Cleveland SEO Company That Gets You Found in Google and AI Search
Rankings, Map Pack Calls, and AI Search Citations for a Metro That Lives on Two Sides of a River
Egochi is a Cleveland SEO company that respects the river because the East Side and the West Side produce different results for the same keyword, and a campaign has to pick its sides honestly or earn both. We build rankings, Map Pack visibility, and AI search citations for Northeast Ohio businesses, with $200M+ in tracked client revenue behind the method. Plans run $1,500 to $15,000 per month, scaled to how many of those markets you fight for.

One Keyword, Two Sides of the Cuyahoga, and a Ring of Suburbs
The first question Egochi asks about local SEO in this metro is geographic honesty. The Map Pack rewards proximity, so a business pinned in Ohio City will not surface for a searcher in Mentor no matter how good its reviews are, and the river is a real boundary: East Siders and West Siders see different packs, keep different loyalties, and joke about needing a passport to cross for anything they can get on their own side. The neighborhoods sort demand further, because people here search with the names they live by. Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit Shoreway, Collinwood, Little Italy, and University Circle all carry their own query patterns, and the locally relevant pages Egochi builds around genuine neighborhood coverage earn rankings a citywide template never will.
Then comes the suburbs decision. Lakewood, Westlake, Strongsville, and Parma on one side, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Beachwood, and Mentor on the other, each behaving like a separate market with its own results, and a campaign either commits to them with real coverage or leaves them out honestly. 93% of local purchases start with a search per BrightLocal's consumer survey, and in every one of those markets the business that shows up owns the first conversation. That is the demand every Egochi Cleveland SEO campaign is built to compete for.
The Hospital and Manufacturing Lanes and the Snow-Belt Deadline
Two anchor economies give Cleveland search a B2B lane most metros this size do not have. The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals sit at the center of a health economy that vets its vendors through quiet weekday research, and the Health-Tech Corridor startups around them buy the same way: capability pages, case studies, and pricing explainers read by an analyst long before any call gets returned. The manufacturing base works on the same silent-vetting pattern with different vocabulary, because the job shops, polymer plants, and tooling suppliers that still make things here win work through RFQs, and the supplier whose capability pages rank gets asked to quote. Egochi ranks clients for those searches with entity-clean service pages, comparison content, and authority signals, and one procurement decision can be worth a year of consumer leads.
The consumer side runs on the lake-effect clock, and it runs unevenly. The snow belt east of the river takes several times the snowfall of the West Side, so the first lake-effect band turns furnace failures, roof leaks, and snow removal into urgent, expensive searches on half the metro before the other, and the spring thaw hands the demand to the roofers and basement waterproofing crews that Cleveland’s century-old housing keeps busy. Rankings cannot be summoned the week the demand arrives, so winter-exposed businesses need their pages ranking by fall. AI search adds the newest layer: when Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini answers "best basement waterproofing in Cleveland" or "Cleveland SEO company," the cited sources win the click, so Egochi, an SEO company built for classic rankings and AI answers alike, structures content, schema, and entity signals to earn those citations and reports them alongside classic rankings.

Get Free ProposalWhat SEO Costs in Cleveland
Search engine optimization at Egochi starts at $1,500 monthly for single-location local campaigns, and most Cleveland programs land between $1,500 and $7,500 depending on how much of the metro you compete for and how contested your category is. Legal, medical, B2B, and multi-location scopes run toward $7,500 and up. Every tier is published before the first call.
There are no setup fees, plans run month to month with no long-term contracts, and the free audit ends with a fixed quote, not a range that grows later. If a smaller scope would honestly serve you better, Egochi, a Cleveland SEO company that publishes its pricing, says that in the audit too.
Cleveland SEO Services
Search Campaigns Built Market by Market Across Greater Cleveland
Every campaign below runs on the same discipline as our national SEO services: one page per intent, technical work first, content buyers actually search for, and reporting tied to tracked calls instead of positions alone.
-
Local SEO and Map Pack Visibility
Egochi manages Google Business Profiles, review programs, citations, and locally relevant pages that earn Map Pack calls in the parts of the metro you actually serve. Proximity decides much of the pack, so we are honest about whether your pin can reach across the river, and Egochi builds service-area coverage for the rest.
