What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking does not mean being named A strong Google position does not put your restaurant in AI answers. Treat them as two goals, and build for the one your diners now use first. * ### Directories take the space Directories take 4 of the 8 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 4. * ### Repeat mentions set leaders apart Some restaurants are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources are what make an assistant repeat a name.
