North Dakota: who AI recommends

When someone in North Dakota asks an AI assistant who to hire, it answers with names. Every month we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and 8 more AI assistants the questions real customers ask, and publish who they name — city by city, category by category.

What will publish here

The same index already running in Alabama is coming to North Dakota: for each metro and each of 20 local service categories, a monthly consensus ranking of the businesses ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and 8 more AI assistants actually name — with the exact question set, sample size, and month-over-month movement published alongside every ranking.

No ranking is published for North Dakota yet because no runs have accumulated here yet — we publish measurements, not projections. When North Dakota metros enter the monthly sweep, their first editions appear as soon as the sample clears our floor.

The categories North Dakota will get

Plumbers · HVAC & Air Conditioning · Electricians · Roofing · Pest Control · Auto Repair · Moving Companies · Personal Injury Lawyers · Real Estate Teams · Med Spas · Cosmetic Dentists · Garage Door Repair · Water Damage Restoration · Solar Installation · Window & Door Replacement · Restaurants · Hotels · Business Litigation Lawyers · Criminal Defense Lawyers · Speeding Ticket Lawyers — the same set every live metro runs, so North Dakota rankings will be directly comparable to every other market in the index.

How the North Dakota rankings work

  1. 1We askThe same questions real customers ask — “Who's the best plumber in Tampa?” — go to 12 AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Google's AI, Claude and Gemini.
  2. 2They answerEach assistant names the businesses it recommends. We record every answer and check each name is a real business.
  3. 3We rankThe more assistants that name a business, and the more often, the higher it ranks. It updates every month, and nobody can pay to be on it.
Rankings summarize what the AI assistants answered on a fixed, unbranded question set — they are measurements of AI output, not AI Syndicate's endorsement of any business. Placement cannot be bought. Full detail in the methodology.
