We sent 24 real buying questions to ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews – the questions service and CX teams actually ask. Then we counted which providers get named, and how often. The result is a ranking built from real AI answers, not opinion.

Nearly half of all AI recommendations go to just 6 of 85 providers.

Zendesk (9.1%) and Intercom (6.1%) dominate the answers – the remaining 85 named providers split what's left. If you're not here, you simply don't exist to AI users. That's exactly the gap BuzzView makes visible.
