Each question goes to ChatGPT and Gemini once. Answers vary between runs, so stores only a few answers apart share a place (=).

Category median: named in 0 of 35 questions (the middle store of all 78 stores we measured; +n is how many questions a store is above it).
Named means the store appeared in the answer. Recommended means the assistant clearly advised it. Being in a list is not the same as being advised, so we count them separately. The other 39 stores were named in none of these questions.
This ranking covers the 78 stores we measure in this category. That is not every store in the market.
Each dot is a store. Further right: named in more buying questions. Higher: recommended more often. Stores low on the right are known to AI but rarely the tip. That gap is what most stores can close.
Review sites, comparison sites, marketplaces and communities that ChatGPT and Gemini mention in their answers in this category. Stores that are present and well reviewed there are easier for AI to recommend.

How to read this

No paid positions. A store cannot buy its way in, and the order follows from the answers alone.
If someone asks about a brand or for general information, no store appears in the answer, not even the best one. Those questions are left out of the count. How we measure.
