What you get

Early findings from our June 2026 study

From SearchIntel's grounded measurement of six AI platforms on 100 neutral UK buying questions across 10 verticals. Read the full study.

46.1%

Brands named by only one platform

Of 1,198 brand recommendations the six platforms made, nearly half came from a single platform. AI visibility is six readings, not one figure to track.

5.3%

Brands named by all six platforms

Only one in twenty recommended brands shows up everywhere. Win on one platform and you can be completely absent on the other five.

31.9%

Mean cross-platform brand agreement

Two platforms answering the same question agree on under a third of the brands. ChatGPT and Claude are the furthest apart, at 22.2%.

6 platforms

Each recommends and cites differently

ChatGPT names a tight shortlist on thin evidence; Google AI Mode buries each answer in 21.8 citations. One playbook will not serve all six.

You want to benchmark your brand against what's actually happening across the market, not just what vendors are claiming.

You're a marketer or SEO lead watching organic traffic decline and looking for the next lever to pull before your competitors find it first.
