About This Research

This Search Lab case study is part of ongoing research by The Lmo7 Agency into how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity handle product discovery, brand mentions, and commercial recommendations. Our research helps consumer brands understand and improve their visibility in AI-driven search.
