How this is measured
Every day we ask ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini the same fixed buyer questions about website builders, such as “What is the best website builder 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 website builders page.
