What stands out
Easy Renovation was named in all three cities: by ChatGPT each time, and by Google AI Mode for Toronto and Vaughan.
For Mississauga, Google AI Mode answered with two plumbing companies and a kitchen cabinet company, and had no names in common with ChatGPT.
In Vaughan the assistants agreed on three of five: Sosna Home Renovations, Masterpiece Renovation and Easy Renovation.
The named listings had a median of 79 Google reviews against 69 for the rest.
13 of the 30 names given were top-ranked listings in the sample, the highest share of any category.
What separates the named from the rest is what Everline’s Seven-point check looks at.
