“Best of” list

In AirOps’ review of what AI tools quote, “best of” lists made up 21.9% of quoted pages, more than any other kind. And 80.9% of the lists quoted were on other people’s sites. Only 19.1% were written by a company about itself. Software leans on these lists more than any other industry: 35.37% of the pages AI tools quoted about software were “best of” lists (AirOps).

For a software company, the lists that matter are the ones for your category and the buyers you serve: on review blogs, newsletters, comparison sites and other companies’ resource pages. If a list that AI tools read leaves you out, their answer may leave you out too.

Getting added starts with asking: a short, personal note to the writer, with something they can check, like a free trial or your docs. Where AI gets its answers about software explains how to find the lists that matter for you.
