The map pack above is stable. Ask again next month and largely the same businesses hold the same slots. The AI assistants are not.
We asked each engine “best insurance agency near me”, geo-targeted to Hamilton, three times. Below is how many different businesses each one named, and how many survived all three answers.
This is why there is no “the agency AI recommends” on this page. Naming one would mean publishing a business the engine mentions roughly a third of the time.
| Engine | Businesses named | In all 3 answers | Overlap |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | 9 | 0 | 0.00 |
Overlap is the businesses common to all three answers divided by every business named across them. 1.00 is the same answer every time. 0.00 is nothing in common.
Across all metros: ChatGPT names nothing twice in 59 of 109, Gemini in 33 of 73. Read the full study.
