Getting recommended by AI is not a single tactic. It is the cumulative outcome of doing eight things competently — and most Plumbers have only done two or three. The path is structured, sequenced, and measurable.
This is the direct answer. The longer treatment below unpacks the eight signals, sequenced by yield for this vertical — but the short version is: AI Discovery for plumbers is methodical, measurable, and addressable. There is a published methodology (The Standard™), a comparable score (the AI Discovery Score™), and a structured engagement (the Audit, the Foundation programme, and the Authority programme) for shipping the fixes.
For plumbers, here is the work sequenced by yield. Most plumbers attempt this work out of sequence — and waste budget on signals further down the list before fixing the foundations.
Foundation is the engagement that ships this playbook on this sequence. Citation Engine is the longer-horizon authority work that compounds beyond month six.
If you want a directional read on where your firm sits, run the free Visibility Check. If you want a quantified baseline, the AI Discovery Audit™ delivers it in seven days, from $800. If you want to talk through whether this work fits your firm, the 30-minute call is free.
First-order signal corrections (entity hygiene, schema, locality resolution) compound within 60-90 days. Authority signals (third-party citations, Wikipedia-class references) compound over 6-12 months. The Foundation programme is built around this timeline.
Start with the Audit. From $800, delivered in seven days. The Audit produces your AI Discovery Score™, an eight-signal breakdown, and a 90-day roadmap. If the roadmap warrants implementation, Foundation is the natural next engagement.
Yes. Invisibility is a measurable state, not a permanent one. The audit isolates which of the eight signals are causing the invisibility, sequences the fixes by yield, and the Foundation programme ships them. Most plumbers who score in band E or D after audit can reach band C within 12 months on a properly executed programme.
Published methodology (The Standard™), comparable score (the AI Discovery Score™), institutional benchmark (The Index™), credentialled practitioners (Certified™), and a constitutional charter. AI Discovery is structured to be an institution, not a vendor — which is what Plumbers actually need when committing to a 12-month programme.
The AI Discovery Audit™ delivers a 0–1000 score, an eight-signal breakdown, and a 90-day roadmap. From $800.
