Method

One method for every category

Each category gets the same questions in the same three assistants, so the results compare like with like.

01

50 questions per category

Written the way shoppers ask. None of them names a brand or a store.

02

Half broad, half specific

Half are broad, like “best running shoes”. Half add a budget or a need, like “best running shoes for flat feet under $150”.

03

Three assistants

Each question is asked in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. That makes 150 answers per category.

04

Every answer read

We note each product and brand named, its place in the answer, and the sites the answer cites or links to.

Where it standsThe first edition is in preparation. We have not published any results, and this page shows none. It comes out before Black Friday, 27 November 2026.
Per category

What each category will show

Four views of the same answers, so a store or a brand can see who holds the shelf and why.

  • The products on the shelf: the products named most often, with their brand.
  • The leading brands: which brands each assistant names most.
  • Share of answers: how many of the answers name each brand.
  • Where the assistants send the buyer: the stores, marketplaces and review sites in the answers.

FAQ

About the index

When is the first edition out?

Before Black Friday, 27 November 2026. Leave your email above and we will send it to you when it is published.

Can a brand pay to be in the index?

No. The questions name no brand, and a brand appears only when the assistants name it. We do not sell placement in the index.

How is this different from the free scan?

The index looks at a whole category, across many questions. The free scan looks at your store, with questions built from your own catalog.

Will you cover my category?

The first edition covers the ten categories above. Tell us which category you would like to see next.
