How we measured

One audit for Chicago: the 6 questions above, the kind a business owner might ask, each sent to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini through their official APIs with web search on. A count is how many of the 18 answers named the agency, and the table lists up to 5 agencies, the ones named in the most answers. Counts were not checked by hand for every city; where we did check, a few came out 1 lower than a hand count and none higher (the full study has the details). AI answers change from day to day, so the counts hold for the date shown. It is a count of answers, not a ranking or an award. How RecoRadar measures AI recommendations explains the rest.
