The short answer

## How does home services SEO work in Raleigh?

Ranking on Google and being named by AI are separate jobs. When we asked AI who the best home services company in Raleigh is, it named 13 businesses, and only 3 of them also appear on Google's first page. Google's first page held 9 results, and 4 of them were directories. We work on both: the page Google shows and the answers AI gives.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 13 home services companies in Raleigh. Google's first page for the same search has 9 results: 5 home services company sites and 4 directories. 3 of the 13 home services companies AI named are among them. 3 of the 3 businesses on Google Maps were named by AI. The other 10 are recommended by AI without a place on that page.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best home services company in Raleigh" 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 (for example, serviceexperts.com is Service Experts Raleigh).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### AI looks beyond Google's rankings
A strong Google position does not put your company in AI answers. Build the signals AI reads, not only the ones Google scores.
* ### Directories take space on Google
Directories take 4 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 5.
* ### Agency answers are just as scattered
AI named 16 marketing agencies, and only 1 appeared in more than one answer. Models have no settled favorite, so consistent evidence about your company can win.
