How we did it
- Local questions. Ten per category, written the way shoppers ask, each with the city in it. None names a store.
- Three assistants. ChatGPT and Perplexity were asked from the US; Google AI Mode from Boston itself.
- Local stores. The stores Google Maps lists in Boston for each category, matched by name in the answer or by a link to their site.
- One run. Answers change from day to day; this is one snapshot. No store paid to be here.
