The invisible leaders

Real Estate Law firms
AI names — Google can't find.

The four major assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity) named 100 firms in New York City Real Estate Law category prompts that Google Maps has never verified. Not scams. Not aggregators. Practices without a Google Places record, but real enough that the assistants keep recommending them.

Method. Every row is a firm named at least once in an assistant response for a Real Estate Law category prompt where the reverse lookup could not resolve to a Google Places record. Sample size across the run: 200 responses. Sampling and prompt design are documented on the methodology page.

If your firm is on this list

The assistants already recommend you. The map just hasn't noticed.

Get in touch and we'll send you the specific prompts you were named on, the reasoning the assistant gave, and the peers you're being compared against. Free — this is measurement, not lead-gen.
