What The Data Shows
Measured findings for San Francisco Bay Area, in brief.
In the captured checks, San Francisco Bay Area teams were named more often than individual agents (32% versus 16%). Assistants disagree here: ChatGPT search and Perplexity overlapped on only 19% of surfaced names, so which names an assistant gives depends heavily on which assistant is asked. 38 listed profiles were checked and never named, which measures AI visibility, not service quality.

Do not overstate the ranking
The Index helps consumers build an interview list. It is not a personalized fiduciary recommendation, license check, fee analysis, or guarantee of fit.
No pay-to-play rank movement
Ranking placement cannot be purchased. Lead capture, future referral relationships, corrections, and evidence submissions remain separate from scoring.
AI Visibility is a lens
AI Visibility measures findability, citation clarity, and public proof explainability. It does not replace production proof, reviews, identity clarity, or direct interviews.