-
Keyword Research and Strategy
Egochi maps keywords market by market across Greater Cleveland: what Tremont types, what a Westlake homeowner types, what a hospital-system procurement desk or a plant manager sourcing a supplier types, and which of those searches your business can realistically win this year. The plan names targets, competitors, and expected timelines before any content gets written.
-
On-Page SEO and Content
Egochi writes service pages, neighborhood pages, and cost explainers that answer the exact questions Cleveland buyers ask, with titles, headings, and internal links tuned page by page. Every page targets one search intent, so your own pages compete with the market instead of with each other.
-
Technical SEO
Egochi handles crawlability, site speed, Core Web Vitals, schema, and index management. Contested Cleveland categories leave no room for a slow or messy site, and technical debt quietly caps what every content dollar can earn, so this work runs first and stays maintained.
-
Ecommerce SEO
More Northeast Ohio manufacturers and shops sell direct every year, and Egochi builds the ecommerce rankings that make it work: product schema, category structure, and pages that earn non-brand searches from buyers far outside Cleveland.
-
Content Writing
Egochi writes plain, proof-first service pages and explainers for a market that distrusts hype, each page answering one Cleveland search intent in words a reader can check.
-
Link Building and Authority
Egochi earns links from real publications, industry sites, and local sources that actually get read, never bought networks. In categories where national lead sellers crowd the results, authority is the difference between page one and page three, and it compounds monthly.
-
AI Search Visibility
Egochi builds answer-first content structure, entity signals, and schema so Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini can cite your business when Cleveland buyers ask for the best option in your category. Reported monthly alongside classic rankings, because both now carry demand.
-
Google Advertising
SEO compounds while paid search captures Cleveland demand today, and the two sharpen each other on shared data. Egochi is a certified Google Premier Partner managing Search, Performance Max, and Shopping campaigns for Northeast Ohio businesses, with keyword, negative, and conversion data moving between ads and SEO so neither channel pays to relearn what the other already knows.
-
Franchise SEO
Egochi structures franchise SEO around the East Side and West Side split, with location pages and per-store profiles built so each unit wins its own side of the Cuyahoga instead of averaging across the metro.
-
Enterprise SEO
The health systems, banks, and industrial companies headquartered here run sites where SEO is an engineering problem. Egochi builds hub-and-spoke architecture across service lines, runs log-file crawl analysis to see what Googlebot actually fetches, and reports in the revenue language a C-suite reads.
-
International SEO
Northeast Ohio exports healthcare expertise and manufactured goods, and the buyers search from other countries in other languages. Egochi builds hreflang architecture, country targeting, and market-by-market keyword research so a Cleveland supplier or health-sector vendor ranks where its next contract actually lives.
Common Questions About Cleveland SEO
-
How much do SEO services cost in Cleveland?
SEO services at Egochi start at $1,500 monthly, with most Cleveland campaigns between $1,500 and $7,500 depending on how much of the metro you cover and how contested your category is. Legal, medical, and multi-location scopes run higher. There are no setup fees, plans run month to month, and every tier is published on our SEO pricing page before the first call, which is rarer in this market than it should be.
-
How long does SEO take to work in Cleveland?
Egochi's Google Business Profile work usually shows Map Pack movement in 4-6 weeks. New content starts ranking for long-tail and neighborhood searches in 2-3 months, and competitive head terms in categories like legal, HVAC, and medical take 6-12 months of steady work. Winter-exposed trades should count backward from the first lake-effect band and start by late summer.
-
Is SEO worth it for Cleveland small businesses?
Usually yes, because local SEO results are proximity results: a Tremont shop competes for searches within a few miles, not against the whole metro. Profile quality, reviews, and genuine neighborhood pages decide those results, and small businesses that work them beat bigger names in their own areas daily. The honest exception is a business that needs leads this week, which paid ads serve better first.
-
Do Cleveland businesses need to think about AI search yet?
Yes, and the vendors selling into the Clinic and University Hospitals economy most of all. AI Overviews and ChatGPT already answer Northeast Ohio service and supplier questions, and the sources they cite are the same structured, well-linked pages that rank in Google. Egochi's generative engine optimization work makes those citations part of the same program, not a separate bill.
-
Who is the best SEO company in Cleveland?
