Methodology

Published because most citation statistics in this category aren't. If you cite this index, please link back so readers can check the method.

• •Built from 96 completed AI answer checks run by AE Ranking between 2026-06-13 and 2026-09-11.
• •Every citation an engine returned is counted — not just the top ten sources per platform, which is how most published figures in this category are actually computed.
• •Shares are of all counted citations for that engine, so they sum to 1 across all domains, not just the ones shown.
• •Subdomains are rolled up to their parent site; AI-platform infrastructure hosts are excluded.
• •De-identified: no client, prompt, or customer domain is exposed — only which source domains engines cite.
• •Engines with fewer than 50 citations in the period are omitted rather than published from a thin sample.
• •Prompts reflect what AE Ranking customers track, which skews toward commercial and comparison intent. This is a sample of AI citation behaviour, not a census of the web.
