Diagnosis

Across 30 captures on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Ridgeview Window Cleaning appears in 17 responses and is the primary recommendation in 11. That makes you the market leader in a landscape of 19 competing brands.

The biggest single bottleneck is on Perplexity: you're mentioned in 60% of responses but recommended in only 30% — a 30-point gap. AI lists you, then recommends someone else. Classic passing-reference problem — the fix is language on your site, not visibility. ChatGPT is a separate problem: 30% presence, 20% recommendation.

The cheapest wins: 5 'passing reference' mentions where AI names you but does not endorse — the cheapest conversions; your "15 years in business in the Pacific Northwest" claim does not surface in any AI answer yet and can be added to site content. The full priority list follows in the dashboard and playbook.

Confidence: medium (63%, ±18%) Based on 30 captures across 10 prompts.
