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.
SEO.lt †
No company found behind this name. Grok writes it as a company name in its own lists.

- SEO questions in English: 218 of 1,080 answers (20.2%), 167 named first. By model: Mistral 177 (143 first), GPT 7 (3 first) and Grok 34 (21 first); Gemini, Claude and Perplexity none.

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.
| Questions | Links checked | Dead links | Written by Mistral | Mistral answers with a dead link | Other models' answers with a dead link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEO | 2,642 | 814 (30.8%) | 814 (100.0%) | 334 of 360 | 0 of 1,800 |
In the SEO answers Mistral wrote 2,704 of the 2,753 inline agency links (98.2%). Gemini wrote 49. GPT, 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 Lithuania
- Web search cites pages on agencies' own sites, and sometimes names the agency behind the page. Perplexity cited Seopaslauga.lt's list of agencies, seopaslauga.lt/blogas/geriausios-seo-agenturos-lietuvoje, in 180 of its 180 Lithuanian answers and named Seopaslauga.lt in 74 of the 180 (41.1%). The five models answering from memory never named Seopaslauga.lt.
- Get onto the lists those answers already cite. In Lithuanian, Perplexity cited clutch.co/lt/seo-firms in 180 of 180 answers, info.lt in 180 and versloidejos.lt in 180, all in the table above. Check that your company is on them and that the entry is correct.
- Some names come only from the models answering from memory. SEO.lt was named in 251 of 1,080 Lithuanian answers about SEO agencies, every one of them from a model answering from memory: Mistral wrote 180, Grok 68, GPT 2 and Claude 1. Perplexity, which searches the web, named it in none of its 180 answers. Grok writes it as a company name in its own lists.
- Measure more than once, in both languages. In Lithuanian, Market Rats leads with 26.1%. In English, Evolvery leads with 20.5%. Seoneta is named in 9.4% of English answers and is not in the Lithuanian top 20; Digital Star, named in 19.2% of Lithuanian 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.
