The short answer

## How does rehab SEO work in San Diego?

Ranking and being named are separate jobs, because Google and AI draw on different lists. When we asked for the best addiction treatment center in San Diego, AI named 15 addiction treatment centers and only 4 also appeared on Google's first page. We work on rankings and AI citations together, and we back the citations with a guarantee.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 15 addiction treatment centers in San Diego. Google's first page for the same search has 10 results: 8 addiction treatment center sites and 2 directories. 4 of the 15 addiction treatment centers AI named are among them. Google Maps showed 3 addiction treatment centers; 1 of them was also named by AI. The other 11 are recommended by AI without a place on that page.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best addiction treatment center in San Diego" 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, jacksonhouserehab.com is Jackson House Addiction Treatment & Recovery Center).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Ranking alone leaves you invisible
AI answers draw on many sources beyond Google's first page. A center can rank and still go unnamed, so your center needs work aimed at AI answers too.
* ### Directories compete for your searches
Directories take 2 of the 10 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 8.
* ### Repeat names are the exception
Few addiction treatment centers are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
