The short answer

## How does electrician SEO work in Chicago?

It works on two fronts at once, because Google and AI return different lists. When we asked AI for the best electrician in Chicago, it named 11 electricians, but none of them sat on Google's first page. Ranking and being named are separate jobs, so we build for both and measure each one against your own baseline. Google's first page for that search showed 8 results, 2 of them directories.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 11 electricians in Chicago. Google's first page for the same search has 8 results: 4 electrical contractor sites, 2 directories and 2 other pages. None of the 11 electricians AI named are among them. Google Maps showed 3 electricians; 3 of them were also named by AI.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best electrician in Chicago" 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. LLMReach measurement (DataForSEO), 2026-10-28.

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Ranking and naming are separate
AI reads sources beyond Google's first page. Your company also needs the pages and mentions AI actually draws on.
* ### Directories take space on Google
Directories take 2 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 6.
* ### Few get named twice
Few electricians are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
