Google picks a few. * Map pack: **"best divorce lawyer in National City, California for a high-asset divorce"**. Google showed a map pack and an AI Overview above the regular results. A weak profile never gets seen. * Directories: **"best wealth management firm in National City, California for a family with $5 million"**. A map pack and an AI Overview appeared, and Yelp took the first organic spot. Directories can outrank your own site. * AI Overview: **"best periodontist in National City, California for gum disease treatment"**. Google answered with a map and an AI Overview first. The click often never reaches the ten blue links. * Local intent: **"best hair salon in National City, California for curly hair"**. A map pack led the page, with no AI Overview. For local services, the map decides who gets the call. In our check, 11 of 12 searches showed a map and 10 showed an AI Overview. Ranking now means being seen in all three places.
