We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews the questions your customers ask, in your city, and show you whether your business is named, who else is named, and which sources the answers drew on.
43% of sources were directories, review sites and other listings, the highest share we measured.
Collected on 12 Oct 2026. Measured on Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, in Dallas, Nashville and Boise. The full results are in Who AI assistants recommend for local services.
We track 20 questions for each business. The 10 that ask for a recommendation are the ones your figure is built from. The rest ask how to choose and what things cost — and where those name a company, it is as an example rather than a recommendation. Counting them would change your figure without changing how often you are recommended.
For family lawyers, 43% of the sources cited were places a business can be listed, reviewed or mentioned.
For family lawyers, 50% of the sources cited were businesses’ own websites.
AI assistants write a business’s name in many ways, and a consistent name is easier to recognize.
The answer changes each time the question is asked, so a reliable reading takes many answers.
