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.
