For U.S. security companies
Is AI recommending your company — or the one across town?
In July 2026 we benchmarked 2,463 U.S. security companies by asking leading AI assistants the questions your customers ask. Only 6.3% were ever recommended. Everyone else was invisible — and their customers were sent to the companies that weren't.

security companies makes the list. We benchmarked 2,463 across 34 metros — 156 ever came up.
Every metro page on this site lists the security companies AI actually recommends — for home security and for fire alarm work. If your company is there, congratulations — that visibility is sending you customers right now, and it's worth defending. If it isn't, those customers are signing with someone else, and nothing about the quality of your installs will change that until AI can find you.
The good news: this isn't a big-budget game, and it isn't owned by the national brands. The companies winning AI recommendations are local businesses with strong reviews, clear websites, and consistent local listings — things any company can fix.

Run your free AI visibility auditQuestions security companies ask us
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 AI 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 audit 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 rankings move. The companies that stay visible keep earning the customers who ask AI first. The free audit works for you too: it shows whether your position is solid or slipping.
Is the free audit really free?
Yes. It takes about 60 seconds, and you'll see how your company shows up in AI search — no credit card, no obligation. It's run by AI Security Edge, the team behind this benchmark, and they work with security companies every day.
Why should I care what AI says?
Because your next customer is asking it. 78% of security buyers sign with the first company that responds — and when AI answers, it names a handful of companies and sends everyone else's customers to them.
One thing we'll never sell you: a spot on the list. Read how the rankings are measured — the same rules apply to everyone, including our own clients.
