Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of: AI Marketing Consensus Index including: AIMarketingConsensusIndex.com and any related pages, research reports, rankings, datasets, tools, newsletters, downloads, or other content made available through the website. By accessing or using AI Marketing Consensus Index, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the website.

1. About AI Marketing Consensus Index

AI Marketing Consensus Index is a research and publishing platform focused on how leading artificial intelligence systems recommend:

• AI search and GEO agencies
• AI visibility platforms
• LLM monitoring tools
• AI search audit providers
• AI market intelligence companies
• AI citation and authority-building services
• AI SEO tools
• Content optimization platforms
• Other AI marketing companies, products, and services

Our research may compare recommendations across multiple AI platforms and measure factors such as:

• Recommendation frequency
• Recommendation coverage
• Recommendation position
• Citation visibility
• Mention visibility
• Competitive visibility
• Cross-platform consensus
• Historical changes

AI Marketing Consensus Index does not claim that AI recommendation consensus is an objective or complete measure of product quality.

2. Research and Educational Purposes Only

The website and its content are provided for:

• Research
• Information
• Education
• Comparison
• Market analysis

They are not intended as individualized professional advice. You should independently evaluate any company, agency, software platform, product, or service before making a purchasing or business decision.

3. No Guarantee of Business Results

AI Marketing Consensus Index does not guarantee that using any:

• Agency
• Platform
• Software
• Strategy
• Marketing service
• GEO service
• AEO service
• AI visibility tool
• Citation strategy

will produce any particular result. We do not guarantee:

• Increased ChatGPT visibility
• Increased Gemini visibility
• Increased Perplexity visibility
• Increased AI citations
• Increased recommendations
• Increased search traffic
• Increased leads
• Increased revenue
• Higher rankings
• Improved conversion rates
• Improved return on investment

AI systems, search engines, and marketing platforms change frequently. Results can vary substantially.

4. AI Recommendations Are Not Our Endorsements

Many of the rankings and findings published by AI Marketing Consensus Index are based on recommendations generated by third-party AI platforms. When an AI platform recommends a company, that does not necessarily mean:

• AI Marketing Consensus Index endorses the company
• Our reviewer personally recommends the company
• The company is objectively superior
• The company will be appropriate for every user
• The recommendation remains current

Our role is to measure and analyze AI recommendation behavior.

5. Consensus Is a Research Signal

A company receiving strong cross-platform recommendation consensus means that the company was recommended by multiple AI systems within the scope of the study. It does not necessarily prove:

• Better product quality
• Better customer service
• Better technology
• Better strategic execution
• Better pricing
• Better ROI
• Greater customer satisfaction

Consensus should be considered one research signal among many.

6. AI Systems Can Be Wrong

Artificial intelligence systems can produce:

• Incorrect information
• Outdated information
• Incomplete information
• Misleading statements
• Fabricated claims
• Misidentified companies
• Confused product features

We may separately verify material company information where practical. However, we cannot guarantee that every fact published on the website is complete or current at all times.

7. Research Is Time-Sensitive

AI marketing is evolving rapidly. Information may change regarding:

• AI platforms
• AI models
• Company services
• Product features
• Pricing
• Integrations
• Platform coverage
• Methodologies
• Market terminology

Each study should be interpreted according to its research date and any associated verification date.

8. Research Results May Change

A company that ranks highly in one research snapshot may rank differently in a later study. Changes may occur because of:

• AI model updates
• Search changes
• New source information
• Company positioning
• Product changes
• Competitive changes
• Prompt interpretation
• AI nondeterminism

A later ranking does not necessarily mean an earlier ranking was incorrect.

9. AI Outputs Are Probabilistic

Generative AI systems can produce different results when given the same or substantially similar prompts. Accordingly:

• Exact replication may not always be possible
• Recommendation order may change
• Companies may appear or disappear
• Citations may change
• Wording may change

Our studies represent dated research snapshots.

10. Platforms Included May Change

AI Marketing Consensus Index may analyze platforms such as:

• ChatGPT
• Gemini
• Claude
• Perplexity
• Grok
• DeepSeek
• Kimi

The exact platform set may change. Not every study is required to include the same number of platforms. Each study should be evaluated based on the platforms actually analyzed.

11. Third-Party AI Platforms Are Independent

AI Marketing Consensus Index is not:

• OpenAI
• Google
• Anthropic
• Perplexity
• xAI
• DeepSeek
• Moonshot AI

unless expressly stated otherwise. References to third-party companies, trademarks, platforms, and products are for identification, research, and comparison purposes. We are not responsible for the operation, availability, accuracy, or policies of third-party AI platforms.

12. Recommendation Coverage

Our research may calculate recommendation coverage based on the number of usable AI-platform responses. For example: 5 of 7 usable AI platforms recommended Company A. If one platform fails to generate a usable response, the denominator may reflect only usable responses.

See:

Research Methodology →

and:

How We Rank →

for additional details.

13. Citation Data and Recommendation Data Are Different

AI Marketing Consensus Index may separately measure:

• Recommendations
• Mentions
• Citations

These are not interchangeable. A company may be cited without being recommended. A company may be recommended without being cited. A company may be mentioned without either event occurring. Readers should not interpret one metric as automatically proving another.

14. No Guarantee of Research Completeness

Our research does not necessarily identify every:

• Agency
• Platform
• Tool
• Provider
• Company
• Feature
• Pricing plan
• Competitor

in the market. A company may fail to appear because:

• AI systems did not recommend it
• It is new
• It has limited web visibility
• It serves a narrow market
• Information about it is limited
• It was outside the scope of the study

Absence from our research is not necessarily a negative evaluation.

15. Related Business Disclosure

AI Marketing Consensus Index has relationships with businesses operating in markets that may be covered by our research. These include: LLM Authority Index and: CiteWorks Studio. Mark B. Huntley, J.D., who serves as AI Search & Visibility Research Reviewer where indicated, has financial and operational interests associated with these businesses.

Human review does not permit a reviewer to alter underlying AI recommendation data merely because the reviewer prefers another outcome.
