Same questions, five AIs
ChatGPT named [Firm B] in six of nine answers, as often as Google. Gemini, four. Perplexity and Copilot never did.
The same three questions, asked three times each: Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity on 15 October, Gemini and Copilot on 16 October. Each AI is counted on its own, never blended. “Named first” means [Firm B] was the first firm in the answer.

Three fixes, each tied to what the answers did
What you can rely on
45 answers, 320 source links, one firm followed through every one
Four promises every finding keeps. Next to each is what it meant in this recording.
Scope. Three questions, three runs, five AIs. All 45 answers are shown above in full: Google's nine in the first explorer, the other four AIs' 36 in the five-AI section. Counts are counts, not scores.
Answers move. An earlier, smaller recording of the same questions on 14 Oct surfaced mostly directories and national firms. That's why a finding is several runs, not one snapshot, and why clients get the same questions re-run every month. After a fix, a change only counts once the search engines have re-read the page.
