AI Search: 94% of Florida Businesses Lack Visibility
An Evoke Strategy analysis of over 28,000 Florida businesses finds that less than 6% of companies appear in AI search results, often with inconsistent information.
An analysis by Evoke Strategy, covering more than 28,000 businesses in Florida, reveals that fewer than six percent of companies are visible in AI search queries. The study, released September 16, 2026, highlights a significant gap in digital presence as consumers increasingly utilize artificial intelligence for information discovery.
The findings indicate that for businesses appearing in AI searches, results are frequently inconsistent across different platforms and in response to varying buyer questions. This inconsistency can lead to lost potential customers and diminish a company's ability to connect with its target audience in the digital sphere.
Evoke Strategy suggests the situation underscores the necessity for businesses to optimize their online presence for AI-driven search engines. Companies must ensure their data is accurate, uniform, and readily accessible to AI systems.
The analysis surveyed a broad range of Florida-based companies, and its results point to a wider challenge for businesses adapting to the evolving digital landscape. Only a small fraction of companies are fully leveraging the potential of AI search, according to the study.
