Primary-source data on how roofing companies rank in Google Maps, get cited by ChatGPT, and generate inbound calls. Published so other roofing marketers, journalists, and researchers have citable numbers to work from — and so Vantrex can be verified as a serious voice in the space.
The Vantrex Research library aggregates the best available primary research on local search — from Whitespark, BrightLocal, Ahrefs, Google, and IBISWorld — into a roofing-specific lens. Everything is source-cited, dated, and updated when the underlying research updates.
A roofing-specific synthesis of the current state of local search: what actually drives Google Maps 3-pack ranking for roofers, what benchmarks separate top-3 roofers from the rest, and how AI answer engines are changing the discovery layer. Sources include Whitespark 2026, BrightLocal 2025, Ahrefs 2024–25, IBISWorld 2026, and Google’s primary documentation.

Running 100 roofing recommendation prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews weekly for 90 days. Which roofers get cited? Which sources does the model reach for? How often does the model hallucinate a company that doesn’t exist? All results published.
