How Qwen recommends
Why you don't come up on Qwen
Of 95 businesses measured, 57.9% are never named by Qwen. Qwen searches the web before answering, but doesn't say which sites. The difference still comes down to the sites it reads, and those sites can be reached.
Every assistant reads the web its own way
Each assistant reads a different number of sites before answering, and names whoever it finds there. If your business isn't on the sites it reads, for that assistant it doesn't exist.

The 12 platforms do not share one measurement window: the shortest belongs to Microsoft Copilot, 15 days; the longest to Perplexity, 62 days. The numbers in each row hold for its own window, not for a period they all have in common.
Its row has no numbers: it doesn't mean it reads no sites, only that it doesn't show them.
How it recommends
Qwen doesn't say which sites it reads, but names lots of businesses, five or six per answer on average. Its answers are wide: getting in is possible, and the platform tells you whether you're there by reading every name it gives.
It doesn't say what it reads.
Where ChatGPT shows the sites it read, Qwen shows none, even when it searches the web. From the outside you can only look at who it names. The good news is that the platform reads every name in its answers, and tells you whether you're there.
The sites it reads can't be seen.
Qwen searches the web, but doesn't return the addresses of the sites it read, so there's no list here. The ones that matter for your business are mostly the same for every assistant, and you'll find them in your report.
You come up on one and not the other
When a business gets named, in eight cases out of ten only one of the two assistants does it. Whoever shows up on Qwen often doesn't show up on ChatGPT, and the other way round. Your customers don't all use the same one: that's why the platform measures them all, and tells you where you're missing.
Same practice, three different answers.
Studio Odontoiatrico Del Malvo, a dentist in Turin. On 1 September the platform asked three assistants the same five questions. Grok named it in all five, Perplexity in three, ChatGPT in none.
The questions in this reading

Answer by answer
If this were your business and you only looked at ChatGPT, you'd think you didn't exist. If you only looked at Grok, you'd think you were doing great. The good news is that in one minute you can see where you really stand, on all of them.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't Qwen name me?
Because when it searches, it finds other names before yours. It doesn't say where it reads, but 57.9% of the businesses measured are never named: it's a selection, and you get in by being on the sites that matter in your area.
How do I get Qwen to name me?
By being on the sites that matter for your area and category: they're mostly the same for every assistant. The free scan shows you them in one minute, then Mador writes the pages you're missing and lets you know when something changes.
Does Qwen say where it gets its answers?
No: none of the answers measured carries an address. That's why the platform looks at the names inside the answer, which is what matters to you.
If I come up on ChatGPT, do I come up on Qwen too?
Not necessarily. When ChatGPT names you, Qwen does too in less than half of cases. They choose differently, which is why it pays to watch them all.
What data are these figures based on?
On every measurement the platform has run on Qwen from July 29, 2026 to September 27, 2026: 185 answers to 175 different questions, for 95 businesses in 11 areas and 16 categories. Each assistant has its own measurement days, and the numbers update with every new measurement.
