Commercial Cleaning & Janitorial: AI Visibility Ranking

Field service and workforce software for commercial cleaning and janitorial companies covering scheduling, crews, and inspections. Right now, Swept is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 59 and the #1 spot in 40% of answers. Head-to-head: Swept vs Jobber →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Swept and Jobber are nearly tied with no separator in sight.

Two points separate Swept and Jobber at the top, which is close enough that model mix alone could flip the order in any given buying conversation. Jobber actually gets mentioned more often at 68% of answers versus Swept's 64%, but Swept converts that presence into first-pick status at 40% compared to Jobber's 22%, suggesting the two brands win on different terms. Below those two, Janitorial Manager holds a real third position while ZenMaid and Housecall Pro trail with thin presence and almost no top-of-list citations.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Square (4.3), mHelpDesk (4.2), Microsoft Entra ID (3.8), Google Workspace (3.3), Okta (3.3). 83 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 41/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
