Common questions
Is my ranking permanent?
No — we re-poll every week. Rankings reflect the current state of each AI model's default behavior. If a model updates, rankings can shift. That's exactly why monitoring matters.
Can I pay to improve my ranking?
No. Rankings are 100% algorithmic — we run the same questions, the same way, every week. No human decides who ranks where. What you can do is understand why you rank where you rank and work on the underlying signals (content, reviews, mentions) that influence model training.
How do I know the data is accurate?
Each category gets at least 288 runs (96 per model × 3 models). We report Wilson 95% confidence intervals so you can see the statistical margin. Full methodology is on our methodology page.
My company isn't in any category yet. Can I request one?
Yes — email us at contact@pollthemodels.com with your category. We prioritize by demand and add new categories regularly.
What's in the Vendor Intelligence Report?
A PDF and slide deck covering: your full SoA by model, the verbatim reasons each model cites when recommending (or not recommending) you, a competitive breakdown vs your top 2 rivals, and 3 specific, actionable recommendations for improving your AI mindshare.
