We ran the same question across three cities: Dallas, Miami, and Denver. Every time, AI named specific companies with confidence, not a list of ten, not a disclaimer. If your company was not in the answer, the job never made it to your phone.
Perplexity was asked who the best roofing company is in each city, and named companies by name every time, logged 2026-07-31.
On 3 of 3 city captures, the engine named specific companies with full confidence, no hedge, no disclaimer that it might be wrong. A homeowner reading that answer stops looking. If your company was not one of the names, that job never made it to your phone.
A homeowner with a leak does not scroll ten blue links anymore. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI who the best roofing company near them is, and the assistant names two or three companies by name. On every one of our three dated captures, it did exactly that.
Directory context behind those answers was checked against sources including GAF, Yelp, Angi, Best Pick Reports, and BBB, and in our other verticals, community threads and roundup articles show up too. That is where these engines pull names from, not just where you rank on Google. We do not sell a score. We sell the receipt. And we prove it works by running it on ourselves in public first, losses included, at namebeam.ai.
We ask five engines the question your customers ask, and send you the raw dated transcript of who they name, and whether that is you.
As of 2026-08-01, AI does not name Namebeam either, 0 of 5 engines. We publish that number in public, because a business that will show you its own zero can be trusted to show you yours. See the record at the AI Visibility Index.
How this page was built. The three city captures linked above were each run as a single question, on Perplexity, on 2026-07-31, with the verbatim companies named logged in the order returned. Each capture is one engine on one date, not a ranking or endorsement of any company, and engine answers change over time. See each city's own report for its full method and directory sources. Namebeam is an educational and marketing service and does not guarantee rankings, traffic, or revenue.
