Original Research

We test AI search. Then we publish what we find.

Most claims about AI search visibility are theory. Ours are measured. Every Lab Report here comes from real queries run against real local businesses across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity, not assumptions about how these platforms probably work.

Quarterly Report

Q3 2026 · Updated quarterly

Lab Reports

Acupuncturist placing needles

Lab Report #1

Who shows up when patients ask AI for an acupuncturist in Tampa Bay?

We tested 28 independent acupuncture practices across St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini to see who gets recommended, and who gets ignored entirely.

Published July 2026 28 practices studied 27 queries per practice

Coming next

Future Lab Reports will apply the same methodology to other Tampa Bay industries. Check back, or ask us directly if you want your industry studied next.
