Ask AI for motorcycle shops in Hitchin,
and you get a different answer than Google gives you.

We put the same question to ChatGPT and Google Gemini, and compared their answers with the businesses actually ranking in Google search for Hitchin. The two lists barely overlap — and the two AI assistants didn't name a single business in common.

  • driiftcustoms.co.uk
  • jsaccessories.co.uk
