04 · What AI says
of 100
the sentiment with which AI cites Eurial's used-car site.
When an assistant cites a site from the Eurial ecosystem, it describes it positively: the four citations of eurialcertified.ro, in Perplexity, have an average sentiment of 90 out of 100, on the pages checked. It is a small series, but the direction is good.
What works
The used-car site is already cited as a source by Perplexity, on questions about used cars.
What comes next
The same structure, on the main site: the “Întreabă Eurial” hub, with 28 answers with figures, is now citable, after the canonical URLs were corrected on 29 September.
05 · First visits
The share of visits from ChatGPT grew almost threefold in a month.
ChatGPT is the assistant that sent visits to eurialselection.ro in August and September. The number of visits doubled, and its share of all traffic rose from 0.16% to 0.44%. That is two months of data: a signal, not yet a channel.
What works
The direction is right: a visitor arriving from an AI recommendation has already read an answer that names Eurial.
What comes next
We link visits from AI to quote requests and test drives, so we can say what a ChatGPT visitor is worth, not just how many there are.

What readers ask us about the study
How does Eurial appear in AI assistants' answers?
In Month 1, Eurial ranks #23 of 224 tracked brands and is the third dealer after Tiriac Auto and Autoklass. It scores 78 out of 100 on new Peugeot and Citroën, appears in 3 of 4 questions about used cars, and is mentioned in 12 of the 192 answers analysed, or 6.25%. This level is the base from which progress is measured.
What does “#23 of 224” mean?
It is Eurial's position in a visibility ranking of AI answers that covers car brands, dealers, banks, leasing companies and insurers, in other words everyone the assistants mention when a buyer asks about cars. It is not a sales ranking.
Which themes are next?
The themes on which Eurial does not yet appear in answers: hybrid and electric, leasing and financing, insurance and new commercial vehicles. These are the themes we open in the following months, with answer pages on the company's own site, and the progress shows in the page's timeline.
How solid is the measurement?
Month 1 is a first measurement: 24 questions and 8 assistants, at the end of September 2026. Figures per assistant come from two measurements each and can vary from one day to the next. That is why the month-on-month comparison uses the same questions and the same assistants.
Is AI already bringing customers?
A start: visits from ChatGPT reached 0.44% of the site's traffic in September, up from 0.16% in August. That is two months of data, and the link between these visits and quote requests is not yet measured. It is a Month 3 objective.
Did Websem increase Eurial's visibility?
We do not report that yet: Month 1 is the first measurement, so there is no earlier month to compare with. Gains or drops are reported starting with Month 2, on this page.
Why do you not publish the number of visits?
For client confidentiality. Shares and ratios support the conclusions without revealing traffic volumes.
