The dated record of who AI names

Who does AI name in your market?

Pick a city and a niche. See which businesses AI engines named, and how many answers each count is out of.

Loading saved answers. Each count is one engine's named days out of that same engine's answer days.

Same question, four AI engines, lists that overlap only in part.Sep 1 to Oct 11, 2026, counted from the saved answer text. In 23 of 36 markets where both named businesses, OpenAI and Perplexity share no business in their top five (ties at fifth place included). OpenAI and Gemini share none in 12 of 32 markets, Perplexity and Gemini in 14 of 34. Perplexity and Anthropic share none in 10 of 12 markets. In 18 of 38 markets the same business is first for two or more engines.

The record others build on.Nobody can go back and ask an AI engine what it said last month. Namebeam has asked the same local questions on every run day since August 2, 2026 (no run on 2026-10-05; failed calls are kept as rows and labeled), and kept every answer with its date and engine. It is built for agencies, researchers and data teams that need to see who AI names, and to prove it.See the method and raw files · Agency evidence pack

Every pair below is a real city and niche from the record. Each count is the number of answer days on which one engine named the business, out of that same engine's answer days for the market. Engines are never added together. A count, not a ranking.

All markets in the record

    Method and code: github.com/mrcrtr1979-droid/namebeam-visibility-index. Data through Oct 11, 2026. Counts are answer days, shown per engine. Method: a business counts for an engine on every answer day whose saved answer text names it (whole words, full name), out of that engine's own answer days; the same rule applies to all four engines, and review sites, directories and bar associations are kept out of the business lists. Zeros stay printed. The data file is /data/explorer_data.json.

    How it works

    1. Ask the same local question.We put the same city and niche question to OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity through their developer connections, and read the Google results page for it. Gemini answers are included where they came back.
    2. Save it with a date.Every saved answer is dated. Each row in Edition 1 carries a SHA-256 fingerprint of its raw file, and a public script checks every file against a manifest.
    3. Count it with the denominator.We print, for each engine, how many answer days came back and on how many of them its answer text names each business. Engines are never blended into one total. Zeros stay printed. The data lives at proof.namebeam.ai, and the record gets more useful as the days add up.
