How is this measured?

Each week the same 5 social scheduling buyer questions are asked as written in logged-out US sessions of ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode. A brand's figure is the share of the answers that score it which name it, over a rolling four weeks. Where a name sits inside an answer is not a rank.

How we measure

Each question is asked as written, from a logged-out United States session on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode.

How is a score calculated?

On a category board, the score is the share of every valid run across that category's questions that names the brand, over a rolling four weeks, with a 95% Wilson interval. Rows are ordered by the low end of that interval, so a brand named on one question cannot outrank one named across the category. A brand named in fewer than 10 runs, or on only one question, sits below the line as low confidence. On a question page the share is of that question's runs. Where a name sits in the answer is not a rank.

Which brands count where?

Names are matched to a reviewed brand list, and a brand counts only on questions in its own category. Names that are ordinary words, such as Streak, Loops and Instantly, count only when the answer clearly means the product. A CRM named as an integration in a meeting-notes answer is not a point on the meeting-notes board. A brand named in the question itself, as in “alternatives to Profound”, is not scored on that question, so those runs count neither for nor against it. A name that is not on the list stays off the board until a person adds it.

Will this match a signed-in chat?

A logged-out session has no memory and no personalization, so a signed-in person can see a different answer.

Cited pages are the sources that engine marked as citations, not every link in the raw response.
