LLMReach measurement (DataForSEO), 2026-10-26. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### A Google rank is not enough AI draws on sources beyond Google's first page. Build a presence on the sites AI cites, not only good rankings. * ### Directories hold part of page one Directories take 4 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 4. * ### Some agencies get named twice Even marketing agencies are named inconsistently across AI tools. Your company should aim to be recognized by each tool.
