All statistics, Q3 2026 edition

  • 18.9% — AI answer visibility is thin-headed: the top 10 companies hold 18.9% of citation index points (Concentration)
  • 48.2 vs 47.1 — A San Francisco address buys almost no AI visibility (Geography)
  • 41.6 — Cybersecurity is one of the largest categories and one of the least cited (Category)
  • 0.178 — AI engines agree on which agencies to name less than a fifth of the time (Reliability)
  • 54 of 100 — Rank movement and citation strength are different measures (Movement)
  • 50% — Being named first outweighs being named often (Method)

How Crackle PR produces these numbers

Crackle PR is an all-senior B2B tech PR agency that publishes the AI Visibility Index quarterly: a fixed set of 25 buyer-intent queries run across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Grok, with frozen scoring rules, a public raw dataset, and a preregistered methodology. Every statistic on this page names its denominator and one thing the number does not prove.
