Adds up to 100% of the links collected. Navy is the sites the brands own themselves. A marketplace counts as somebody else’s site, even though the listing on it is the brand’s own.

A site only makes this list if all 5 reports link to it. News, blogs, comparison, community and reference sites only: brand sites, shops and marketplaces are left out. Shares are of the links that go to those sites, so they read small.
Method

How we measure this

Nothing here is estimated, modelled or surveyed. This is exactly what we do.

The same questions
125 questions across 5 industries, asked again every day. Nothing changes between days except the answers.
3 AI tools
ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. We read every answer, one by one, instead of sampling.
Asked as real people
Every question is also asked as 3 types of buyer, because AI answers a first time buyer differently.
4 days so far
We keep collecting every day, so every number on this page moves with it.

44 companies tracked in total, across 4,556 answers. Each industry above links to its full report, live on the platform and updated every day.
