Check my AI visibilityHow this leaderboard works
Each audit asks every assistant buyer questions about the category without naming any brand, with web search on, and records which brands each answer mentions. A brand's share is the percentage of answers that mentioned it, out of the answers where we checked for it. Brands need at least four measured answers to be ranked. Only each site's latest audit counts.
AI answers vary between runs, so treat small differences as noise. Brands measured in more answers have more reliable numbers.
