Every day we ask ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini the same fixed buyer questions about accounting software, such as “What is the best accounting software for a small business? Name specific products.”, and record which brands each answer names. A brand counts once per answer. No brand pays to appear, and answers are not edited. The method and every question are on the accounting software page.
