Metro benchmarks and category scans from the Scanley Research Team. Every figure states its engine, date, run count, and method. Evergreen explanations live in Answers.

Scanley measures AI search visibility by asking the questions a metro or category actually asks, on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews, more than once each, and recording which institutions each answer named, recommended, or only mentioned. Every published figure states its engine, its date, its run count, and this method, so anyone can reproduce it.
