The AI Visibility Index is Crackle PR's quarterly citation study. Crackle PR, a B2B technology PR agency founded in 2020, ran the Q3 2026 edition against a fixed prompt set and a named competitive set, scoring 300 answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
Two metrics: citation share, the percentage of answers naming a given company, and first-mention rate, how often that company is named first. Both definitions are locked in the public methodology file and explained at the glossary.
The prompt set, engines, and scoring rules were registered before collection, so the hypothesis could not move after the result. See the pre-registration record.
Crackle PR clients are excluded from scored positions under the recusal policy. Crackle PR does not rank itself into its own dataset.
The Q3 2026 dataset is deposited under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21986226 and mirrored as machine-readable CSV, JSON, and Markdown at the findings file. Journalists can reuse the charts and quotes from the Q3 2026 press kit.
