The short answer

## How does therapist SEO work in San Antonio?

It works in two parts, because ranking and being named are different jobs. For the question 'best therapist in San Antonio', AI named 16 therapists and only 3 of them were also on Google's first page. Google's first page held 9 results, and 3 of those were directories. LLMReach works on both, so your practice earns the Google ranking and the AI citation.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 16 therapists in San Antonio. Google's first page for the same search has 9 results: 5 therapy practice sites, 3 directories and 1 other page. 3 of the 16 therapists AI named are among them.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best therapist in San Antonio" 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, sondermind.com is SonderMind).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Google rank does not carry over
A strong Google position does not guarantee AI names you. Each AI engine builds its own list, so your practice needs work aimed at AI answers directly.
* ### Directories take space you could hold
Directories take 3 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 6.
* ### Repeat names are the exception
Few therapists are named by more than one assistant. Steady mentions across many sources make an assistant repeat a name.
