Editor's note

Cite Solutions Research

Yoga Bar held first in healthy snacking at just 30%, a fragmented field where Gemini broke from the others to cite The Whole Truth most.

The move

Yoga Bar remained the leader at 30% citation share, down 4.8 percentage points, narrowly ahead of The Whole Truth at 26.7%.

The engines split: ChatGPT and Google AI Mode named Yoga Bar at 30% and 28%, while Gemini ranked The Whole Truth first at 42%.

True Elements was the biggest riser, up 5.4 percentage points to 21.3%, the only top brand to gain. No single source-pool change explains the reshuffle.

What it means

This is the most fragmented vertical in the index, with the leader below 30% and four brands clustered within nine percentage points, so no brand owns the category and citations are widely distributed.

The leader's grip is weak and engine-dependent, since Gemini already prefers The Whole Truth, so Yoga Bar's lead rests on two engines and a few percentage points.

For an operator, fragmentation is the opportunity, because a small absolute gain in citations can move a brand several rank positions, as True Elements just showed.

Gemini is the engine most out of step and the clearest place to contest.
