LLMReach works on both channels so your firm shows up wherever clients look. Our own data ## What AI names vs what Google shows. AI named 10 criminal defense lawyers in Austin. Google's first page for the same search has 8 results: 5 criminal defense firm sites, 1 directory and 2 other pages. None of the 10 criminal defense lawyers AI named are among them.

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), 2026-10-28. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Google rank does not carry over Strong Google rankings do not make AI name you. Your firm needs its own work on the sources AI reads, not only on-page SEO. * ### Directories take space you could hold Directories take 1 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 7. * ### Repeat names are the exception Few criminal defense lawyers are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
