Which questions produced the Philadelphia rankings?
The same questions real homeowners type — including "Who is the best solar company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?" and "I want to put solar panels on my house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Who should I hire?" — and we recorded every company named in the answers. The full set of phrasings is listed on this page.
Can a company pay to be on the Philadelphia list?
No — and that's the point. Rankings are measured, never sold; no payment, sponsorship, or relationship puts a company here. Money cannot buy a place on this list.
Why isn't my company on the Philadelphia list?
It means ChatGPT never named it in our July 2026 checks — nothing more. That says nothing about the quality of the work, only that homeowners who ask AI are being sent elsewhere. Most companies haven't shown up in AI answers yet.
