Where this board sits

Every board is free and public

What is on this page position-weighted organic visibility indexed to the Alberta leader, share of sources cited in AI Overviews, share of answers naming a carrier, and Local Pack presence. The first three use the same 19 searches captured September 2026. Local Pack comes from a separate set of near-me searches measured per metro, joined here.

Never combined the disciplines are reported separately and are not summed. A blended score would hide the only finding that matters, which is where they disagree.

Coverage Google AI Overviews only. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude are separate surfaces and are not measured.
