Which brands AI assistants recommend
When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity which tool to buy, a handful of brands get named and the rest do not exist. These rankings count who gets named, per category, across real answers.
Every brand AI assistants named
Getting named at all is the whole game. The leader is named in 49 answers, the middle of the field in 6, and everything past that is a brand AI mentions once in a while.

How this is measured
VerifiedDR asks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode real buying questions on behalf of the websites it tracks, then records which brands each answer named and which domains it cited. This page counts 1,301 answers from 109 scans, one scan per website, refreshed August 4, 2026.
Only aggregates are published. The questions themselves, the answer text, and the identity of the websites that ran a scan stay private. A domain appears here only when answers from at least 3 different websites cited it, and a brand enters a ranking only when answers from at least 2 different websites named it.
