Kimmel & Silverman, P.C., New York Lemon Law Firm We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best law firm in New York" 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), 2026-10-26. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking does not mean being named A strong Google position does not carry over to AI answers. Your firm needs its own work to be cited, built on the sources AI actually reads. * ### Directories take much of the page Directories take 5 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 4. * ### Agencies get named inconsistently For the best law firm marketing agency in New York, AI named 11 agencies and only 4 appeared in more than one assistant. Consistency is a gap you can close. The Citation Stack ## How we get your firm named and ranked 1. ### Prompt and keyword research We find the searches and AI questions New York clients actually ask.
