For each town and industry category, I ask four AI assistants a real buying question, the kind a real customer would type: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overview.
Every business the assistants name is ranked by how consistently it comes up: named first and most often, named sometimes, or not named at all. The business ranked highest across all four assistants is the measured winner. Only one winner per town and industry.
Every award page states the exact date it was measured. The web changes, and so do the AI assistants' answers, so a win reflects that date, not a permanent guarantee. Nothing here is voted on, nominated, or paid for. It's a measurement, and every claim on an award page is one I can show in full.
