What AI voice share means for payment processing & risk vendors

B2B buyers increasingly start vendor research in AI engines. When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity which payment processing & risk vendor to evaluate, the answer shapes their shortlist before they visit a single website. Vendors with high voice share get into consideration sets they didn't have to earn through ads or SEO.

This data is measured via standardized, context-free API calls — the same query sent to each LLM in a fresh session, repeated across 12 buyer-intent prompts. It represents baseline citation behavior, not personalized results.
