Found on the map. Recommended by AI.
When a homeowner searches "roofer near me" — on Google Maps, or by asking ChatGPT — a few businesses get named. MappedFirst runs the profile, the reviews, and the structured data that decide which ones. From $297 a month.

Two places a homeowner checks now. Most businesses show up in neither.
They used to type it into Google and pick from the map. Increasingly they ask an AI assistant instead. Each one decides differently — and each can be worked.
The map picks three
Before any website, Google shows three businesses on the map. Which three is decided mostly by your profile and your reviews — not your website, not your ad budget.
- Primary category — the single most influential factor of the 187 studied
- Hours that are actually right, so you're "open" when they search
- Every service listed, photos that keep coming
- Reviews: how many, how recent, and whether you answer them
The AI names one or two
ChatGPT and Perplexity don't show a list. They name a business and say why. To do that they read your Google profile, your Bing listing, your website's structured data, and your reviews across the web — then decide whether you're safe to recommend.
- Your name, address and phone identical everywhere they look
- Bing Places claimed and matched — ChatGPT leans on Bing's index
- Structured data on your site that says plainly what you do and where
- Real answers to the questions homeowners actually ask
MappedFirst works both. One monthly service, one scorecard.
Three things, every month, without you touching it.
Not a report telling you what's broken. The work itself — done, published, approved by you first, and shown on a monthly scorecard.
Build the profile properly — and make it readable by AI
Primary category, every relevant service, accurate hours, attributes, description, photos. Then the part most agencies skip: structured data on your website, your Bing listing claimed and matched, and your name, address and phone made identical everywhere an AI might check.
Keep it alive
A post every week and every review answered within 48 hours, written in your voice and approved by you before it goes live. Nineteen percent of customers now expect a reply the same day.
Bring in new reviews
A request goes to every customer after the job — never only the happy ones. Target: four or more new Google reviews a month, collected the way Google's rules actually require.
One signal. Look what it moves.

Photos are one signal out of forty-eight. The 2026 Whitespark study puts your primary category first, with review recency close behind — about 74% of consumers say they only care about reviews from the last three months.
Most of what decides whether you show up lives inside the profile itself. That's the good news: it's fixable, it's free to fix, and almost nobody does it. That gap is the whole business.

Straight talk on timing: local search moves over three to six months, not three to six days. Anyone promising the top spot next week is either guessing or breaking Google's rules — and the second one gets profiles suspended.
