What Google shows

## Your buyers search. Google answers first.

* Dentists: **"best periodontist in Buffalo Grove, Illinois for gum disease treatment"**. Google showed a map pack and an AI Overview. A local practice site took the first organic spot.
* Lawyers: **"best divorce lawyer in Buffalo Grove, Illinois for a high-asset divorce"**. A map pack and an AI Overview appeared. A local family law firm ranked first below them.
* Real estate: **"who is the best real estate agent in Buffalo Grove, Illinois for first-time buyers?"**. Map pack and AI Overview both showed. Realtor.com, a listings portal, held the first organic result.
* Travel: **"best boutique hotel in Buffalo Grove, Illinois for a weekend trip"**. No map pack here, only an AI Overview. Tripadvisor led the organic results.

The same pattern repeats across sectors: a map pack, an AI Overview, and directories mixed in with local sites. You need to show up in all three.