The honest answer depends on your category and budget, and this market has a deep local bench. Vet any Cleveland SEO company on four things: published pricing, proof you can verify, a straight answer about where its team sits, and reporting tied to calls rather than positions alone. Egochi, an SEO agency doing this work since 2014, publishes its pricing up front and carries 250+ Google reviews at a 5.0 rating.
Industries We Serve in Cleveland
Egochi provides Cleveland SEO services across the industries that carry the Northeast Ohio economy. Every claim below names its register-backed engagement and data source.
Cleveland Ecommerce SEO
More Northeast Ohio manufacturers and brands sell direct every year, and product searches are a national fight. Egochi is a certified Shopify and BigCommerce partner: product schema, faceted-navigation control, and comparison content carried Grown Brilliance to 160K+ organic visits.
Cleveland Real Estate SEO
Brokerages here sell two markets at once, East Side and West Side, and list with heavy imagery that punishes page speed. Egochi’s real estate SEO work pairs neighborhood-level content with Core Web Vitals repair: Corcoran Group’s LCP went from 3.4s to 2.1s while organic traffic grew +120%.
Cleveland Healthcare SEO
In a Clinic and University Hospitals town, independent practices compete with some of the strongest health-system domains in the country for patient searches. Egochi runs HIPAA-aware healthcare SEO programs: condition and treatment pages with one intent each, local signals per office, and review velocity that earns the trust patients check first.
Cleveland Legal SEO
Cuyahoga County injury and family terms are defended by established firms and national lead sellers, which makes structure decisive. Egochi provides SEO for lawyers that rebuilds practice-area pages, tunes the Google Business Profile, and runs review programs. Culbertson Law grew qualified calls +91% with signed cases up from 8 to 41 monthly.
Cleveland Financial SEO
Cleveland’s banks, credit unions, and advisory firms compete for clients who verify before they call. Egochi builds the authority content and review signals that verification rewards. Our financial SEO work pairs that authority with clean local signals, the approach behind the Bank of Sun Prairie engagement in our published portfolio.
Cleveland Restaurant SEO
Restaurant groups from Ohio City and Tremont out to the suburbs fight a Map Pack battle at every address, on whichever side of the river it sits. Egochi’s restaurant SEO work gives each location its own page, profile, and review program: Mellow Mushroom grew local traffic +312% with online orders up +245% across its stores.
Cleveland Searches Increasingly End in an AI Answer
AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity answer Northeast Ohio questions directly, from basement waterproofing on the East Side to which supplier a hospital system should shortlist. Egochi, a Cleveland SEO agency, builds the signals those engines cite.
-
Answer Engine Visibility
Egochi builds answer-first pages inside your Cleveland SEO services, stating the response in the first sentence and structuring content the way AI systems quote sources, so the same work earns Google rankings and AI citations together.
-
Entity and Schema Signals
Egochi keeps your entity data consistent across your site, your Google Business Profile, and the wider web, with schema that spells out services and service areas, so AI engines can name your business with confidence on either side of the river.
-
Vendor Research Now Runs Through AI
The analysts vetting suppliers for the Clinic and University Hospitals economy ask AI assistants for shortlists, and the cited sources get the RFQ. Egochi tracks which of those answers name your company and reports it monthly.
Egochi Manages Cleveland SEO Through Its Proprietary VERTEX Search™ System
VERTEX Search™ is Egochi’s proprietary SEO methodology, custom built in-house since 2014 and run on every Cleveland engagement. The complete system carries 18 documented steps; the wheel below shows the eight ranking moves Cleveland clients see. A generic checklist reads the East Side and the West Side the same; this system was built to rank businesses before the season that decides their year.
1
Step 1: Audit and Discovery
Egochi audits your site, your Google Business Profile, and your competitors, then puts the baseline in writing: what you can win on your side of the river, what it costs, and how long it honestly takes.
Step 2: Market and Keyword Mapping
Keywords mapped across the East Side, the West Side, and the suburbs ring, with an explicit decision about which of those markets your campaign genuinely fights for.
Step 3: Technical Foundation
Site speed, Core Web Vitals, crawlability, and index management fixed first, because technical debt quietly caps what every content dollar can earn.
