How we ran it

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews the same two questions for each category and city, worded the way customers ask, from the city’s own country.

We recorded every answer and listed the businesses each one named. Directories, review sites and marketplaces are not counted. The short overview is written from these counts only.

This shows what the assistants said on the date shown, not our own ranking or an endorsement. Answers change from week to week.

Is your business in the answer?
