Plumbers in Tampa, FL: who AI recommends

When someone in Tampa asks an AI assistant for a plumber, the answer is a shortlist — and being off it means never being considered. This page tracks that shortlist: the same consumer questions go to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and 8 more AI assistants every week, and what they answer is recorded here.

Covers Tampa and nearby areas including St. Petersburg, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, South Tampa, Clearwater.

Sample: 33 assistant answers across 12 engines on 3 question phrasings, week of August 17, 2026. 35 unverifiable names (likely hallucinations) dropped.

Business links point to each company's own website — taken from what the assistants cited or wrote, and otherwise from a verified business-listing lookup that had to return this exact business by name. We never guess a domain, so a name without a link is one we could not confirm.

Asked the ways customers actually ask

The same assistants, the same week, three phrasings of one need — ranked separately. A business that wins “best” but loses “most affordable” is losing a different customer each time.

12 assistants answered “Who are the best plumbers in Tampa, FL?” this month and named 25 plumbers 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.

How many plumbers did AI assistants name in Tampa, FL?

How is this ranking measured?

Fixed, unbranded consumer questions — including "Who are the best plumbers in Tampa, FL?" — are put to the same assistants every week. 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 questions we ask

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

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot answer in live, web-connected mode; Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Mistral answer from model knowledge only, and Siri and Alexa through the voice stack. Each is labeled in the methodology.
