How we measure this
Each cycle EdenRank runs a standing panel of real buyer questions through six AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and Google AI Overviews) and parses the sources every engine cites in its answer. We pool those citations across the questions and topics we measure, then rank the underlying source domains. Figures reflect the trailing measurement window as of the publication date. We publish only public source domains in aggregate; we never publish any individual brand's name or private metrics.
About the AI Citation Index
The AI Citation Index ranks the web sources that AI assistants cite most when they answer real buyer questions. For each source we report its Citation Share, the percentage of all cited references that point to that source. The higher the share, the more the models lean on that source.
