Frequently Asked Questions

How are these restaurants ranked?

Rankings are based on how often each restaurant appears in AI-generated responses across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. The more platforms that mention a business, the higher it ranks. This is not an editorial ranking — it reflects real AI output.

Why do some businesses have the same mention count?

Because multiple businesses can appear on the same number of platforms. When that happens, we use tie-breakers such as the position in each platform's list and how often the business appears in top-3 positions.

Why is my business not listed for restaurants in Washington DC?

Only businesses that the AI platforms named in their responses appear here. If a business was not mentioned by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini for this specific query, it will not show up — even if it is well-known locally.

Are the AI platforms queried independently?

Yes. Each platform is queried on its own with the same prompt. We do not pass results from one platform into another, and we do not combine outputs before analysis.

What does it mean when a business is mentioned by multiple AI platforms?

It means the same business was independently named by more than one AI platform when asked the same question. Cross-platform agreement is the strongest signal we use when assembling the ranking.

Does this page recommend or endorse any of these restaurants?

No. The page reports which businesses AI platforms mention in response to a specific question. It does not constitute an endorsement, verification, or recommendation by us.
