What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking alone won't get you named AI draws on many sources beyond Google's first page. A firm can rank well and still go unmentioned, so build AI visibility on purpose. * ### Directories take space you could hold Directories take 3 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 6. * ### Repeat mentions are rare Few criminal defense lawyers are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
