See if AI names your company.

Heating and cooling questions get short lists: install, repair, emergency no-heat. A homeowner who asks a model wants two or three names, not a directory. Mentionmill runs the prompt they would type and shows whether your company is on that list.

Use Your brand for the name on the truck. Use the prompt for the question — “best HVAC company in Denver,” “AC repair in Phoenix,” “furnace install near me.” We run ChatGPT and Perplexity. You see Named or Not named, who else, and cited links.

Not named usually means the answer leaned on pages that do not mention you. This week will ask for one page that answers that prompt, a citation on a host they already used, and matching name-city-service. Named means you stay on those hosts and watch new competitors. If you also want reviews on Google, that ask lives on Askforstars. Mentionmill still only checks whether ChatGPT or Perplexity named you.

Save the prompt for $29/month if you want a weekly re-run and email when the names change. This is not a ranking of every HVAC company in the metro. It is the one question you care about this season. These steps don’t guarantee you’ll get named. Results vary by person and place.

Plumbers and agencies can run the same check with their wording. If you want the watch explained without the trade, see the weekly AI mention check.

Seasonal prompts move. “AC repair” in July is not “furnace install” in October. The weekly watch is for the prompt you chose, not a rotating seasonal pack. Change the saved prompt later if the season changes — this plan still holds one at a time.

A Named result is not a lead. It is a name in an answer. The van still has to show up. Use This week for the page and the citation. Use the account history when a competitor appears. Cancel from Settings when you do not want the watch. The account stays.

A worked pass

Peak Air in Denver types Your brand as Peak Air and “best HVAC company in Denver.” This pass is Named. Who else: one install shop on the same list. Cited links: Angi and a Google Business Profile style page. This week says: keep the Denver HVAC page dated and specific; stay on those two hosts; watch the other name — if a third shop appears, get on the page they used. Peak Air saves the prompt. Next week the email either stays quiet or says the names moved. No score. No guarantee they stay Named.
