Also in the original Lab: Flagship ↗Vibe Marketers ↗Proof Owl ↗
The measurement panel is frozen as cohort v1 and not yet measured. The wording stays fixed so trends compare like with like. Keep a separate discovery pool for new questions, then deliberately version changes instead of silently changing the denominator.
Who should a team hire, choose, or compare? Track explicit recommendations and citations as separate signals.
What does a buyer need to understand before choosing? Track owned-page citations separately from the buying group.
Cohort v1 is below: 10 prompts, frozen 18 Oct 2026 before any run. Two (P04, P08) were typed into Google by real people, from Search Console. None has verified AI prompt volume; no tool can measure that yet.
No reviewed question results are published here yet. Adding more questions is useful for discovery, but changes to the fixed measurement panel need a new version.
Recommendation rate: substantive completed answers explicitly recommending SuperMarketers divided by all substantive completed answers in the fixed buying-question cohort. Report the raw numerator and denominator for each engine, product surface, model/configuration, cohort version, and date window.
Owned-page citation rate: citation-capable substantive completed answers citing an approved owned URL divided by citation-capable substantive completed answers. Report buying and educational question groups separately, and do not pool engines or incompatible product surfaces.
Keep mentions, recommendations, and citations distinct. Show total attempts and exclusions: errors, refusals, partial answers, and unavailable responses. Human review plus publication approval comes before any result appears here.
Neither measure is a market-wide share or search-volume estimate. Repeated observations and a stable collection method are needed before setting a target.
Reviewed Google Search Console exports could supply organic clicks and, where available for this property, AI-search impressions. Keep each metric separate. Compare like-for-like date windows, filters, properties, and reporting definitions; clicks are not analytics sessions.
Google’s generative AI Search report covers impressions in supported AI search features. Report availability for this property has not been verified. No reviewed Search Console data is published here yet. Read Google’s report definition ↗
Retain missing and preliminary-data flags. Search report exports can represent unavailable values as zeros, so review the original context before publishing. A change in traffic alone does not prove an experiment caused it.
