First snapshot — movement appears next week
Who owns the answers

pexo.ai is the page engines cite for 2 of the top 10 — and isn’t on the board at all.

Sources for: Pika, Luma. 4 of the top 10 are sourced from their own site.

Also named — too few answers to rank (under 6/60)

Named ≠ cited

“Named” is the share of the 60 answers that recommend the product by name, with a 95% interval — read #14 as “a handful of answers”, not a position. “Own site cited” is the share where the product’s own domain was a source. The page column is where the engines actually got their answer — attributed per product, from the citation the answer attaches to it.

How it’s measured

Every week we ask 10 buyer questions to 3 engines, multiple runs each, through their official APIs. Products are extracted from the answers themselves and folded to one row per product (plans and tiers are not separate products). Products under 6 answers sit in “also named” — their positions aren’t distinguishable on this sample.

Can’t be bought

No sponsored rows, featured slots or paid placements — ever. The only way up is to be the answer. Run the check on your domain to see which answers you’re missing from, and why.
