For U.S. security guard companies
Is ChatGPT recommending your company — or the one down the street?
In August 2026 we benchmarked 522 U.S. security guard companies by asking ChatGPT the questions your business owners ask. Only 31% were ever recommended. Everyone else was invisible — and their business owners were sent to the companies that weren't.

Why this matters to your next contract
78%
of security buyers sign with the first company that responds. When someone asks AI, the companies it names get that first call.
31%
of U.S. security guard companies ever get named when it answers. The rest don't exist to the business owner asking.
90%
of ChatGPT's security guard recommendations went to independent local companies — not the national giants. This is winnable.
Every metro page on this site lists the security guard companies ChatGPT actually recommends. If your company is there, congratulations — that visibility is sending you business owners right now, and it's worth defending. If it isn't, those business owners are booking somewhere else, and nothing about the quality of your work will change that until AI can find you.
The good news: this isn't a big-budget game. The companies winning AI recommendations are independent local businesses with strong reviews, clear websites, and consistent local listings — things any company can fix.

How do I get my company on the list?
You can't pay us — no one can. The only way onto the list is to actually be recommended by ChatGPT when we run the next quarterly benchmark. The companies with strong reviews, a clear website, and consistent business listings are the ones AI keeps naming. The free check shows you where you stand today and what's holding you back.
I'm already on the list. What now?
First: it's real, and it's worth protecting — every edition re-measures from scratch, and the counts move. The companies that stay visible keep earning the business owners who ask AI first. The free check works for you too: it shows whether AI is naming you consistently or barely at all.
Is the free check really free?
Yes. It takes about 60 seconds, and you'll see how your business shows up in AI search — no credit card, no obligation. It's run by AI Security Edge, the team behind this benchmark.
Why should I care what ChatGPT says?
Because your next business owner is asking it. 78% of security buyers sign with the first company that responds. When someone asks AI, the companies it names get that first call, and 41% of consumers trust AI recommendations for local services as much as a personal referral. When it answers, it names a handful of companies — and sends everyone else's business owners to them.
