How we measured this

Who tops the St. Petersburg list?

Right now, A1 Windows & Doors — recommended in every one of the 4 checks, with Karoly Windows & Doors next. The order reflects naming frequency in our checks, nothing else.

Is a spot on the St. Petersburg board for sale?

Never. The board is measured, never sold: the only way on is to be named by ChatGPT in our checks. Money cannot buy a place on this list.

What does it mean if a St. Petersburg company isn't listed?

Only that it wasn't named when we asked. AI visibility is still rare, and the next quarterly run re-measures every market from scratch.

How current is the St. Petersburg list?

The numbers on this page are from July 2026. Each quarter we re-measure with identical methodology — positions can and do change between editions.

What are impact windows, and why do people ask about them?

Impact windows — often called hurricane windows — use laminated glass and reinforced frames built to stand up to windborne debris, so a storm doesn't turn a broken window into a destroyed home. They're one of the biggest storm-protection upgrades a coastal homeowner can make, and many insurers offer wind-mitigation discounts for impact-rated windows — Florida insurers are required to offer those credits — so it's worth asking your insurer what qualifies.
