For each sector we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overview 250 questions that never name a brand, then count which brands the answers put forward and which sources they cite. Every study is a dated snapshot.
Each study shows which brands the answers named, by engine and by topic, with every question and source.
Retailers carry the shopping, service and value questions, CeraVe carries efficacy and trust, and Lush and The Body Shop lead on sustainability and ethics. Google Shopping cards and boots.com are the most cited links.
Microsoft Security is named in half of all answers and leads on fit for smaller businesses, while Palo Alto Networks leads the leadership and scale questions. Reddit and Gartner are the most cited sources.

The questions never name a brand, so a brand that appears was volunteered by the AI. Questions are written the way a buyer or shopper would ask, across topics such as reliability, value, customer service, safety and ethics, and checked so that none points to a tracked brand.
AI answers vary from run to run, so each study is a dated snapshot rather than a permanent ranking. It shows whether a brand appeared and which sources were cited, not how favourably it was described.
