[See if AI names your practice](https://www.llmreach.ai/industries/therapists-seo-phoenix#book) The short answer ## How does therapist SEO work in Phoenix? It works in two layers, because Google decides who ranks and AI decides who gets named. For the search "best therapist in Phoenix", AI named 16 therapists and none of them also held a spot on Google's first page, where 9 of 9 results were directories. Ranking and being named need separate work, so your practice needs a plan for each. Our own data ## What AI names vs what Google shows. AI named 16 therapists in Phoenix.

What it means ## Three things this tells you. * ### Ranking will not get you named AI draws on different sources than Google's first page. A practice can rank well and still be missing from AI answers, so each needs its own plan. * ### Directories fill Google's first page Directories take the whole page for this search, so your own site rarely competes there. The goal is to earn mentions on the sites AI already trusts and cites. * ### Repeat mentions are rare Few therapists are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
