AI names were matched to Google results by business name, website domain or initials, and each match was checked (for example, beverlyhillsortho.com is Beverly Hills Orthodontics). LLMReach measurement (DataForSEO), 2026-10-28. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking differs from being named AI draws on more than Google's first page. Your practice needs a presence in the sources AI reads, not one good position. * ### Directories take space you could hold Directories take 3 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 5. * ### Repeat names are the exception Few orthodontists are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
