LLMReach measurement (DataForSEO), 2026-10-28. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking alone won't get you named AI draws on sources beyond Google's first page. A firm can rank well and still go unmentioned, so it needs its own work to earn AI citations. * ### Directories hold space you could use Directories take 2 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 6. * ### 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.
