In this episode of Peter Lohmann’s Podcast, I sit down with Matt Speer of PropertyManagement.com (yes, greatest domain ever) to unpack their “TrueMatch” score, or what Matt calls the “Carfax of property management.”

We talk about why credibility is the new currency, how AI search like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews are changing local lead flow, and what it takes to get your company verified without paying a dime. Matt also reveals new details on their Top 100 Property Managers campaign.

Here’s what we go deep on:

🔎 How the TrueMatch scoring model works by looking at performance, trust, experience, and verification

🤖 The AI search shift and why zero-click results are pulling away the “best property manager in [city]” leads that used to land on your site

✅ How verified profiles and owner survey data can help you close faster and keep more clients

🚫 Why PropertyManagement.com refuses to be a pay-to-play lead gen marketplace and what their actual monetization looks like

🌍 If you’re in multiple markets, how the system creates city-specific scores instead of lumping you under one grade.
