This pilot does not isolate the effect of the extra wording. ## Perplexity leans on marketplaces Sources included Alibaba, Made-in-China, Accio and SourceReady — weak own sites show up as marketplace entries. ## Hard numbers get quoted Both engines repeated MOQ figures stated in page text (“3,000 units per SKU”, “500 units per SKU”). ## Category pages appeared in citations Repeat names (Yanse Cosmetics, Skincraftlab) publish detailed pages by product line. This association does not establish a ranking cause. ## Methodology and limits OpenAI gpt-4o-mini + web searchPerplexity sonar + web searchOfficial APIsTop 5 with websites1 run per prompt per dateDirectional, not market share - Consumer apps can answer differently from the APIs. - Names recorded in the order given, without merging or correcting. - Future editions will identify their prompt cohort and platform surface; new categories are separate cohorts. - A pilot of 11 answers is a snapshot, not a market share. - The published rankings are extracted summaries, not full original responses. See our measurement methodology and editorial and evidence policy for observation labels, evidence limits and corrections. FAQ Q: How often is the index updated? A: The currently published edition is the September 2026 pilot. Monthly editions are planned, but a new edition is published only after its observations and evidence have been reviewed. New prompts or platform surfaces are reported separately. Q: How were these results recorded? A: This pilot used the official OpenAI and Perplexity APIs: gpt-4o-mini with web search and Perplexity sonar. It contains no Claude, Gemini, Copilot or Grok answers. We show exact prompts, dates and extracted supplier order, including missed mentions. Full original responses are not publicly linked, so this is a summary dataset, not a complete answer archive. Q: Can I get my category added? A: Yes. Tell us the category and the prompts buyers use; we add categories with enough suppliers to make a ranking meaningful. Q: Can I cite this data? A: Yes, under CC BY 4.0: cite "BeautyGEO AI Recommendation Index, September 2026" with a link to this page. *** ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQPage Grounding) ### Q: How often is the index updated? **A**: The currently published edition is the September 2026 pilot.
