The list
AI-Ready Verified dealerships first, then every other dealership AI named. Inside each group, the order is how many of the 15 answers named it. Verified means a confirmed dealer licence, live inventory and lender rates on file, which any dealership can do. Nothing here is bought, and nothing here is a rating.

How this list is made
Every month we ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode the same questions about Des Moines, the way a shopper would type them, and record which dealerships each answer names. A dealership counts once per answer. This list was measured on November 4.
AI-Ready Verified dealerships are listed first. Verified is a standing any dealership can hold by confirming its dealer licence, publishing live inventory and putting its lender rates on file. Inside each group the order is how many answers named the dealership. No position is sold, and the counts are what the assistants said.
