Answer reach by media type

Each percentage is the share of all eligible citation-bearing answers that cite at least one outlet in that category. Each answer counts once per category, but one answer may cite outlets from several categories, so the percentages can add up to more than 100%.

Answer reach by tracked brand sector

Each percentage uses all eligible citation-bearing answers linked to brands with that sector recorded as its denominator. The numerator counts answers citing at least one eligible outlet. Sector labels come from the saved industry context for each brand, not from labels inferred from prompt text. A brand can have more than one sector, so the answer groups may overlap. Each sector has its own denominator; these rates do not form a total.

What this report covers

This report ranks a curated list of Spanish news and media outlets by how often they appear as a source in AI answers generated for Spain. Each outlet counts once per answer. The analysis considers hundreds of thousands of answers each month, and the live ranking refreshes daily over a 7-day rolling window.

How we measure this

  • The aggregate uses every eligible AI model with data in the LLM Pulse dataset. Separate pages are available for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews.

  • We analyse successfully completed answers to non-brand prompts assigned to Spain that contain at least one non-client source assigned to Spain. The ranking keeps citations to a curated list of Spanish news and media domains; each outlet counts once per eligible answer.

  • The sample leans toward commercial topics and does not represent every question asked in Spain. Dates use Europe/Madrid. The live page is rebuilt daily over a 7-day rolling window.

Why this matters

For publishers, this ranking shows how often each outlet appears as a source in the LLM Pulse sample. It measures citation presence, not audience size, popularity, trust, quality or market share.

For brands, this list provides context on the Spain-based media domains that AI answers cite in this sample. It does not measure audience, trust, quality or the effect of coverage.
