GuideWhich AI assistants your buyers actually use
Buyers don't all ask the same assistant. Some live in ChatGPT, some default to Gemini on their phone, some trust Perplexity for research, and a growing share get AI answers inside Google and Copilot without choosing an assistant at all. That fragmentation is exactly why optimizing for a single engine leaves money on the table.
FAQ
Should I just optimize for ChatGPT?ChatGPT has the largest share, but it's not a monopoly — Gemini ships default on Android and in Google, Perplexity owns research-heavy buyers, and Copilot reaches Microsoft users. Being named in one engine and invisible in others is a real blind spot. The fundamentals that win one tend to win all.
Do the different assistants recommend different businesses?Often, yes — because they pull from different sources and resolve entities differently. A business can score well on Perplexity and poorly on Gemini. That's why Cited checks eight-plus engines in one scan instead of guessing.
How do I see where I stand across all of them?Run a free Cited scan — it queries ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok and more with the same buying-intent prompts and shows exactly which name you and which don't.
