Can AI Find Them?
A public research series. One real buyer question, three AI engines, and what they actually said. Every result is a dated snapshot, not a ranking.

Can AI Find Them?
We asked ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity the buyer questions for 29 small businesses, mostly B2B and professional-service firms: one answer per engine.
- 18 weren’t named by any engine.
- 11 were named by at least one engine. None was named by all three.
Questions were written by CiteMe from each firm’s own website. One answer per engine is a snapshot, not a ranking. We don’t name firms without their permission.
These are independent tests of well-known public brands. Named case studies of CiteMe clients are published only with the owner’s written approval of the exact page.
