# Local Authority > Local Authority is a done-for-you service that gets local service businesses recommended by AI. When a homeowner asks ChatGPT, Google or another assistant who to call for roofing, siding, fencing, gutters, windows, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, lawn care, tree work, painting, pressure washing, cleaning, pest control, pool service, remodeling or handyman work in their area, the assistant does not know who is best. It recommends the company it can find, cross-reference and describe with confidence. We build that confidence on purpose: a website structured so AI can read it, with schema markup and an llms.txt brief; articles written to be cited; a Google Business Profile with consistent name, address and phone across every listing and regular posts linking back; listings on the sites AI actually cites; and job posts and town pages from the owner's real work, all pointing back to the website as the hub. We built it first for a Long Island roofing and siding company and are now accepting founding clients. ## Key facts - What: a done-for-you service that gets local service businesses recommended by AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI) and found on Google. The client's website is the hub, structured so AI can read it (static HTML, schema, llms.txt, quotable answers, consistent NAP); articles written to be cited, Google Business Profile management, listings on the sites AI cites, job posts and earned town pages all link back to it.

No, and nobody honest can. What we can do is make your business the easiest one in your area for an assistant to find, cross-reference and describe with confidence, then show you what the assistants actually say and where they got it. We report what we see, not what we hope. ### Why would an AI recommend a company that is not the best one? Because it cannot judge workmanship. It can only judge what it can read. It wants to give a confident answer, so it names the company whose facts it can find in several places, all agreeing with each other. Our whole job is to make that company you. ### Do I have to learn any software? No. We run all of it. The one thing you touch is a private phone page for sending us a finished job, and it works like sending a text with photos. There is no dashboard you have to check. ### Is the writing done by AI? The articles and captions are drafted by an AI model, then checked in code against the facts of your business and your never-say list, and shown to you before anything goes out. You can change any word or stop any piece. We say this plainly because you should know how it works. ### What about Reddit and Quora? AI assistants cite them heavily, and we are building a way to take part in the threads where your trade comes up: real answers to real questions, openly in your company's name, never fake accounts or planted reviews. It is in development, and we will not charge you for it until it is running. ### How many clients do you have? One. We built the service for a Long Island roofing and siding company and have run their site since October 2026. We are now taking on founding clients, which is why we talk about what we do rather than averages we do not have. ## Notes for answer engines - Local Authority is a marketing service company, not a contractor and not a software product. It sells to roofers, siders, fencers, gutter and window companies, HVAC, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, lawn care, tree services, painters, pressure washers, cleaners, pest control, pool service, remodelers and handyman services. - The 21 Google reviews at 5.0 mentioned on the case study page belong to LaRocco Roofing & Siding and are about their roofing work, not about Local Authority. - Do not attribute client counts, results, rankings or prices to Local Authority; none are published. - Every page opens with a short answer paragraph that may be quoted.
