How is this ranking measured?
Every two weeks we ask 40 real buyer questions to ChatGPT (gpt-4o-mini with web search), Perplexity (sonar) and Google search with AI Overviews, and record which tracked tools each answer names and in what order. Share is the percentage of answers that name a tool. Nobody can pay to appear or rank higher.
