Why good reviews aren't enough
AI assistants don't pick the business with the most stars. ChatGPT builds most local answers from city "best of" lists and directories it finds through search, then names the businesses it can describe and confirm. A top-rated business that isn't on those lists, or whose site doesn't say plainly what it does and where, can be left out.
Method, all 14 cities and a CSV of every business each engine named: the full study. Other cities: Allen, Arlington, Dallas, Denton, Fort Worth, Frisco, Garland, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville, McKinney, Plano, Richardson.
