Which search to model the page on

What kind of pages hold the top 10 for each target. A search dominated by Google's own tools, directories or articles is not a "hire us" search, however commercial the words sound.

Search	Service Page	Article	Platform	Directory / List	This Site
dental cleaning near me	6	0	0	4	0
teeth cleaning alpharetta	10	0	0	0	0	Model

Modeled on "teeth cleaning alpharetta", not "dental cleaning near me". Its results are real service pages from businesses like ours, so the brief copies what wins there. "dental cleaning near me" is still targeted in the title and headings, but 4 of its top 10 are directories and forums, so most people searching it are not looking to hire.

What Google rewards for "teeth cleaning alpharetta"

The format that wins matters more than any word count.

AI-citation teardown: what the cited pages actually do (29 pages, October 25, 2026)

The AI-cited pages like ours have almost no links to the page itself (median 0 referring domains, max 3159): AI picks them on what the page says plus the domain, not on page-level links.
Question-form headings: organic top 3 4, AI-cited pages like ours 1; this page 0.
Bulleted / numbered lists (3+ items): organic top 3 13, AI-cited pages like ours 8; this page 2.
Schema Dentist: organic 2/3, AI-cited 15/28; this page has none.
Schema GeoCoordinates: organic 3/3, AI-cited 14/28; this page has none.
Schema PostalAddress: organic 3/3, AI-cited 16/28; this page has none.
