24/7 locksmith
AI visibility rose from about 3% to 12% in three months. The business began appearing for emergency queries across all four major AI tools, and monthly citations grew from a single mention to eight. Figures are rounded measured estimates, not exact daily rankings. Results vary by market, model, prompt set, and implementation.
Measured result
Background
A 24/7 locksmith whose business depended on urgent, high-intent demand — the lockout at midnight, the lost keys before work.
The challenge
For exactly those emergency queries it barely registered in AI answers — around 3% visibility — so at the moment a customer needed a name fastest, AI rarely gave them this one.
What we did
We targeted high-intent, emergency-led visibility:
- Built emergency-intent content matched to urgent AI prompts
- Corrected and unified local listings across platforms
- Earned citations on the sources AI cites for service recommendations
- Strengthened review and availability signals — 24/7 and response time
- Tracked appearance across all four models for emergency queries

Measurement & evidence
- Market:
- 24/7 locksmith
- Period:
- 3 months
- Measurement:
- Fixed buyer-prompt panel, repeated across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI.
- Primary metric:
- AI Visibility — the share of relevant answers, across repeated runs of the fixed prompt panel, that name the business. How this is measured
- Starting point → latest measurement:
- 3% → 12%
- Actions completed:
- Built emergency-intent content matched to urgent AI prompts; Corrected and unified local listings across platforms; Earned citations on the sources AI cites for service recommendations; Strengthened review and availability signals — 24/7 and response time; Tracked appearance across all four models for emergency queries.
- Disclosed here:
- Category and market type, the measurement window, the metric definition, the provider set the prompt panel was run across, the before/after values, and the source-level work completed.
- Withheld:
- The client's name and domain, the verbatim prompt panel, and per-run answer text — the first because clients ask for anonymity, the last two because an engagement-specific panel would identify the client. Clients receive all three in their own reporting.
- Interpretation:
- Measured association after the completed work; not a guarantee that every change caused the full movement.