Step 4: Architecture and Schema
Service-page and location-page structure, internal linking, and entity-clean markup decided up front, so a Lakewood page and a Mentor page never cannibalize each other.
Step 5: Content Production
Service pages, neighborhood pages, and answer-first explainers for the questions Cleveland buyers actually type, in plain language your customers and AI answers can both quote.
Step 6: Local Signal Building
Google Business Profile work, review velocity, and citations run weekly, the inputs that decide Map Packs from Ohio City to Shaker Heights.
Step 7: Authority and Links
Editorial links from Cleveland media, chambers, and the trade press the health and manufacturing lanes already read, never bought networks.
Step 8: Reporting and Adjustment
Rankings, Map Pack positions, tracked calls, and AI citations checked against the plan monthly, timed so winter-exposed pages are ranking before the first lake-effect band.
Led by Jobin John, Founder and CEO
Jobin founded Egochi in 2014 and directs strategy for every Egochi engagement, including the Cleveland work run from 200 Public Square. He leads every flagship SEO engagement personally, and when you request an audit, the plan that comes back is built by the team he trained, not passed to a reseller.
VERTEX Search™ is not a template wearing a new name. Egochi built the method, documented it inside the EGOCHI VERTEX™ Growth System, and any month of Cleveland work can be checked against it.
Tools and Technologies We Use
Egochi runs professional-grade tools on every Cleveland SEO services engagement, so each ranking claim in your report traces to a data source you can open yourself.
Analytics and Performance Tracking
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4) – Conversion tracking and attribution for Northeast Ohio traffic, from snow-belt emergency searches to the quiet vendor research the hospital economy runs
- Google Search Console (GSC) – Keyword performance, index coverage, and the query data every monthly report is built on
- CallRail – Phone call tracking that ties calls to the rankings and pages that produced them
- Hotjar – Session recordings and heat maps that show where visitors hesitate before they convert
SEO Research and Intelligence
- SEMrush – Keyword research, rank tracking, and competitor analysis across both sides of the river and the suburbs ring
- Ahrefs – Backlink analysis and content-gap discovery against the directories and health-system domains holding page one
- Screaming Frog – Technical crawls that surface the indexing and architecture problems capping rankings
- Google Keyword Planner – Search volume and seasonality data, including the lake-effect demand curves half the metro runs on
Local SEO Management
- BrightLocal – Citation building and local rank tracking market by market, on both sides of the Cuyahoga
- GMB Crush – Google Business Profile tuning, post scheduling, and Q&A management
- Moz Local – Listing distribution, duplicate suppression, and NAP consistency monitoring
- ReviewTrackers – Review monitoring and response management across the platforms Cleveland buyers check
Technical Optimization
- Google PageSpeed Insights – Core Web Vitals monitoring (LCP, INP, CLS) on real connections, not lab-only scores
- GTmetrix – Performance testing and waterfall analysis that finds what actually slows your pages
- Schema Markup Validator – Structured data testing for LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, and Product schemas
- Mobile-Friendly Test – Mobile usability verification and mobile-first indexing compliance
Every tool in the stack earns its place by producing data we act on, and Egochi pairs the automated collection with human analysis, because a Northeast Ohio campaign is judged in calls and booked work, not dashboards.
How We Improve Your Search Visibility in Cleveland
A Cleveland SEO company has to win more than one surface, because Northeast Ohio buyers check several before they call. Egochi’s approach focuses on:
Authority You Can Audit
Domain Authority is a Moz score and Domain Rating an Ahrefs score; Google uses neither, so we treat them as thermometers rather than targets. The real work is link acquisition you can inspect: editorial mentions from Cleveland media, chambers, and the trade press the health and manufacturing lanes already read, with every referring domain named in the monthly report.
User Experience Signals
Google rewards pages that load fast, render stably, and answer the query, and we will not pretend it ranks on bounce rate or dwell time. Egochi tunes speed, Core Web Vitals, and conversion paths so a homeowner comparing contractors from a phone in Lakewood or a procurement desk reading capability pages in University Circle finds what they came for and acts.
Search Intent Matching
Someone searching “emergency furnace repair Cleveland Heights” needs a phone number tonight; someone searching “how much does basement waterproofing cost” is still researching. Egochi reads what the live SERP rewards for each query and maps every page to one intent, which is how a page earns its ranking and keeps it.
