About these pages

Why publish this?

Buyers now ask AI for a shortlist before they visit a website. These pages show what that shortlist looks like today: who gets named, who gets named first, and who is missing.

Is it a ranking?

No. Each page records what ChatGPT said when a buyer asked, in the order it said it. We have not tested the products or firms and make no claim about which is best.

Which engines?

ChatGPT only in this first edition, signed out, with the US as the location. Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can name different companies. Our Free AI Answer Check covers all four for your own buyer questions.
