Method

Category and market
SEO agencies, United States. One index is one category in one market.
Engines
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews
Questions
20 fixed buyer questions, chosen by search demand in this market. None contains a brand name. Search demand is monthly Google volume for a question an engine answers with AI — nobody publishes the number of prompts typed into an assistant, and this is the closest measured proxy.
Answers
300 asked, 276 measurable, 24 excluded.
Cited
A brand's own domain and subdomains, its listed franchise or country domains, and its exact social profiles. A retailer or directory that lists the brand does not count as the brand.
Measurable answer
An answer an engine actually produced and we could read. An engine that answered without searching, or a query where Google showed no AI Overview, is excluded — not counted as zero.
AI Citation Rate
Cited answers divided by measurable answers. The full definition.
Set version
1. Prompts, engines and the brand list are frozen between runs; any change is versioned and stated.
