Methodology
Generative AI answers are probabilistic: the same question can produce different answers from one request to the next. This report does not show rankings. It shows how often Northwind Bikes and its competitors were mentioned across repeated, tracked answers.
During this period, 20 buyer questions were each asked on a regular schedule via the official APIs of ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity (with web search enabled where the engine supports it), in English for the Germany market. Answers from these APIs can differ from what an individual user sees in the consumer apps.
A brand counts as mentioned when its name, a listed alternative name or its domain appears in the answer text. Share of voice is each brand’s share of all brand mentions in the same answers. Every figure is derived from stored answers that can be reviewed individually.
These results are observational. They do not guarantee future visibility or placement in any AI product.
