When a customer asks ChatGPT or Gemini who to call, the answer comes from what those tools can read about you. Here is what that looked like for three junk removal companies.

What these numbers don’t show
- Our AI study used gpt-5-mini through OpenAI’s API, not the ChatGPT app your customers use, and it ran on one day. Answers change from run to run.
- An AI citation is visibility, not a booked job. We count the citations; we can’t see what the reader did next.
- Junk Limo’s organic clicks from Google held roughly level over the same months, so we don’t claim organic growth there.
- Haul It Off’s average Google position across all searches slipped after late September as the site started showing for broader searches like furniture removal.

Methodology
Where every number comes from
Junk Limo: GA4 sessions referred by chatgpt.com and the contact events on those sessions, August 27 – November 12, 2026; events, not people. Haul It Off: Adimize’s AI visibility study on November 13, 2026, 6 local questions asked 3 times each per engine (18 answers per engine). The OpenAI engine was gpt-5-mini through the API with web search, which is not the ChatGPT app; Gemini was Gemini 4 Hydrogen through its API. Only Haul It Off’s own results are published. Bing citations for Haul It Off and J&F are Bing Webmaster Tools AI Performance counts, August 11 – November 10, 2026. Search figures are Google Search Console 28-day range totals; “page one” counts searches with an average position of 10 or better and at least 3 appearances. Every account is one Adimize manages. Client quotes are the owners’ own reports and are not measured by us.
