[See if AI names your company](https://www.llmreach.ai/industries/roofing-seo-san-francisco#book) The short answer ## How does roofing SEO work in San Francisco? It works on two jobs at once: ranking on Google and getting named by AI. When we asked AI for the best roofing company in San Francisco, it named 11 roofers, yet only 3 of them also sit on Google's first page. None was named by all three assistants. Ranking and being named are separate, so each needs its own plan. Our own data ## What AI names vs what Google shows. AI named 11 roofers in San Francisco. Google's first page for the same search has 9 results: 5 roofing company sites, 2 directories and 2 other pages. 3 of the 11 roofers AI named are among them. Google Maps showed 3 roofers; 2 of them were also named by AI. The other 8 are recommended by AI without a place on that page. What AI named All 11, from ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity 1.
