So ranking and being named are different jobs. We work on both, and we track the AI side against your own baseline. Our own data ## What AI names vs what Google shows.

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), 2026-10-28. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking does not mean being named Most companies AI recommends are missing from Google's first page. Strong Google work alone will not get your company mentioned, so AI visibility needs its own plan. * ### Directories take space on Google Directories take 1 of the 7 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 6. * ### Repeat names are the exception Few pest control companies are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
