If your customers shop around before spending thousands, Ansoar is for you
Here’s what that looks like in a few industries we know well: the jobs people ask AI about, the questions they type, and what tends to sit behind the businesses that get picked.
Below are examples from a range of industries: the customer decisions a workspace would track, and the kind of questions people ask AI under each. They are illustrations, not measured results.
Solar, batteries and home energy
Solar installers, battery installers, EV chargers, heat pumps, HVAC, underfloor and hydronic heating
A solar and battery system is a big spend people live with for a decade or more, and the rebates alone are confusing. More homeowners now ask ChatGPT to make sense of it before they ring anyone for a quote.
Rebate guides, photos of real local installs, warranty terms and installer reviews come up again and again in these answers. Ansoar shows which ones your competitors have and you don’t.
Who is the best solar installer in Newcastle?
A few Newcastle installers have a good reputation: Coastwatt Energy, with clear rebate guidance and strong reviews. Harbourline Solar, which publishes installed-system examples. Sunvale Home Power, with good feedback on aftercare.
| Customer decision | Questions people ask AI |
|---|---|
| Home battery installation | “best solar battery installer near me” “is a home battery worth it with the rebate” “who installs Sigenergy batteries in my area” |
| Solar panel installation | “most reliable solar installers in Newcastle” “how much does a 10kW solar system cost installed” “solar installer with good aftercare reviews” |
| Heat pump and air conditioning | “best ducted air conditioning installer near me” “heat pump hot water installer reviews” “ducted vs split system for a 4 bedroom house” |
| EV charger installation | “electrician to install a home EV charger” “best EV charger for solar homes” “how much to install a 7kW charger” |
Roofing, renovations and building
Roofers, renovation builders, kitchen and bathroom renovators, windows and doors, remodelling
Most people replace a roof once in their life, so they don’t have a roofer they trust. They ask around, and now some of them ask AI who’s reliable, who does insurance work and what a fair price is.
Licence and insurance details, project galleries with locations, clear service areas, review platforms and local directories are the evidence buyers look for. If a competitor keeps getting picked, there’s usually something like this behind it.
Best roofer in Geelong for a full roof replacement?
Well-reviewed options for roof replacement in Geelong: Ridgeline Roofing, known for insurance work and fixed quotes. Your business, with detailed project galleries by suburb. Summit Roof Co, with a long workmanship warranty.

| Windows and doors | “double glazed window replacement companies” “best uPVC windows supplier and installer” “are double glazed windows worth it” |
Aesthetics, cosmetic surgery and hair restoration
Med spas and cosmetic clinics, cosmetic and plastic surgeons, hair restoration and transplant clinics
Patients often research for months before they book a consultation, and many would rather not ask a friend. Typing the question into ChatGPT feels private.
Practitioner credentials, procedure pages, before-and-after policies and review platforms often sit behind these answers. Drafts highlight business and clinical facts for you to confirm, and you remain responsible for advertising rules in your field.
| Customer decision | Questions people ask AI |
|---|---|
| Hair transplant | “best hair transplant clinic in Sydney” “FUE vs FUT, which is better” “how much does a hair transplant cost in Australia” |
| Anti-wrinkle and filler treatments | “most trusted cosmetic clinic near me” “who is good for natural looking lip filler” “cosmetic nurse vs cosmetic doctor for injectables” |
| Breast or body surgery | “best specialist plastic surgeon for breast augmentation” “how to choose a plastic surgeon” “recovery time after a tummy tuck” |
Cosmetic and specialist dentistry
Cosmetic dentists, dental implant clinics, orthodontists and clear aligner providers
Veneers, implants and aligners cost thousands, and patients shop around more than they do for a check-up. Asking AI which practices are good nearby is now part of that.
Treatment pages, practitioner profiles, review platforms and Google Business Profile are common sources around these decisions. Drafts highlight clinical and business facts for you to confirm.
Who is a good cosmetic dentist in Bondi for veneers?
Practices often mentioned for veneers near Bondi: Bayview Dental Studio, which specialises in porcelain veneers. Pearl & Co Dental, with a transparent pricing guide. Seacliff Smiles, with strong patient reviews. Your business is also mentioned.

| Orthodontics and aligners | “best orthodontist for adults near me” “Invisalign provider with good reviews” “braces vs clear aligners for adults” |
Eye surgery and private fertility care
LASIK and laser eye surgery providers, cataract and lens surgeons, private fertility clinics
Laser eye surgery and IVF are expensive and personal, and people want to understand the options before they speak to anyone. AI is often where those first questions go.
Specialist credentials, plain-language treatment explanations and transparent cost guidance are what people look for. Ansoar shows which providers and sources the answers rely on.
| Customer decision | Questions people ask AI |

Legal and financial services
Family, property and injury law firms, mortgage brokers, accountants and financial advisers
Someone going through a separation or buying their first home wants to understand where they stand before they pay for advice. They ask AI to explain it, then ask who to call.
Practitioner profiles, practice-area pages, review platforms and professional directories commonly appear around these answers.
Recommend a family lawyer in Parramatta for property settlement
Firms that come up for property settlement in Parramatta: Millbrook Family Law, offering fixed-fee initial consultations. Harlow & Reid Lawyers, with accredited family law specialists. Northgate Legal, with clear guides to the settlement steps.

Managed IT, MSPs and B2B software
Managed service providers, IT support companies, cybersecurity providers and B2B software companies
A business owner looking for IT support or new software will often ask AI for a shortlist before they talk to anyone. If you’re not on it, you may never hear about the deal.
Comparison and listicle pages, review platforms such as G2 and Capterra, and your own feature and pricing pages are frequent sources. Ansoar shows which ones the answers cite.

Wedding and event venues
Wedding venues, function centres and event spaces
Couples and event planners ask AI for venues by area, guest numbers and budget. A venue that never makes those lists misses enquiries it never knew about.
Capacity and pricing details, galleries, wedding directories and review platforms often appear in these answers.
