How to use this page

Industry view: this page aggregates every persona's data for the whole industry, plus industry-wide queries. Pick a persona from the sidebar to narrow the lens to one segment.
Use Case

Compare channels at a glance

See which domains win each discovery channel, and where a brand is strong in one but missing from another. Use the over- and under-performer tables to find channels where competitors hold an edge you can close, or gaps you can take first.

How It's Calculated

Where the numbers come from

LLM, Fanout, and Organic columns use a rank-weighted score: a domain at position 1 counts for more than one at position 10, summed across every query run. AI Search is a plain citation count because Google's AI Overviews carry no rank data.

Overview

What's on this page

Side-by-side rankings for LLM recommendations, web-search fanout, Google's AI Overviews, and organic results, plus an aggregate view and per-channel over/under-performer callouts.

Cross-Channel Comparison

LLM vs Fanout vs AI Search vs Organic

Compare recommendation patterns for Used Car Dealers across all personas across four channels side by side: pick a model for LLM and Fanout, toggle Google/Bing for Organic. AI Search has no model choice (it's Google's own AI Overview, a single source, not a multi-model API) and no rank field, so it's shown as a plain citation count rather than a rank-weighted score like the other three.

The two boxes below the four channel charts offer several views of the same data; use the tabs to switch charts. Every view derives from the four charts' data directly, normalized 0-100 within each channel, and updates with the same dropdowns.

Cross-Channel Comparison
