Names we could not verify, and which model wrote them

A † name appears in the answers, and we could not establish a company behind it. For each one: how many answers named it, how often it came first, and which models wrote it.

SEOSEON †

The company behind this name is not confirmed.

  • SEO questions in Finnish: 215 of 1,080 answers (19.9%), 127 named first. By model: Mistral 109 (88 first), GPT 34 (4 first), Grok 70 (35 first) and Claude 2 (0 first); Gemini and Perplexity none.
  • SEO questions in English: 75 of 1,080 answers (6.9%), 16 named first. By model: GPT 47 (5 first), Gemini 2 (0 first), Grok 25 (11 first) and Claude 1 (0 first); Mistral and Perplexity none.
  • Advertising questions in Finnish: 4 of 540 answers (0.7%), 0 named first. By model: Mistral 2 (0 first) and Grok 2 (0 first); GPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity none.
  • Advertising questions in English: 1 of 540 answers (0.2%), 0 named first. All from Mistral.
  • Media questions in Finnish: 10 of 540 answers (1.9%), 2 named first. By model: Mistral 8 (0 first) and Grok 2 (2 first); GPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity none.
  • Media questions in English: 1 of 540 answers (0.2%), 0 named first. All from Mistral.

Links to sites that do not exist

A link counts as dead when its host had no DNS A or NS record when we checked on 8 and 9 September 2026. Hosts linked fewer than three times were not checked.

QuestionsLinks checkedDead linksWritten by MistralMistral answers with a dead linkOther models' answers with a dead link

In the SEO answers Mistral wrote 3,099 of the 3,237 inline agency links (95.7%). Gemini wrote 128 and GPT 10. Grok, Claude and Perplexity wrote none, so the dead-link rate describes Mistral and tells nothing about them.

Perplexity lists its web sources apart from the answer text, and those source lists were not DNS-checked.

Where the web-search answers came from

Perplexity searches the web before it answers and lists the pages it used. These are the pages it cited most often in its 180 answers per language to the SEO questions. Pages on the sites of agencies in the ranking are listed separately under each table.

What this means for agencies in Finland

  1. Web search cites pages on agencies' own sites, and sometimes names the agency behind the page. Perplexity cited Jussi Viljanen's page jussiviljanen.com/suomen-parhaat-hakukoneoptimoijat/ in 180 of its 180 Finnish answers and named Jussi Viljanen in 111 of the 180 (61.7%). The five models answering from memory never named Jussi Viljanen. Being cited did not always mean being named: Kasvuly's list of agencies, kasvuly.com/blog/best-seo-agencies-in-finland, was also cited in 149 answers, and Perplexity named Kasvuly in 25 (13.9%).
  2. Get onto the lists those answers already cite. In Finnish, Perplexity cited ocast.com/fi/agencies/seo in 179 of 180 answers, clutch.co/fi/seo-firms in 164 and goodfirms.co/seo-agencies/finland in 154, all in the table above. Check that your company is on them and that the entry is correct.
  3. Some names come only from the models answering from memory. SEOSEON was named in 215 of 1,080 Finnish answers about SEO agencies, every one of them from a model answering from memory: Mistral wrote 109, Grok 70, GPT 34 and Claude 2. Perplexity, which searches the web, named it in none of its 180 answers.
  4. Measure more than once, in both languages. In Finnish, Suomen Digimarkkinointi leads with 39.2%. In English, Hopkins leads with 37.6%. YIPI is named in 11.5% of English answers and is not in the Finnish top 20; Meio, named in 13.9% of Finnish answers, is not in the English top 20. Each question here went to each model 15 times, because one answer is one draw. Repeat the same questions on a fixed schedule and compare like with like.

How to run the same measurement for your own company: answer engine optimization and the three numbers worth reporting.

Who is it for?

Questions people ask

Which SEO agency does AI name most often in Finland?

Suomen Digimarkkinointi. Six AI models named it in 423 of 1,080 Finnish answers about SEO agencies (39.2%) in September 2026, followed by Hopkins with 32.9% and Tulos Helsinki with 24.0%. In the English answers, Hopkins led with 37.6%.

Does the question language change which agencies AI names?

Yes. In Finnish, Suomen Digimarkkinointi leads with 39.2%. In English, Hopkins leads with 37.6%. YIPI is named in 11.5% of English answers and is not in the Finnish top 20; Meio, named in 13.9% of Finnish answers, is not in the English top 20.

Which models name SEOSEON, a name we could not tie to a company?

SEOSEON was named in 215 of 1,080 Finnish answers about SEO agencies, every one of them from a model answering from memory: Mistral wrote 109, Grok 70, GPT 34 and Claude 2. Perplexity, which searches the web, named it in none of its 180 answers.

How was this measured?

We wrote the questions a buyer asks: 12 SEO, 6 advertising, 6 media and 12 PR questions, each asked in Finnish and English. Each question went to six models through their APIs (GPT-5.6, Claude Sonnet 5, Gemini 3.7 Flash, Grok 4.5, Mistral Large and Perplexity sonar), 15 times per question and model, and a company counted once per answer that named it. Five of the models answered from memory; Perplexity searched the web. In all, 6,480 answers were collected from 7 to 9 September 2026.

Does this ranking measure the quality of an agency's work?

No. It counts how often AI answers name a company. It does not measure quality of work, client results, prices or market share.

Other markets: Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark, Norway. All eight markets.
