How this ranking works: the score is the Pipswire AI Visibility Index for Q3 2026 (method 1.1) — 2,344 answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and the Google top ten across 16 markets, combining how often a firm is named (40%), whether and how high it is recommended (30%), the tone of the mention (15%) and whether the engine cites the firm's own site (15%). It measures visibility, not quality: a high score means AI assistants recommend the firm often, not that it is right for you. Closed firms are excluded. Full index and CSV (CC BY 4.0).
