Bands describe how often a company was named, not how good it is. Being named is also not the same as being cited as a source. In this snapshot Checkout.com was named in 30 answers and its own site, checkout.com, was cited in 9. Answers where an engine returned no sources are excluded, never counted as zero. How this is measured.
