AI Visibility Leaderboard · updated fortnightly

Australian supermarkets: who does AI actually recommend?

Every fortnight we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek the same 12 buying questions, up to 72 answers a round. There is no page 2 in AI search. This measures which brands AI puts into the buyer's consideration set, and which ones it leaves out.

The twist

Market share does not guarantee AI share.

Visibility is its own game, and it can be moved.

Do not let your competitors be the only recommendation
