Methodology
Every RankedByAI scan asks multiple AI models real buyer questions and records which web pages the answers cite. This leaderboard aggregates those citations by domain across all scans. A domain only qualifies once it was cited by at least 2 independent sources; the trend compares each domain's citation share over the last 30 days with the 30 days before. Demo data is excluded.
