How this ranking works
Each week we ask Gemini 4 buyer questions through the official API with Google Search grounding on. We read the numbered list in every answer and count how many answers name each brand and at which position. Brands are ranked by number of answers first, then by average position. It is one engine and one run per week, so treat it as a snapshot: answers change with time, wording and the person asking.
