How we measure it

These are not survey results. We search Google Maps for a niche in a city, pull every matching business, then visit each one's actual website and read what is there: whether a site exists, what platform it runs, whether it has analytics and security, how fast it loads, and whether it is set up to be seen by AI. Every figure is a live scan of a real business. Where a business had no website, we counted that too. Figures update as we scan additional industries and metros.
