  "published_by": "OKC SEO (okcseo.media)",
  "checked_on": "2026-10-20",
  "method": "While building a directory of pet end-of-life providers we found businesses through Google Maps searches in 30 US metro areas, then read each provider's own website: the home page and up to two linked service or price pages, capped at the first 9,000 characters of text. An AI model extracted only what the text said and returned nothing when the text was silent. A small share of sites were read by a person in a browser instead. Sites that blocked automated readers, refused access or had no website are not in these counts.",
  "limits": "A missing item means our reader did not find it on the pages it read, not that the business never publishes it. The sample is businesses that appear in Google Maps results for these searches, not every provider in the country. Counts are of businesses, not of customers. Provider names are not published here.",
