Who ChatGPT recommends when buyers ask for help.

Every week we ask ChatGPT the same five questions a buyer asks before hiring help with AI search, a go-to-market launch, or paid ads, and we record which companies the answers cite. This page is that record.

Updated · 4 weekly runs since September 3, 2026 · gpt-5.5 with web search

107different domains cited across 4 runs
70%of question and domain pairs showed up in only one run
1domains cited for the same question in every run

The answers move. 70% of the times a domain was cited for a question, it was cited in that one run only, and a short list keeps coming back week after week. For a buyer, one answer is a sample. For a firm, one mention says little about next week.

How we collect it

Once a week we send the five questions above, word for word, to gpt-5.5 with web search through the OpenAI API, with no account history and no location set. We record the domains each answer cites as sources, in the order it cites them. One answer per question per week, so read a single run as a sample and the pattern across runs as the signal.

The questions stay fixed so the runs compare. We do not edit, filter, or rank the results beyond counting how many runs cited each domain. A domain listed here was cited by the assistant; that is not an endorsement from us or a judgment of the firm's work.
