Which engines actually name Brand 9 Signs
We publish the whole picture — including where the business is not yet named. A score that only shows wins isn't a measurement; it's an advertisement.
Engines polled: ChatGPT (GPT-4o, web-browsing), Gemini (Gemini 2.5 Flash, default), Perplexity (Sonar, grounded), Google AI Overview (live Google SERP feature), Grok (xAI Grok 4, parametric), Claude (Claude Sonnet 4.5, web-search). All queried with B9’s buyer-intent questions; naming verified against raw answer text.

Grounded vs. from-memory — read the pillars separately. The table above counts an engine as naming Brand 9 Signs when it does so with live web access for at least one buyer-intent query — the channel real buyers use. Separately, we track cold parametric recall (the same engines with browsing off, answering only from training memory). For a 40-year local business, cold recall is expected to sit near zero — a regional company simply isn't baked into a frontier model's weights — so that pillar is the slowest-moving and least buyer-relevant of the three, and we never blend it into a single grade that could hide which pillar is which. A change in the from-memory pillar is usually the ruler moving, not the business.
Two true readings — the generalist term vs. the specialist reality
A single blended rank would hide the real story, so we publish both. On the broad, generic head term Brand 9 Signs sits mid-pack in a volume race. But on the high-value work it actually specializes in — and on the answer engine with the widest reach — it is the name the engines cite.
Both readings are dated, reproducible, and run on the identical public method. The high-value verticals above are the queries where Brand 9 is named across Google AI Overview, Perplexity, and Gemini. A full per-engine, per-query competitor capture for the specialty verticals is queued for the next measurement cycle; until then, the broad named-share census on the registry index is the published head-to-head reading.

Measurement record
Current score: 54/100 (2026-08-17). Previous score: 48/100 (2026-08-09). The +6-point increase reflects a fresh grounded re-measure (Perplexity naming across the specialist verticals roughly doubled; Google AI Overview and Grok hold at ceiling), a strengthened local-presence pillar (Google Business Profile now actively managed — photos, posts, services and NAP), and improved search-coverage crawl health (legacy 404 URLs resolved to 301/410 and resubmitted for indexing). Not a ruler change. This receipt is dated and immutable; each quarterly re-measure mints a new dated entry, so any change is auditable against the record.
