Select Specialty Hospital - Columbus We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best medical clinic in Columbus" and searched Google for the same words.

AI names were matched to Google results by business name, website domain or initials, and each match was checked. LLMReach measurement (DataForSEO), 2026-10-29. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Google's first page is mostly directories Directories take 8 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 1. * ### AI cites sources beyond Google AI draws on local news, hospital sites and clinic pages. Being named means appearing across several trusted sources, not only climbing one ranking. * ### Agency names show who AI trusts When asked about marketing agencies, AI repeats only a few names. The same holds for practices: clear, consistent mentions across sources decide who gets recommended.
