    Get Found on AI REPLAY

    See the replay of the Get Found on AI and get MORE Cleaning Jobs workshop. The way people search for cleaning companies is changing. For years, cleaning business owners have focused primarily on getting found on Google. Google is still extremely important, but now potential customers can also open ChatGPT or another AI tool and ask: “Who are the best carpet cleaning companies in my area?” “Who would you recommend for tile and grout cleaning?” “What’s the best cleaning company near me for pet odor removal?” Instead of simply displaying a list of websites, AI can research information from across the web and provide a direct answer. ChatGPT Search, for example, can search current web information and cite the sources it uses. That raises an important question: Is AI recommending YOUR cleaning company—or your competitors? That’s what we explored during my Get Found on AI. Get More Cleaning Jobs. workshop.
