These are the 3 questions we put to all 4 engines.

Word for word, exactly as a shopper would type them. Every finding below comes from the answers to these, nothing else.

We built them from your own inventory — a car on your lot, your biggest categories, your payments — and anchored them to Gatineau. These are questions you should be showing up for.

Three marketplaces and rival dealerships beat you on your own inventory.

All 3 of these questions were about cars sitting on your lot, in Gatineau, the market you serve. You were a correct answer every time, and 8 of 12 went to someone else.

Being linked at the bottom of an answer is not the same as being the answer. Dupont & Dupont Honda was the recommendation in 4. Three competitors split the other 8 between them, which is why no single name below looks like it is beating you. Together, they are.

2 further answers went to no single source we could name, so they are not in the bars above.

119 citations across those 12 answers. 10 send the shopper to you.

Every source an AI answer cites is a door the shopper can walk through. Here's where each of those 119 doors actually leads:

We asked ChatGPT what buyers ask every day

Your stock earns 3 research questions. Your site answers 2.

Shoppers put these questions to AI assistants before they know a year, make or model to search for — and each one is a question about Gatineau. Engines retrieve pages; a site with no page shaped like the question has nothing to be retrieved for. Every question below is earned by cars we read on your own site, and every “answered” links the page of yours that proves it.

• “can I get a car loan with bad credit in Gatineau?”ANSWERED — YOUR PAGE ↗
• “what car can I get for under $400/month in Gatineau?”no page — needs a payment-based browse page
• “what's my car worth as a trade-in in Gatineau?”ANSWERED — YOUR PAGE ↗
