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 27 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.

About this data. These are measurements of what AI engines answered to a fixed set of buyer questions on the dates shown, reported as recorded. They are not Cited’s opinion, an endorsement, or a rating of any company or product, and AI answers can be wrong. Company names are used only to identify the companies measured, which are not affiliated with Cited. Results are never for sale: paying Cited, or not, does not change a published measurement.
