LLMReach measurement (DataForSEO), 2026-10-29. What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking will not get you named AI draws on many sources beyond Google's first page. Build the pages, profiles and mentions that AI reads, not just the ones that rank. * ### Directories hold half of the page Directories take 4 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 4. * ### Agencies are rarely named twice Only 1 of the 12 marketing agencies AI named came up more than once. Consistent, repeated signals across sources are what make AI repeat a name.
