Named companies are the 98 counted sites whose company Google AI Mode listed in its own city's answer. Everyone else is the other 3,800, most of them in cities nobody asked AI about. Only rows with at least 8 sites behind them are shown, because one company moves a named share by about 1 point.

Method
How to check our work.
Citation
Use any figure on this page. We ask for one thing: name KKV Labs as the source and link to this page, so a reader can see the date and the method.
Download the city data (CSV). Every city, every company the answer named, and the date.
- The city sample
- 50 US cities across 30 states. Our list of managed IT companies has 900 websites in them, 2 to 40 per city, and we read 799 of those homepages. That is the sample behind the city table.
- The AI answers, and the engine rule
- One question per city, "best managed IT services company in [City, ST]", asked in Google AI Mode from a fresh logged out session on October 28, 2026. We wrote down every company the answer named, in the order it named them. A city is in the index only when it has a Google AI Mode answer. 10 more cities were asked the same question in ChatGPT only (Birmingham, Boise, Columbus, Kansas City, Louisville, Raleigh, Richmond, Sacramento, Salt Lake City and Tampa). They are left out, so every answer here comes from one engine.
- The homepage reading
- Our list of US managed IT companies was built from Bing Maps listings for "managed IT services" and "IT support" and their homepages were fetched on October 28, 2026. Of 4,473 sites we counted 3,898. 8 turned the fetch away and 543 gave back nothing we could use or could not be confirmed as the business on our list.
- What the reader reads
- The homepage HTML only: known scripts, links, markup, words and the alt text of images. A company can use a tool without it showing here, so every share is a floor. robots.txt and llms.txt were not read in this run. A site is counted only when its own words or links show IT work, which dropped 24 of 3,922.
- Named versus unnamed
- The named group is the 98 counted sites whose company Google AI Mode listed in its own city's answer and whose name matched a company on our list in the same state. The other 3,800 are everyone else. The comparison shows what the named group happened to have. It does not show why they were named.
- How a city was coloured
- By the length of the answer alone: three or more companies named is open, two is tight, one or none is tough. 49 of the 50 cities named three or more.
Caveats
What this data cannot tell you.
Read these before you quote a number from this page. They are the limits of the run, printed here so nobody has to find them later.
- A same day comparison, not a cause
- Companies get named for reasons a homepage cannot show: their Google profile, reviews elsewhere, years in town, size and who links to them. Nothing on this page is a ranking factor, and nothing on it is about the quality of any company's work.
- Named companies not on our list
- The answers gave 225 names. Only the ones that matched a company on our list could be read, 98 sites. The rest stay in the city table, which is built from names, and are left out of the named versus unnamed comparison, which is built from websites.
- Everyone else is mostly outside the index cities
- Our list covers hundreds of US cities. Most of the 3,800 unnamed sites are in cities nobody asked AI about, so they were never in a position to be named. They make the reading bigger and the comparison looser.
- Franchises and national firms
- Some named companies are franchise locations or national providers. A franchise location page is read as its own site.
- Small bases on some rows
- The named group is 98 sites, so one company moves a named share by about 1 point. Quote the shares with their site counts, and never as twice as likely.
