Research

We publish the data we run on.

This is our AI search visibility research: 25 reports, all built from our own screening rather than from a survey or a guess. Every number on them is computed from the same data files the pages render from, so a report and a page can never disagree. Free to read and free to cite, with attribution.

25 AI search visibility reports. Start with the index.

Every report is recomputed on every build from the same data files the pages read, so a figure here and a figure on a page are the same figure.

How we get the numbers

Screened, not surveyed.

How it works is the same run, done for one business, before any money changes hands.

We built a screener that opens a med spa website and records three things a machine can check without opinion: whether the homepage carries structured data, whether it declares a mobile viewport, and what year the footer claims. It has been through 1,531 sites in 245 cities across 46 states.

Separately we ask Google AI Mode who the best med spa is in each city, from a fresh logged-out session, and record the clinics it names and the date. 245 cities have a captured answer so far.

We ran the same two steps for roofing companies. Google AI Mode was asked who the best roofer is in 60 cities on September 10, 2026, and the day after we read 520 roofing company homepages to see what those sites carry. That run is the Roofing AI Visibility Index.

We ran it a third time for dental practices. Google AI Mode was asked who the best dentist is in 40 cities on September 8, 2026, and three days later we read 366 dental practice homepages. That run is the Dental AI Visibility Index.

The fourth run is personal injury law firms. Google AI Mode was asked who the best personal injury lawyer is in 60 cities on September 9, 2026 and September 11, 2026, and we read 685 personal injury firm homepages. That run is the Law Firm AI Visibility Index, and it was the first run where every city came back with three or more names.

The fifth run is chiropractic practices. Google AI Mode was asked who the best chiropractor is in 40 cities on September 8, 2026, and four days later we read 460 chiropractic practice homepages. That run is the Chiropractic AI Visibility Index.

The sixth run is HVAC companies. Google AI Mode was asked who the best HVAC company is in 60 cities, and days later we read 506 HVAC company homepages. That run is the HVAC AI Visibility Index.

The seventh run is plumbing companies. Google AI Mode was asked who the best plumber is in 60 cities, and a day later we read 409 plumbing company homepages. That run is the Plumbing AI Visibility Index, and it found the lowest named-company website resolution rate of the first seven runs.

The eighth run is electricians. Google AI Mode was asked who the best electrician is in 60 cities on October 2, 2026, and the same day we read 459 electrician homepages. That run is the Electrician AI Visibility Index.

The ninth run is plastic surgery practices, the smallest sample so far. Google AI Mode was asked who the best plastic surgeon is in 21 cities on September 8, 2026, and on October 2, 2026 we read 114 practice homepages. That run is the Plastic Surgery AI Visibility Index.

The tenth run is CPA firms. Google AI Mode was asked who the best CPA is in 31 cities on October 2, 2026, and the same day we read 307 CPA firm homepages. That run is the Accountant AI Visibility Index.

The eleventh run is therapy practices. Google AI Mode was asked who the best therapist is in 60 cities by October 4, 2026, and on October 5, 2026 we read 250 practice homepages. That run is the Therapist AI Visibility Index.

The name lists on all eleven indexes are dated snapshots of what one answer said on one day. They are not rankings, not endorsements, and not a claim about anybody's quality. Re-run the question yourself and you may see something different, which is the whole point of measuring it monthly.

Questions

What people ask about this data.

Where does this data come from?
From our own screening, run the same way for every report. We ask an AI engine the same question in each city from a fresh logged-out session, then we open the businesses it names, one by one, and read their homepages. The KKV Med Spa AI Answer Index has screened 1,531 sites and read 1,352 of them, across 245 cities. The Roofing AI Visibility Index has crawled 569 sites and read 520 of them, across 60 cities, with 277 companies named. Nothing is bought, licensed or estimated.
Which booking software do med spas use?
On the 1,352 homepages we read on September 10, 2026, 63% had online booking software we could detect. The most common were Aesthetic Record at 11%, HighLevel (CRM funnel) at 10%, Zenoti at 7%. 37% showed no booking software at all, which means the only way to book is a form or a phone call.
Does the booking software or website platform affect whether AI names a clinic?
We cannot say that from this data, and we do not claim it. The clinics Google AI Mode named did differ from everyone else on the day of the crawl. The widest gap was on this check: Google Maps or Google profile linked, at 58% among named clinics against 50% among the rest. That is a comparison on one day, not a cause. A tool you install today will not put you in an answer on its own.
Can I cite these numbers?
Yes, free of charge. Name KKV Labs as the source and link to the report page so your reader can see the date and the method. If you want the city table as a file, email us and we will send it.
Is a clinic named in the answer better than one that is not?
No, and we do not say that anywhere. The lists are a dated snapshot of what one AI answer said on one day. They are not rankings, not endorsements, and not a judgement about any clinic's work.
How often is this updated?
We re-run the checks as we screen new markets and re-check old ones. Every figure on the reports is computed from the data file at build time, so the page updates the moment the file does, and every AI answer carries the date it was captured.
Which industries do you cover?
Med spas, roofers, dentists, personal injury law firms, chiropractors, HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, plastic surgery practices, CPA firms and therapy practices today. The next industry is not decided yet. We build one industry at a time and only publish a report once we have real numbers behind it. Every report is built the same way: we capture what an AI engine answers in each city, then we crawl the homepages of the businesses it names.
