Source: the sources_cited list in each public Perplexity answer file for the same days as the table above. Links only; no answer text. Ties at the last place are all shown.

Excluded (not a single business): justtires.com (UNKNOWN)

How to read it: each row is one business; the columns count the days Perplexity named it and the days it cited the business's own site. Across the 190 businesses in the record (counted per market; 181 distinct sites), Perplexity named a business on 33.6% of days it cited that business's own site and 2.0% of days it did not (Wilson 95% intervals 30.4 to 37.0 and 1.6 to 2.6); within the same business the gap is 15.6 points (35 businesses higher, 3 lower).

Definitions: "named" here means the business's web address or exact name is written in the answer text. The Oct 29 public count also counts a cited address as named; under that count every day its own site was cited counts as named.

For agencies: this market every month, Market Record, one market, $49 a month; Agency Evidence Pack, $397 one-time. We do not sell to the businesses we measure. Questions: email works best, hello@namebeam.ai.

Names are shown as extracted from each answer. Some entries are headings or terms, not businesses. That is a known issue in the Edition 1 files and it is logged on the corrections page. A count is not a ranking.

Who entered and who dropped

Each run day is compared with the previous run day, using the engines that answered OK on both days. One engine skipping a day cannot show up as a drop. The full list is in changes.csv.
