Vermont: who AI recommends
When a Vermont customer asks an AI assistant who to hire, the assistant answers with names. AI Syndicate Local records those answers — the same consumer questions, put to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and 8 more AI assistants on a weekly cadence — so businesses can see a channel that is otherwise invisible.
What will publish here
The same index already running in Florida is coming to Vermont: for each metro and each of 20 local service categories, a weekly consensus ranking of the businesses ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and 8 more AI assistants actually name — with the exact question set, sample size, and week-over-week movement published alongside every ranking.
No ranking is published for Vermont yet because no runs have accumulated here yet — we publish measurements, not projections. When Vermont metros enter the weekly sweep, their first editions appear as soon as the sample clears our floor.
The categories Vermont 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 Vermont rankings will be directly comparable to every other market in the index.
Measured, never curated
Every figure comes from one weekly pipeline: fixed unbranded questions per metro and category, identical wording to all five assistants, answers recorded append-only, names resolved to verifiable businesses, and a hard sample floor below which we say "recording" instead of publishing noise.
Run a business in Vermont?
The index publishes Vermont as its measurements clear the floor — but the assistants are answering your customers now. Find out whether they name you, and what it takes to change that.
