Frequently asked questions

What does the Findrix Fashion & Apparel report measure?

Which brands ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Perplexity name when buyers in Australia ask for fashion & apparel recommendations, and which sites those engines cite. It covers 4 Fashion & Apparel markets, each measured on its own set of buyer questions in Sep 2026.

Which markets are included in the Fashion & Apparel dataset?

4 Australia markets: activewear & athletic apparel, jewellery, swimwear & resortwear and women's everyday fashion. Each has its own questions, brands and ranking.

What does “mention rate” mean?

The share of buyer questions where an engine names the brand. Each question is asked 3 times to each engine. Every rate carries a 95% range: when the ranges of two brands overlap, their ranks are not really different.

Why are rates shown for one engine at a time?

Each engine answers a different number of questions with its own sources, so its rates have their own denominator. Adding them up would compare unlike numbers — pick an engine to see its view of every market.

Why is a brand’s cell empty in a market?

The table shows each engine’s published top 20 per market. An empty cell means the brand is not in that top 20 — it may still be named, just less often than the brands above it.

Can I compare mention rates across different markets?

Only with care. Every market has its own question set and its own number of competing brands, so a lower rate in a crowded market can be a stronger position than a higher rate in a concentrated one. Compare brands within a market; across markets, compare places, not rates.

Where do the questions in this dataset come from?

From the way people actually shop each category: recommendation, comparison and problem-first questions, 353–398 per market. The set is fixed for a measurement, so every brand in a market is judged on the same questions.

How often is the data updated?

Every market is a dated measurement — the Fashion & Apparel figures on this page were collected in Sep 2026. We re-measure markets and add new ones over time; the date on the page always tells you which run you are looking at.
