Measure open-web share of voice
The widest lens in this report: billions of web pages checked for places where this segment's topics and brands appear together. Domains with high co-occurrence are the ones the open web already associates with this market, the same association LLMs absorb in training.
Where the numbers come from
We scan seven full web crawls (roughly monthly, December 2025 through June 2026, about two billion pages each) for pages that link to a tracked brand domain and also contain one of this segment's topic phrases. Hit counts are exact; the count of distinct publishing websites is a close estimate, so it is presented as approximate.
What's on this page
Segment-level totals, a top-domains-by-co-occurrence chart, and the full domain table.