Technical Foundation
Clean architecture, crawlable URLs, working schema, and mobile-first pages are the floor rankings stand on. Egochi audits with Screaming Frog and Search Console, fixes what blocks crawling and indexing, and keeps Core Web Vitals passing so nothing technical caps the content.
What Actually Moves Rankings in Cleveland
Egochi tracks your positions for target keywords weekly across Google and Bing and adjusts the work to hold top placements for the queries that produce revenue in this market.
- Map Pack wins through complete Google Business Profile management, review velocity, and genuine neighborhood pages that give proximity something to rank on whichever side of the river you serve
- Prominence via Cleveland media coverage, chamber and industry directories, and the trade press the health economy and the manufacturing base already read
- Experience signals with author bylines, register-backed case studies, published pricing, and business details a skeptical buyer can verify line by line
- Speed and UX with Core Web Vitals kept green on real phone connections, click-to-call and directions one tap away, and pages that convert the visit Google sends
Why Choose Egochi As Your Cleveland SEO Company
Campaigns That Pick Their Side of the River Deliberately, Content Buyers Actually Search For, and Reports That Name the Calls
Plenty of agencies will sell Cleveland businesses a metro-wide SEO package with one keyword list and a skyline photo. Egochi, a Cleveland SEO agency, builds search campaigns for how Northeast Ohio actually behaves: two sides of a river with separate results and stubborn loyalties, neighborhoods that search by their own names, hospital systems and manufacturers that research vendors in silence, a snow belt that sets ranking deadlines for half the metro, and AI answers that now sit above the results everyone fights over.
From Ohio City storefronts to the suppliers quoting work for the big systems, your customers are already searching. What that means for SEO:
- 93% of local purchases start with a search per BrightLocal, and in most Cleveland service categories the Map Pack gets the first call, which makes proximity, reviews, and profile quality the local SEO battleground.
- The metro splits hard at the river: East Side and West Side searchers see different results for the same keyword and rarely cross for everyday services, so coverage is a decision, never a default.
- Winter is a deadline that lands unevenly. The snow belt east of the river takes the first lake-effect band hardest, and the furnace, roof, and snow-removal businesses that win those searches were ranking by October.
-
Campaigns Mapped to the Sides of Town You Actually Serve
Egochi builds keyword research here market by market: the West Side, the East Side if you genuinely serve it, the neighborhoods that search by name, and an explicit call on Lakewood, Parma, the Heights, and the Lake County corridor. Each market gets its own pages and its own line in the report, so you can see where the calls actually come from.
-
Map Pack Work That Respects the Proximity Math
Egochi tells you plainly which parts of the metro your pin can win and which it cannot, then builds the Google Business Profile program around that truth: categories, services, photos, posts, review velocity, and locally relevant pages. Where you genuinely serve a wider radius, service-area pages do the reaching, honestly labeled and written with real local specifics rather than a find-and-replace city name.
-
Content That Answers What Buyers Type
Cleveland buyers research hard before they call: cost questions, comparison questions, is-it-worth-it questions, and every winter, a wave of how-bad-is-it questions about roofs, furnaces, and wet basements. Egochi writes service pages and explainers that answer them directly, in plain language, with the page structure search engines and AI answers can quote. No filler posts, no keyword stuffing, no content mill under your name.
-
AI Search Citations Reported Alongside Rankings
When AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini answers a question in your category, Egochi wants your business in the citations. Entity-clean pages, schema, and answer-first structure are built into every Egochi campaign, and the monthly report tracks where AI answers cite you, because a growing share of Cleveland searches ends without a classic click.
-
Technical Work That Holds Up Under Scale
Fast pages, clean architecture, correct schema, and Core Web Vitals that pass on real phone connections. For multi-location operations across Northeast Ohio, Egochi handles the location-page structure and internal linking that keep the two sides of the river and the suburbs from cannibalizing each other, which is where most multi-location SEO in this metro quietly fails.
-
Published Pricing and No Setup Fees
SEO plans at Egochi start at $1,500 monthly with every tier published up front, and the audit ends with a fixed quote, not a range that grows later. If SEO is not the right spend for your situation yet, the audit says so instead of taking the fee.
