Where AI search gets its answers about AI receptionists

Pages written by vendors are the biggest source in every engine.

  1. 01Vendor-written pages are the largest part of what AI cites, 74% to 91% of citations in every engine, while review sites are 0.8% or less.
  2. 02When an answer cites sources and names a company, its own site is missing from them about 2 in 3 of the time in Gemini and Claude, and less often in AI Mode and ChatGPT.
  3. 038 to 11 companies get half of all company mentions in each engine.
WHAT WE MEASURE

Every AI answer has two layers. We read both.

A / THE ANSWER

Who gets named

Which companies the engines mention for the questions your buyers ask, and how often.

B / THE FOLD

Which pages get cited

The sources behind each answer. Vendor pages, comparison lists, video, forums. This is the layer you can act on.

C / ACROSS WORDINGS

How buyers phrase it

We ask each question several ways. The wording changes the answer more than asking again does.

D / DATED

Every number has a date

AI answers change fast. Each study states when the data was collected.
