Ask an AI what a soft wash costs. It quotes a national guide. Give it your numbers instead.
In one small 2026 sample of AI citations for local services, company sites supplied just 17% (Beancount, 2026). A page with no price gives an assistant nothing local to quote.
- Ranges by house size in the first 50 words
- Listings identical on Google, Yelp, BBB and Apple Maps
- Dated pages with a named author
Ask an AI what a soft wash costs and it repeats the national guides, plus the line that soft washing costs more but lasts longer. Ask who is best in town and it leans on Google and review listings. To be quoted, a house washer needs a price range near the top of the page, listings that match, and dated safety answers.
Where house washing answers come from
One write-up of 200-plus local-service citations from January to May 2026 found Google Business Profile behind 42%, aggregators such as Yelp, Angi and the BBB behind 28%, and company sites behind 17% (Beancount, 2026). The sample is small, but the profile and the listings carry real weight. Name, address and phone must match everywhere, word for word, and reviews need to be recent.
Put the price where an AI looks
Put a price range by house size and surface in the first 50 words of the cost page. Answer what soft washing is in one sentence. Say whether it is safe for a roof, and cite the roofing association. Add FAQ, LocalBusiness and Service markup that matches the page, and date each page with a named author, as the same guide advises.

A few things you might be wondering
What number does an AI give for a roof soft wash?
Usually a national one, such as $0.30 to $0.75 a square foot (Fixr, 2025), framed as costing more but lasting longer. Your local price, stated plainly on a dated page, gives the assistant something closer to home to quote.
Which listings matter most for a house washer?
Google Business Profile first, then Yelp, the Better Business Bureau and Apple Maps, each matching your site word for word. List every surface you wash as a service on the profile, post to it, and answer reviews. In that sample those sources drew more citations than company sites did.
Should the site answer whether bleach harms plants?
Yes, in one honest line: plants are soaked with water before the solution goes on and rinsed after. It is one of the first things a homeowner asks, and a clear answer on your page is easier to quote than a vague one.
