“'Best' is the worker's judgment of limited opened evidence, NOT a verified ranking (order is not a ranking). SC LLR VERIFIED an Active Mechanical Contractor licence (#117789) for First Class Home Services LLC, and BBB (Greenville listing - NOT Simpsonville-specific, disclosed; matched by address/website) shows A rating with 0 complaints (review counts not detailed in the report - disclosed). Its own pricing page publishes an $85 diagnostic fee and repair range $150-$1,500 (SCOPED own-page figures, not a quote). NOTE: its llms.txt frames content (price list, FAQ, sample reviews) as citeable facts for AI - NO agent endpoint and NO instruction on when to recommend or how to describe - KEPT per the standing ruling (quotable-facts type), disclosed; not followed as instruction.”

“BBB A+ and accredited (Greenville listing - not Simpsonville-specific, disclosed), and an active SC mechanical contractor licence found under the LLC name (Dipple LLC #118977, Active - with the classification filter left on 'All', so the AC-specific classification was NOT checked, disclosed). CAVEATS: only 1 BBB review (NEGATIVE) and 1 complaint (thin and negative-leaning - disclosed); BBB says 7 years vs its own claim of since 1979 (CONFLICT, unresolved - disclosed); its own page prints 'License #: CLM.118627', which does NOT match LLR's 118977 (UNEXPLAINED, left open - disclosed); separate old Dipple Plumbing Inc entities show #117582 Suspended and #1093 Closed (disclosed); no published prices.”

“Its own page claims an A+ BBB rating, but BBB shows it as OUT OF BUSINESS, not accredited, with no rating and 2 complaints in 3 years (DIRECT conflict - the own claim NOT used; disclosed). It is at 401 W Georgia Rd, Simpsonville 29681. Licence check missing (cap).”

“Its own llms.txt self-describes it as a 'Lead generation site connecting Simpsonville, SC homeowners with licensed local HVAC contractors' - NOT itself a repair company (lead-gen exclusion, labeled separately from llms.txt directives); no BBB or licence lookup done.”

We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in October 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
