One thing stands out. ChatGPT cites company sites directly: jimshandyman.com.au tops its list, so a company’s own pages decide whether it is named.

What “Top 3 in AI answers” means

Top 3 in AI answers · Findrix AI Rankings · Gemini · Handyman and home maintenance franchises in Australia · October 2026Top 3 in AI answersFindrixHandyman and home maintenance franchises in AustraliaFindrix AI Rankings · Gemini · Oct 2026

A company gets the badge when it is in the top 3 on any single engine, by how many of that engine’s answers recommend it, not just name it. The badge names the engine, so a company can hold it on Gemini and not on ChatGPT. In Australia that is Hire A Hubby, Jim's Handyman and Handyman of Australia on ChatGPT. Hire A Hubby, Jim's Handyman and Fantastic Services on Gemini. Hire A Hubby, Jim's Handyman and Handyman of Australia on Google AI Mode. 9 badges, 4 companies. A badge holder confirms its website inside the report and puts the badge on its site, and it links back to this page.

The 60 questions we asked

Every company was measured against the same 60 questions, asked the way a buyer types them, with no company name in the question. Grouped by how the question is asked: four kinds.

Use case (the job is named)

3 questions
  • Any handyman franchises across New South Wales that will put together a heap of flat-pack furniture?
  • I'm a woman living alone, so which national handyman companies in Western Australia only send police-checked workers?
  • Do any franchised handyman and home maintenance services in Australia sell a yearly membership with scheduled visits?

Alternatives (excluding the well-known)

the question asks for options outside the market leaders2 questions
  • Who are the handyman franchises in Australia that give a set arrival time instead of an all-day window?
  • Do any handyman franchises in Australia let you pay after the job is done instead of upfront?

Criterion (price, reviews, support, integration)

a plain category question with one qualifier2 questions
  • Name some franchised handyman services around Australia that will give you a fixed price from photos you send in.
  • What are the best-reviewed national handyman and home maintenance services in Australia?

Other phrasing

53 questions
  • Which franchised handyman and home maintenance services in New South Wales will re-oil and repair a timber deck?
  • Just had a knee replacement, so which handyman franchises in Victoria can fit grab rails in the bathroom?
  • Any home maintenance chains across Victoria that repair loose kitchen cabinet doors and drawers?

How we measure

Each of the 60 questions was asked once to ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode in October 2026: 180 answers. We read every answer and record which companies it names. A company’s share is the part of answers that name it. Different spellings of one company are merged into one row.

Left out: companies outside Australia, and names that aren’t handyman and home maintenance franchises. A name AI gave without a website we could find is listed without a profile.

One run per question means a single answer moves a company at the bottom of the table by a point. Treat differences of 1 to 2% as noise and the top 20 as stable.

Questions about this ranking

Why isn’t my company listed?

Either no engine named it in the 180 answers we read, or it was named and we could not match it to a website. Search the list above. If it was named, its full report is ready and you can add the website from there. If it was never named, Findrix shows what AI says when buyers ask about handyman and home maintenance franchises, which rivals it names instead, and a ranked list of fixes: the page, the edit, and the next scan ticks it off. It starts with the 7-day trial.

What is in the full report?

Everything we collected about the company: its position on each of ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode, recommended or only mentioned, its average position in the answer and what AI says about it word for word. It opens after a quick login, free, for anyone. The “Top 3 in AI answers” badge goes on the company’s site when any engine puts it in its top 3.

Why would I subscribe if I am already listed?

This page is one snapshot. Findrix is where you control and grow your AI visibility over time: your own question set, 60 to 180 questions by plan, tracked for you and your rivals.

Your site becomes a numbered plan: which page, what to change, confirmed by the next scan. A PDF report for you and your team. It starts with the 7-day trial.

Can I correct or remove my company’s listing?
