The short answer

## How does auto repair SEO work in Seattle?

Two jobs run side by side. We asked AI for the best auto repair shop in Seattle and it named 15 auto repair shops. Only 1 of them also sat on Google's first page for that search. Ranking and being named are separate, so your shop needs both. Directories fill part of that page, which makes your own pages and mentions matter even more. We track both results against your own baseline.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 15 auto repair shops in Seattle. Google's first page for the same search has 8 results: 1 auto repair shop site, 4 directories and 3 other pages. 1 of the 15 auto repair shops AI named is among them. Google Maps showed 3 auto repair shops; 2 of them were also named by AI. The other 14 are recommended by AI without a place on that page.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best auto repair shop in Seattle" and searched Google for the same words. 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 (for example, downtownautomotiveseattle.com is Downtown Automotive).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Google rank does not carry over
A shop can lead Google and still go unnamed by AI. Treat the two as separate projects with separate fixes and separate tracking.
* ### Directories hold part of the page
Directories take 4 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 4.
* ### Agency mentions rarely repeat
Asked for the best auto repair marketing agency in Seattle, AI named 14 and only 1 more than once. Consistent mentions are rare, so they set you apart.
