Venues named alongside it

Rooms the engines named in the same answers that cited this source. Co-occurrence, not proof of cause — but it is the shape of the influence.

Method

We ask the AI answer engines the questions diners actually ask, on a schedule, and store every answer with its citations. The counts above are citation rows — one per source URL an engine attached to an answer — scoped to the most recent complete observation run.

"Editorial" versus "directory" is our judgement call, applied by domain and tuned as the corpus grows. Editorial means a publication with an editor: a place a restaurant can be pitched. Directory means an aggregator, listing site, OTA, or user-generated platform — visible, but not pitchable.

Publication dates and bylines come from each cited page's own structured data — the publisher's JSON-LD, then its OpenGraph tags. We fetch politely, once per second, identify ourselves, and stop asking any site that declines. Where a page declares no date we say so; we never estimate one. The exception is Reddit, which refuses crawlers but encodes a post's position in its own submission counter in the URL — those dates are arithmetic, accurate to roughly a day, and marked approximate wherever they appear.
