Frequently asked questions

What does the Findrix Beauty & Personal Care report measure?

Which brands ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode name when buyers in the United States ask for beauty & personal care recommendations, and which sites those engines cite. It covers 5 Beauty & Personal Care markets, each measured on its own set of buyer questions in Oct 2026.

Which markets are included in the Beauty & Personal Care dataset?

5 United States markets: makeup & cosmetics, facial skincare, haircare, oral care products and sun care & tanning. Each has its own questions, brands and ranking.

What does “mention rate” mean?

The share of an engine’s answers to a market’s buyer questions that name the brand. Each question is asked once 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, 800 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 Beauty & Personal Care figures on this page were collected in Oct 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.
