How the index is measured
24 real customer prompts per market, like "best HVAC in Denver" or "who can fix my AC today," put to each assistant three times, every week. We never name a business; we watch which ones AI names.
Share of voice weighs how often and how prominently a business is recommended across every prompt and assistant, on a trailing average, so one odd answer doesn't swing the board. Rank comes from what the AI actually says, not its local-pack widget.
For the leaders we run a buyer's decision journey (offerings, availability, pricing, fit, differentiation) and grade how well AI can carry a customer to a booking. It measures AI's output, not our opinion of the business.
