We ask Perplexity about your travel market and your services.
The same questions, word for word. In 1924 answers that named anybody, the middle named 6 — read 14 October 2026.
We write down which, in what order, and which pages those names came from.
If they do not name you, nothing tells you. Not your site analytics, not your search rankings, not your booking channel.

All three asked the same way, every time, and kept as a row of days. That sameness is what makes one day comparable with another.

- Your business — not named
Your business is either on that list or it is not, and nothing tells you which.
The list is short and it has no second page: 91% of answers named ten or fewer.
A real answer from our series, 12 November 2026.
Answers that named at least one business over the thirty days to 14 October 2026.
Not a live count. Method
Named means the assistant’s own answer cites a page that names the business. A name with no source behind it is not counted.
The free scan is one morning, now.
Paying keeps the same questions running once a week after it.
You get a row of days you can read, and an email the day something on your site breaks.

If you are a hotel
Of every page the assistants cited while answering about hotels, 40.2% were booking platforms and metasearch.
Hotels’ own websites were 0.7%.
If you are a tour operator or a DMC
An answer names 5.2 companies on average for DMCs and 3.1 for tour operators — a short list, read out as a recommendation.
The question is not how high you rank on it. It is whether you are on it at all.
Disclosure: Boombastic Tours is ours — the founder’s own business in Seychelles.
It is measured in one of the niches above and counted exactly like every other business in it.
Nothing here is weighted for or against it, and its own figures are not published separately.

Your own page, kept up at least once a week
Three assistants kept apart, the share of answers that named a business, and the row of comparable mornings behind it.
All three over the same market and the same days.
This is the shape of it, with the figures of a market we publish.
A business’s own page carries its name, and no page outside the cabinet ever does.

One bar, one comparable morning in Seychelles, 21 August 2026 to 12 November 2026.
The bars show the shape of a row, not its figures — a business reads its own on its own page.
What it costs — and what is on each level today. The markets we publish carry the same figures, market by market.
The three kept apart above are Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude.
What one morning cannot tell you
Answers change from one day to the next for no reason of yours.
A month of measurement is a month of mornings: enough to see the spread, not enough to see where it is going.
