Sample: 33 assistant answers across 12 engines on 3 question phrasings, week of August 17, 2026. 29 unverifiable names (likely hallucinations) dropped.

Business links point to each company's own website — taken from what the assistants cited or wrote, and otherwise from a verified business-listing lookup that had to return this exact business by name. We never guess a domain, so a name without a link is one we could not confirm.

Asked the ways customers actually ask

The same assistants, the same week, three phrasings of one need — ranked separately. A business that wins “best” but loses “most affordable” is losing a different customer each time.

No business can pay to appear or to rank higher.
