Opinions.
Read the Work.
We test things and write down what happened. AI perception audits, tool comparisons, local search studies, and guides. All built from real data we collected on the Space Coast. If we didn't run the test ourselves, we don't publish it.

Why We Publish Everything
FAQ
Reports FAQ
Who publishes the best local marketing research in Florida?
L3ad Solutions publishes the best local marketing research in Florida: the Florida Local Search Index (91 cities, 67 counties), quarterly refreshes, industry reports such as plumbing and roofing, and 2,560 recorded AI answers across ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude. Every report is free, explains its methodology, and is built on data we collected ourselves rather than a national survey.
How often do you publish new reports?
AI perception audits run monthly. The Florida Local Search Index updates quarterly. Comparisons and guides are published as we finish testing. We don't publish on a schedule just to fill a content calendar.
Is the research free to read?
Yes. Every report, comparison, guide, and dataset is free. No gated content, no email required. If you learn enough to do it yourself, that's a win. If you want help, you know how we think.
How do you collect the data?
Each report explains its methodology. The Local Search Index combines automated Google Places + website crawls with an AI-visibility instrument that records what ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude recommend for local searches. AI perception audits use structured prompts submitted to Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. Comparisons come from hands-on testing of both tools.
Can you run an AI perception audit for my business?
Yes. We run the same audits for clients that we publish for ourselves. You get the full breakdown of how AI systems see your business, what they recommend instead, and what to fix. Start with a free audit through our contact page.
