Case Study: Preschool

Named in 54% of the AI answers parents actually act on.

Client anonymized. And named in none of the answers they don't act on, the ones where Google already ranks this preschool first. The gap between those two numbers is the whole case study.

54% NAMED

Ranking first is not the same as being named.

This preschool sits at Google position 1.0 on the questions parents ask about how preschool works, and AI has never once named it in those answers. On the questions parents ask about which preschool to pick, AI names it 54% of the time.

“Which one should I pick?”

31 / 96

answers to category questions name this business. Every mention it has ever earned came from a question shaped like this one.

Google puts it on page one for 8 of these, at an average position of 6.6.

“How does preschool work?”

0 / 132

answers to informational questions name this business. Not one, across four AI engines and twelve weeks.

And yet Google ranks the site at an average position of 1.0 on these same questions. First on Google, invisible to the AI.

On its strongest category question, three engines name this preschool two thirds of the time or better. ChatGPT names it once in twelve. Anyone selling you a single “AI visibility score” is averaging that gap away.

Client anonymized. Measured weekly across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google from 26 June to 14 September 2026, on non-branded questions only. The honest limits: twelve weeks is early, this is one metro market, the second category question only lands 10% of the time, and AI mentions have not trended up yet. What has moved, and kept moving, is Google.
