How this index works
This index tracks which companies appear in AI-generated answers across major AI engines. Each week we run a structured set of prompts related to this industry and analyze the responses returned by AI systems.
Key characteristics
- Grounded AI responses are prioritized when available
- Multiple engines are tested
- Rankings reflect frequency of appearance across tested prompts
Example prompts
Category-specific prompts are executed weekly. Prompts are designed to reflect real-world search and recommendation queries. Each prompt asks AI systems to recommend vendors or solutions for this industry vertical.
- “Who are the top providers in my area?”
- “Best companies for my needs”
- “Recommended firms near me”
AI Recommendation Rate
Calculated as the percentage of total responses in which a brand appears. For example, if a brand appears in 16 out of 16 responses, its recommendation rate is 100%.
Results update weekly.
This index reflects AI recommendation visibility—how often brands appear in AI-generated responses—not sponsorship or paid placement.
