How do we work on AI answers for construction software?
Broadcastwell measures and fixes whether AI search engines name B2B software companies.
Run the free checkOur work for construction software uses one dated record as its baseline: across 150 valid construction answers captured on 22 September 2026, Procore appeared in 109 and Buildertrend in 83, out of 22 checked vendors. Each offer measures your agreed construction questions, fixes a page or source we can show sits behind an answer, and re-checks the same questions.
Updated 9 November 2026.
The engines are ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, reported one by one. No offer measures one engine alone, and nothing we do makes an engine name a construction vendor.

Where construction work starts
Reasoned. Vendor sites held 46.9% of construction citations, so work for a construction vendor usually begins on its own product, pricing and comparison pages. Review platforms held 8.8% and directories 3.0%; we read the exact construction listing an answer cited before proposing a change. None of this is a measured effect of a change.
