Use the engine tabs below to compare how ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek rank entities differently. Overall ranking summarizes the latest visibility signals across all tracked engines, while engine-specific tabs reveal whether a brand is broadly recommended or over-dependent on one answer system.

Why This Matters

Use the overall ranking to see who leads this industry at a glance, then drill into individual AI engines to understand where visibility is strong, weak, or inconsistent. The useful signal is not only the rank: mention rate, score gaps, latest refresh date, and engine outliers show whether the leader is durable or only winning in a narrow set of prompts.

Current Ranking Takeaways

LinkedIn is the current #1 entity in Professional Networking with a 99.5 AI Index and 111.9% mention rate. This makes it the clearest public benchmark for how AI systems currently answer industry comparison prompts.

Xing is the nearest visible challenger at #2, trailing LinkedIn by 61 points. That gap is the first signal to inspect when deciding whether this leaderboard is leader-dominated or actively contested.

Blind rounds out the podium at #3. Comparing the top three against engine-level tabs helps separate broad recommendation consistency from single-engine strength.

The latest public snapshot refreshed on 2026-06-02, covering 7 tracked engines and 30 entities. Freshness matters because AI recommendations can shift as models, retrieval sources, and category evidence change.
