How we research

Four principles behind every report.

🧪

Real stores, real queries

We test actual retail sites against the kinds of prompts shoppers ask — not synthetic benchmarks. Every data point maps to a real buyer use case.

📐

Methodology, published

Every report includes full methodology: stores evaluated, queries run, scoring rubric, and platform configuration. Reproducible by design.

🌐

Multi-platform by default

All of our indices cover ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews at minimum — because visibility varies sharply platform to platform.

🛡️

Independent

No merchant pays for ranking. We include the brands our query set surfaces, and report what we find — including when that’s uncomfortable.
