We build your shop's presence for both Google and AI, then measure each one separately. Our own data ## What AI names vs what Google shows. AI named 11 auto repair shops in Boston.

Each Google result was classified as a business site, a directory or ranking, or other. AI names were matched to Google results by business name, website domain or initials, and each match was checked. LLMReach measurement (DataForSEO), 2026-10-29. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking does not mean being named AI draws on sources well beyond Google's first page. A shop that ranks well can still go unnamed, so your shop needs work aimed at AI answers too. * ### Directories crowd Google's first page Directories take 4 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 4. * ### Few names repeat across AI answers Even among marketing agencies, only a few get named more than once. Being named consistently is rare, so a shop that earns it stands out.
