# Gelbe Seiten still shows our old address in Annaberg-Buchholz, can that really affect our AI visibility?

A business in Annaberg-Buchholz has left an outdated address sitting on a secondary directory for years and wonders whether it can really outweigh its own, correct main source.

We moved within Annaberg-Buchholz three years ago, our Google profile and website have had the new address correctly entered for a long time. We've now noticed that Gelbe Seiten still shows the old address.

We assumed a single outdated secondary directory would barely register against our own, well-maintained main source. Is that true, especially with AI answers in mind?

That exact assumption is the real risk here. When sources disagree about a business, AI systems don't just decide by simple majority, they weigh things like source authority, temporal language within the text itself such as 'moved in 2023' or 'formerly located at', and how internally consistent a single listing reads.

An outdated listing can end up reading more internally consistent and confidently worded than a corrected source, and that alone can be enough for an AI to lean on the wrong information in a borderline case, regardless of how many other sources show the correct address.

Especially in a region with several parallel directories like Gelbe Seiten, Das Örtliche, or 11880, it's worth regularly and specifically cross-checking exactly these secondary sources. The business's own main channels alone aren't enough. Whether exactly this kind of conflict affects an Annaberg-Buchholz business's own AI visibility is shown by Illia BizTech's [AI Visibility Report](https://illia-biztech.de/en/ki-sichtbarkeitsbericht).
