AI answers cite Yelp more than any rival directory.
In one study of 28 million AI responses to local business queries, Yelp was cited 512,680 times in late 2025, 3.4 times as often as BBB (Foundation and AirOps). Your listings are part of your answer.
- Match your name, address and phone on Yelp, Angi and BBB
- Answer the permanent lighting cost question with your price
- Put your own per-project range on a cost page
Assistants cite directory listings for local companies, and Yelp led them in one large study. Cost questions can draw on national guides. So landscape lighting AEO is two jobs: identical, complete listings on those directories, and a cost page with your own per-project and per-fixture figures. No one can promise a mention.
The cost guides an answer can draw on
For "landscape lighting cost", the national guides disagree: Angi says $2,000 to $6,000, HomeAdvisor $3,000 to $6,000, LawnStarter $2,000 to $4,500. None is local. A page that states your typical project in your town, and what pushes it up or down, is a more specific source to quote.
Answers a guide cannot give
Put the short answer first and the detail after it:
- How much is low voltage lighting installation: your per-fixture range
- How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost: one national franchise averaged $5,773 a project in fiscal 2024 (Franchise Chatter, 2025); give yours
- Is landscape lighting bad for plants: your honest answer, from your own installs

A few things you might be wondering
Which listings does an AI read for lighting companies?
One large study of AI citations put Yelp first among six directories, then BBB, Angi and Thumbtack (Foundation and AirOps, Q4 2025). Claim each one, use the same name, address and phone everywhere, and list landscape lighting as a service in the same words as your site.
Do the words in reviews matter?
Ask customers to say what you lit and where: "path and uplighting in Westfield" tells a reader, or an assistant, what you actually do. You cannot script a review, but you can ask a specific question when you request one.
Is the answer the same in every AI tool?
No. In the same study, Yelp drew 72.5% of the tracked directory citations on Google AI Mode and 62.1% on Perplexity (Foundation and AirOps). Each tool weighs sources its own way, which is why consistent listings beat tuning for one of them.
