AI SEO Houston
Houston buyers ask AI. Does it name you?
We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity ten questions Houston buyers ask. The answers barely agree. Here is what they said, and how LLMReach gets you named.
What we measured
Three assistants, three different shortlists
- Cars: “best Toyota dealership in Houston”. Nine different dealerships were named. Not one appeared in all three assistants.
- Dentists: “who is the best family dentist in Houston that takes new patients?”. Sixteen different dentists across three assistants. None made all three lists.
- Home services: “best HVAC company in Houston to replace a central AC unit”. Nine HVAC companies were named. No company was recommended by all three assistants.
- Lawyers: “which immigration law firms in Houston handle H-1B and green card cases?”. Sixteen firms were named. Zero firms showed up in every assistant's answer.
Across 30 answers, the assistants named 126 businesses. 98 of them, or 78%, were named by only one assistant. Only 8 appeared in all three.
