PipsWire Shares Q3 2026 AI Visibility Findings on 288 Trading Brands

Public tables show how trading brands appear in sampled AI and search results, with brand profiles, an open dataset and a published method.

MIAMI BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, October 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PipsWire is sharing Q3 2026 findings on how trading brands appear in AI answers and search results. Its AI Visibility Index contains data on 288 brands.

Available through PipsWire Intelligence, the index helps industry teams see which brands appear, how they are described and which websites are cited. In the combined data, the highest-scoring brand in each category appeared in more than half of results. Yet each brand’s own website was cited in fewer than a third. The tables show those measures side by side.

The public directory lists 47 tables for Q3 2026. Readers can start with a category overview, open a market table or view a brand profile. Each table shows a visibility score and the measures behind it. These include how often a brand is named or recommended, the tone of answers and citations of its own website. Separate views show results by system and the sources cited in the sample.

The research covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, plus Google AI Mode and AI Overviews. Google organic search results are also part of the published data and the combined score. Readers can compare a brand’s presence across the systems sampled.

PipsWire’s published methodology describes repeated queries in English and a score from zero to 100. The score combines brand mentions, recommendation placement, the tone of answers and citations of the brand’s website. The index measures the outputs collected for the study. It does not observe private user chats or reproduce every answer a person might see in a consumer app.

The public dataset is free to download as a CSV file under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Readers can inspect the exported metrics and reuse the data with credit to PipsWire Intelligence. The file contains aggregate results, not the full text of each sampled answer.

For businesses that need research on their own brands, PipsWire offers a one-time report called Benchmark and a recurring service called Radar. Both sit alongside the free public index. Under PipsWire’s stated policy, buying a report or subscription does not change an index score.

The scores describe visibility within the measured sample. They do not rate a provider’s safety, legal status or product quality, or tell traders which firm to use. AI outputs can change with models and source material. API responses can also differ from answers in consumer apps. The index does not provide investment advice or promise gains in rankings, traffic or sales.

The Q3 tables, brand profiles and dataset are available through PipsWire Intelligence.
