The short answer

## How does orthodontist SEO work in San Antonio?

It works by treating Google and AI as two separate jobs. When we asked AI for the best orthodontist in San Antonio, it named 12 practices, yet only 2 also appeared on Google's first page. Google Maps showed 3\. Only 1 practice was named by all three AI tools. Ranking alone does not get you recommended.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 12 orthodontists in San Antonio. Google's first page for the same search has 8 results: 7 orthodontic practice sites and 1 other page. 2 of the 12 orthodontists AI named are among them. Google Maps showed 3 orthodontists; 3 of them were also named by AI. The other 10 are recommended by AI without a place on that page.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best orthodontist in San Antonio" 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, stoneoakorthodontics.com is Stone Oak Orthodontics).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Ranking does not mean being named
AI draws on many sources beyond Google's first page. Your practice needs its own plan for AI citations, not just a better position in search.
* ### Directories shape what AI cites
Several sites AI cited were directories and review platforms. Keeping your listings accurate and your reviews active gives AI more places to find and trust you.
* ### Few get named twice
Few orthodontists are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