Egochi is your partner for turning Cleveland organic search demand into tracked calls, booked work, and revenue, one market and one keyword cluster at a time.

Is Egochi the Right Fit for Your Cleveland SEO Plan
Who this is for
- You run a service business, practice, firm, or store anywhere in Greater Cleveland and want rankings that produce tracked calls and booked work, not a monthly PDF of positions.
- You compete in a contested category, legal, medical, home services, or the B2B lanes that sell into the hospital systems and the manufacturing base, and want a search engine optimization campaign that picks its markets deliberately instead of one metro-wide keyword list.
- You want an SEO agency with pricing you saw before the first call, fair terms, and a report you can verify line by line in your own Search Console.
When we may not be the right fit
- You need leads this week. SEO compounds over months; if the need is urgent, paid ads carry the front while the rankings work builds, and we will say exactly that in the audit.
- You want promised rankings. Nobody honest controls Google, and in contested Cleveland categories anyone promising position one is selling the promise, not the work.
- Your budget sits under the realistic floor for your category. A few hundred dollars a month cannot out-build firms investing thousands, and the audit will say so rather than take the fee.
Fair Questions Cleveland Owners Ask About SEO
Can one campaign rank on both sides of the river?
Not from one pin, and anyone who promises otherwise is ignoring how the Map Pack works. Proximity is a heavy ranking factor, the Cuyahoga is a real boundary in the results, and each side keeps its own pack and its own loyalties. What an Egochi local SEO campaign can do is win your genuine radius, build honest service-area pages for the side you actually reach, and expand market by market as authority grows. The report shows it side by side.
Does SEO still matter now that AI answers many searches?
More than before, because AI answers are built from the same pages classic rankings reward. When ChatGPT or an AI Overview recommends businesses, it cites sources, and the businesses with clean entities, answer-first pages, and real authority are the ones cited. Egochi treats AI citations as a reported outcome alongside rankings, and the same disciplined work earns both.
Why does a competitor with worse reviews outrank us?
Usually structure, not luck. A competitor with dedicated service pages, a fully built Google Business Profile, faster pages, and steady review velocity beats a better business with a thin site in most Cleveland categories. The Egochi audit names exactly which of those gaps apply to you, in plain words, and the campaign closes them in order of impact.
When should a winter-exposed business start SEO?
Counting backward from the first lake-effect band, which usually means starting by late summer. Furnace, roof, and snow-removal rankings cannot be summoned in December; the pages, reviews, and authority that win those searches take months to build, and the companies at the top of the winter results earned the position in the fall. Starting late does not make SEO pointless, it just means paid ads carry the first season while the rankings work compounds.

More Answers About SEO in Cleveland
Do you follow Google's guidelines?
Yes, entirely. No bought link networks, no doorway pages, no AI-spun filler published under your name. Shortcut tactics in a market this visible get caught, and the penalty costs more than the shortcut ever earned. Everything Egochi builds is work you could show a Google engineer without flinching.
What do you need from us to start?
Access, not homework: Google Business Profile, Search Console, Analytics, and your website. The Egochi audit runs from there. After kickoff we need a subject-matter check on drafted content, usually under an hour a month, because pages about your work should sound like your work.
Do you write the content or do we?
We do, with your review. Egochi writers draft service pages, neighborhood pages, and explainers from keyword research and an interview with your team, you correct anything that reads wrong, and nothing publishes without your sign-off. If you have in-house writers, we can plan and edit instead; the structure matters more than who types.
Can you handle multiple locations across Northeast Ohio?
Yes, and the structure is the hard part. Egochi gives each location its own page and profile program, internal linking keeps the markets from competing with each other, and reporting splits by location so a strong Westlake store cannot hide a struggling Mentor one. Franchise and multi-location work runs on the same published tiers.
What happens if we stop?
Plans carry no long-term lock-in, so stopping takes notice, not negotiation. Everything built stays yours: the content, the pages, the profile work, and the authority they earned. Organic rankings do not vanish on cancellation, though in contested categories they erode over time as competitors keep building.
Do you report on AI search visibility?
Yes. The monthly Egochi report tracks where Google AI Overviews and AI assistants cite your business alongside classic rankings, Map Pack positions, and tracked calls. A growing share of searches ends in an AI answer, and a report that ignores them is measuring last year's search market.
