As the CLIXERA dataset grows, we use aggregated analysis to identify patterns in competitive digital visibility, AI Search, SEO, reviews, websites and local discovery. Published research uses aggregated or anonymized data where appropriate. Individual customer accounts are not exposed.
ChatGPT named only 44% of the thousands of independent main-street businesses we sampled across each province, and 56% were never named. Province ranking, visibility bands, business categories, lists vs recommendations, and city size.
Full research study of 4,330 local businesses (Ottawa 2,178 / Toronto 2,152): AI mention rates, recommendation visibility, citywide shopper experiment, and digital readiness. Companion to the Battle of Ontario scoreboard.
Among 2,000 Ontario businesses studied January–August 2026, ranking in Google's Top 3 did not guarantee an AI mention — 45.0% of Top-3 businesses were not mentioned by AI. Aggregated findings from 40,000 commercially relevant AI questions.
Same rules, same scoring: Ottawa (627 businesses) vs Toronto (348). Mention 41%/43%, recommendation 29%/29%, local shortlist 57%/19%. Final score Ottawa 1.5 – Toronto 5.5. Toronto wins — but the bigger story is how many local businesses never appeared at all.
We run CLIXERA on CLIXERA itself — the same competitor intelligence and Growth Hub loop we ship to customers. Living proof of the product, not a vanity scoreboard. Measured results publish only when we have them.
