It works on two fronts at once, because ranking and being named are separate jobs.

Our own data ## What AI names vs what Google shows. AI named 12 auto repair shops in Austin. Google's first page for the same search has 8 results: 3 auto repair shop sites, 4 directories and 1 other page. None of the 12 auto repair shops AI named are among them.

What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking alone leaves you invisible AI draws on sources well beyond Google's first page. A shop can rank well and never be named, so your shop needs work aimed at AI answers directly. * ### Directories take much of the page Directories take 4 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 4. * ### Few get named twice Few auto repair shops are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
