Is your business in this answer?
12 assistants answered “Who are the best pest control companies in Tampa, FL?” this week and named 25 pest control companies in Tampa, FL. Which side of that list you are on decides whether a customer asking that question ever hears your name.
On the list, and want to be higher?
Rank here is set by how many assistants repeat your name and which sources they read to decide it — the 25 sources above are the ones that shaped this answer. Our platform measures exactly that for one business: the same 12 assistants, daily instead of weekly, which of those sources you appear on and which you don't, and every fix tracked until the answer changes.
You're not on the list
Then for this question you were not in the answer at all — not ranked low, absent from the shortlist, with nothing to tell you it happened. That is the ordinary case: most pest control companies in Tampa, FL are never named. Finding out is free.

Named businesses are resolved to one entity, a name mentioned only once is dropped as unverifiable, and a cell publishes nothing until enough answers accumulate. No business can pay to appear or to rank higher.

The prompt set is fixed and unbranded, so week-over-week movement means the assistants changed their answer — not that we changed the question.
