Cite Solutions Research

Yoga Bar holds the fragmented category lead at 36.7% despite Gemini preferring The Whole Truth; Farmley gained 5.8 percentage points to 19% as farmley.com entered the citation pool.

The move

Yoga Bar held rank one at 36.7% citation share, gaining 5.4 percentage points from the previous edition, leading ChatGPT (28.6%, rank one) and Google AI Mode (40.8%, rank one) but trailing The Whole Truth on Gemini, where The Whole Truth leads at 46.9%.

Farmley was the biggest mover, gaining 5.8 percentage points to reach 19%, with strength on ChatGPT (26.5%, rank three) and Gemini (24.5%, rank four) but notably weak coverage on Google AI Mode (6.1%, rank seven); farmley.com entered the citation pool this edition, consistent with the gain. theyogabar.com, happilo.com, and opensecret.in also entered the source pool in the same edition, correlated with broad gains for those brands.

Plix registered zero citation share this edition with no mentions across any engine.

What it means

This is the most fragmented of the ten tracked verticals, with the leader below 40% and no brand near-locked on even one engine in a dominant way.

The Gemini-versus-other-engines split between Yoga Bar and The Whole Truth is a durable structural feature: Yoga Bar holds overall rank one on ChatGPT and AI Mode strength, but Gemini consistently favors The Whole Truth, and this engine divergence creates genuine rank instability at the top.

The coordinated entry of four brand sites into the citation pool correlating with single-edition gains for those brands is a strong pattern, and the most actionable lever in this category is ensuring the brand's own domain is present in the AI citation pool and indexed by each engine.

Farmley's AI Mode weakness (6.1%) despite ChatGPT and Gemini gains indicates incomplete pool coverage on that specific engine, and closing that gap is the next structural step for the brand.
