Most cited sources
The collection cites 64 domains. These are the leading ten by citing-answer count. The brand columns count answers that both cite the domain and mention the brand; they do not prove the source page discusses or endorses that brand.

All source bars use the same scale of 0 to 120 answers. Domain links open the site homepage, not an individual cited page. Answers may cite several domains and mention both brands, so columns cannot be added together.

Methodology
This report uses 120 completed shared category answers covering 20 questions answered by
ChatGPT,
Gemini and
Google AI Mode. Private project prompts and brand-specific monitoring are excluded.
All planned answers in this sample completed semantic analysis. This is a sample of AI responses, not a market-share estimate or test of product quality.
Exact-claim counts group identical extracted wording within a brand, topic and sentiment. Topic assessment counts deduplicate answers within each brand, topic, sentiment and platform. A single answer can belong to multiple sentiment groups.
- Visibility
- Distinct analyzed answers mentioning a resolved brand divided by all analyzed answers in that scope, including answers mentioning neither brand.
- Share of voice
- Brand-answer mentions divided by all resolved brand-answer mentions in the scope, including brands outside this pair.
- Average position
- Average first-appearance rank among resolved entities in answers where a saved appearance exists. Lower is earlier; this is not an explicit recommendation rank.
- Topic visibility
- Answers with an assessment of this brand on this topic divided by answers with any resolved brand assessment on this topic. Higher visibility includes negative assessments and does not imply a product strength. Topic denominators overlap and must not be summed.
- Sentiment and evidence
- Sentiment is assigned per topic assessment. An observation without a topic has no sentiment value. Quotes preserve the saved AI wording and are not independent product verification.
Numbers are rounded for display; differences use the original values.
