AI Visibility Index · November 2026
Asked about car repair shops in Washington DC, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini named Capitol Hill Automotive most often, in 92% of answers (its AI Recommendation Rate), then District Auto Repair (33%). Across 36 answers they named 43 different businesses, 27 of them only once. Each of four buyer questions was asked three times, in English, in November 2026.
The AI Recommendation Rate is the fraction of the 36 answers that named a business. The range under it is a 95% confidence interval: where two ranges overlap, the gap between those businesses could be chance.
Names are printed as the assistants wrote them. We have not checked that any of them is good, open, or real.

How to read this page
- What it measures
- Which names these models produce when asked cold, from what they learned in training. It is not a review, a rating or our recommendation, and a business missing here may simply be one the models were never shown.
- Why the ranges matter
- 36 answers is a sample. Asked again next month, most shares will move by a few points; the ranges say how far they could move by chance alone.
- One business, several spellings
- Branches, legal suffixes and spellings of one business are merged, and the other spellings are printed under its name. Names that might be two businesses are kept apart.
- A name is wrong
- If a business here is closed, misnamed or yours and you want it removed, tell us. We correct or remove it when the page is next published.
Where the assistants look
The sites read most often, with web search on, before the assistants answer about this category in the United States. From the AI Source Map: 11 answers.
