[Free AI Audit](https://www.llmreach.ai/locations/raleigh#book) The problem ## Buyers ask AI first. Few names repeat. * Lawyers: **"best divorce lawyer in Raleigh for a high-asset divorce"**. Fourteen different firms were named across three assistants. Not one appeared in all three answers. * Real estate: **"who is the best real estate agent in Raleigh for first-time buyers?"**. Seventeen different agents were named. None of them was named by all three assistants. * Finance: **"best wealth management firm in Raleigh for a family with $5 million"**. Sixteen different firms were named. Zero appeared in every assistant's answer. * Home services: **"best house cleaning service in Raleigh for a deep clean"**. Eleven different companies came up. No company was named by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity together. Across 36 answers, 132 businesses were named. 98 of them showed up in only one assistant. Only 12 were named by all three.
