What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Google's first page is mostly directories Directories fill the page for this search, so a practice website rarely competes there directly. Build your listings and reviews on those directories while strengthening your own site. * ### AI cites hospitals and review sites AI drew on health systems, local news and rating sites. Earning mentions on sources like these opens a path your website cannot create alone. * ### Agencies get named by AI too Asked for the best healthcare marketing agency in Chicago, AI named 12 and 5 appeared in more than one answer.
