When someone asks an AI assistant for a custom home builder in Seguin, I want to know whether TKG Custom Homes appears and what the answer says. TKG is my client. I built the site, and I check its visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity each week.
ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity named TKG in 14 of 15 weekly checks since June 28, and in each of the last 10. As of September 29, 2026.
What the weekly check actually measures
I ask each assistant the same question: “Who are the best custom home builders in Seguin, TX? List the top 3 with a one-sentence reason each.” Each weekly check is a sample from each assistant. It is a spot check, not a ranking, and it does not tell me what every person will see.
The record includes 14 checks with TKG named by all three assistants out of 15 weekly checks. The current streak is 10 weeks. On July 21, ChatGPT and Gemini left TKG out while Perplexity included it. That miss belongs in the story alongside the mentions.
I cannot use those answers to prove a particular page caused a recommendation, or that a mention led to a signed home contract. They tell me what appeared in the checks. The TKG case study shows the record and the measurement behind it.
What I changed on the website
I rebuilt the site around the questions a prospective homeowner brings to the conversation. What does the builder do? What does the work look like? What should someone understand about the process before asking about a project?
TKG’s homepage says it has 20+ years of experience, offers 7+ walkthroughs per build and was voted #1 residential home builder in Guadalupe County, 3 years running. Those are specific statements from TKG’s own site. They give the reader something more useful to discuss than a generic claim about quality.
The writing and page structure are there to help a person understand the business. Clear information also gives search tools something concrete to read. That is different from promising that a particular design or piece of markup will make an assistant recommend a company.
Google still belongs in the picture
AI mentions and Google search results are different measurements. As of September 28, 2026, TKG was in the top 3 for “custom home builders seguin tx”, “home builders seguin tx”, “custom home design seguin”, using 28-day median positions. I keep that separate from the weekly AI checks.
A useful report should let you see which result came from which source. Combining them into a single claim about being everywhere would hide the limits of both.
One person responsible for the work
I am Ryan Johnson in Seguin. I build websites and work on Google presence for owner-run businesses. I use software to help with the work, but I remain responsible for the decisions and the information I publish.
One monthly invoice, priced to your business after one conversation. No setup fee, month-to-month. You own everything I build. 90-day growth guarantee or we keep working at no added cost until it lands.
A builder is one example. The same basic questions apply to an office, a shop or another local business: can someone understand what you do, find accurate information and reach you without unnecessary steps?
If you want to look at your own site, request a free website check. I will start with what is visible and explain what I can verify. An AI mention can be worth watching without turning it into a promise it cannot support.
