. That person asks an AI tool who is open now, and the answer leans on whatever websites state plainly: emergency hours, the area served, and how quickly a truck can arrive.
Planned jobs work differently. A homeowner replacing a water heater or repiping an older house compares options for days, and asks follow-up questions about tank versus tankless, permits, and what a fair quote should include. Companies that publish clear explanations of those topics give the tools something specific to quote when the question comes up.
Trust carries a lot of weight in this trade because the customer is letting a stranger into the house. License numbers, insurance, upfront pricing policies and warranties on parts and labor are the facts AI answers tend to repeat. When those facts live only in a phone call or a printed flyer, the tools simply cannot see them.

What AI tools can use
Content that answers the questions in your trade.
We cannot decide what an AI tool says. What you can control is whether your website answers your customers' questions clearly. These are the kinds of pages that do.
Emergency hours and response area
State which hours you take emergency calls, which neighborhoods you cover after dark, and how dispatch works. AI tools answering an urgent question look for exactly these facts and pass over sites that leave them vague.
License, insurance and warranty details
Give your license number, proof of insurance and the terms of your parts and labor warranty a page of their own. These are the trust facts AI answers repeat when someone asks who is reliable.
Pricing explainers
Explain how you price common jobs such as drain clearing or a water heater swap, even if it is a flat diagnostic fee. Clear pricing language gives AI tools a concrete reason to describe your approach.
Guides for planned projects
Write plain answers to the research behind bigger jobs: tank versus tankless, repiping older homes, trenchless sewer repair. Homeowners ask these over several days, and a thorough guide is something a tool can cite.
Gaps
Where a competitor was named and you were not.
Every report lists these gaps, with an idea for what to publish to answer each question.
Questions about plumbers
Are results guaranteed?
No. No one can guarantee what AI tools say about any plumbing company. Found in AI measures where you are named each month, shows the questions where you are missing, and tracks whether that changes after you publish.
Which questions do you ask for a plumbing company?
We start from what homeowners in your area actually ask, from emergency repairs to water heater and sewer research. You can review the list, add your own questions, and remove anything that does not match the services you offer.
Are emergency questions treated differently?
They are tracked like any other question, but the report flags them because customers act on them immediately. A competitor named for a plumber who is open now is usually the first gap worth looking at.
Will anything go live on my website without me?
No. The Write content for my gaps switch is off by default. If you turn it on, AI Blog Writer drafts one post per gap, and each draft waits for your approval before it is published.
