02 · Why you're exposed
Why a garage door company is exposed
Nobody has a garage door company. There is no loyalty to inherit and no relationship to renew, because the average household needs you roughly twice in twenty years. Every single call you get is a cold search by somebody who has never thought about your trade until this morning, when a spring snapped and their car became a very large paperweight.
So the entire contest is decided in the first search, on a tight clock, by somebody with no basis for judgement. And you are not only competing with other local companies — a layer of national lead-generation sites sits on top of your market buying that search and reselling the call to whoever pays the most for it. An assistant answering the question directly is one of the few routes where a local company with a real record gets named instead of brokered.

A domain that is yours
The site carries your reviews as a structured record rather than as decoration, and the domain stays yours.
Schema typed to what you are
HomeAndConstructionBusiness — not a generic LocalBusiness stub that tells a model nothing.
Every review read and scored
Services named, recurring themes named, people named, sentiment scored per aspect.
A live endpoint for the models
An MCP endpoint and an ai-plugin manifest, so a model can query your record directly instead of guessing from a directory.
Submitted to the indexes
On a schedule, to every index that will accept a submission.
Probed weekly, reported to you
Against Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini — including the questions you are not winning yet.

Every call is a new customer. Isn't that just how it is?
It is, and that is the argument. In a trade with no repeat business, the search IS the business, so being named is worth more here than where relationships carry you.
Lead-gen sites take most of the search traffic.
They buy placement. There is no placement to buy inside an AI answer, which is the one channel where they cannot outbid you.
Customers only care about price and speed.
They care about not being upsold while their car is trapped. That anxiety is what your reviews already speak to.
We're mostly repairs, not new doors.
Repair and installation are labelled separately so you are findable for both.
