How we asked
We asked ChatGPT three questions a buyer of CRM for creative businesses would ask, in the words they would use, each in a fresh chat, signed out, with “We’re in the US.” added so the answer was not local to us in Mumbai.
Each list below is the order the answer named its options, as it came: we do not re-rank, merge or add anything. Where an answer gave a table and a list, we used the order it recommended in.
One run per question. Ask the same question again and the answer can change, so read this as a snapshot of the date shown, not a fixed ranking.
This first edition covers ChatGPT only. Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can name different companies.

Questions
Is this a ranking?
No. It records what ChatGPT said when a buyer asked. We have not tested the products and make no claim about which is best.
Why isn’t my company on the list?
AI answers name the companies they can find described clearly, consistently and often, on your own site and on the pages they trust. A good product that is hard to find in that way often goes unnamed. Read how AI engines choose who to name.
Can I see how my company does?
Yes. Our Free AI Answer Check asks 10 of your buyers’ questions on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews and sends a one-page report with the three fixes that matter most, in 3 working days.
How current is this?
Every answer shows the date it was captured. When we ask the questions again, the lists and dates on this page change with them.
