AI Overview10 Oct 2026

How this was measured.

Measured on 9 October 2026.
5 buyer questions, on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and AI Overview.
Asked more than once.
Each question went to each engine several times (Google AI Overview once), so the tables show rates, not one list.
Gaps stay gaps.
An answer that failed is left out of every count, never read as one that named nobody.
Every answer is here.
Quoted word for word, and in the CSV and JSON.

It is drawn from the latest ranking. When the ranking is checked again, the badge shows the new count; if your product is no longer on the list or falls below the bar, the badge stops showing a claim.
