Engine disagreement

One engine is not an AI strategy.

In the current rank-tracking evidence library, side-by-side engine checks repeatedly disagree. The older public rollup shows a 90.7% #1 disagreement rate across 2,328 same-query comparisons; the June 12 bucket audit also found 71.1% different visibility status across 2,892 multi-engine groups.

90.7%

of the older public rollup's side-by-side comparisons produced a different #1 business depending on which AI you asked.

Same practice, same question (“veneers dentist,” Los Angeles), same day. ChatGPT seats it at #4; Gemini buries it at #12; Perplexity puts it last of four. Only a screenshot proves which customers you are losing.

Why engine choice matters

Gemini gives out #1 the most.

Share of rank-tracking observations where the engine named a single business as the top recommendation. The engine your customers use changes your odds dramatically.

Movement

Rank in AI answers moves.

Across the businesses our capture network measures, 241 top-2 rank stamps were recorded (Jun 12, 2026 audit). A rank stamp confirms the numbers only; on Oct 19, 2026 we re-checked every pair this site publishes by hand and kept only pairs that name the same business on the same engine, question and market.

Index program

The systematic market Index is next.

Screenshots are evidence. Structured sidecars are the dataset. The public Index publishes when both the receipt and the parsed answer record are present.

Parsed businesses named, citations, and accuracy flags

We already have the metro anchors staged. The public Index will wait for index/date captures and parsed sidecars with businesses named, citations, accuracy flags, and map-pack comparisons.
