Very is the default answer.
Named in 17% of consumer electronics & appliances answers, typically in position 2.3. Amazon follows at 12%, Currys at 12%.
Every brand AI names, ranked.
Visibility is the share of answers naming the brand; citation share is its slice of all brand-owned pages cited; read→cited is how often its pages convert a read into a citation.

Very is named most. That is not the same as being wanted.
Being named is visibility. Underneath it, every answer describes a brand in three ways — how much it stands out, how much it belongs, and how much it is returned to. In consumer electronics & appliances, Apple leads attraction at 143 against RGB Direct at 82, indexed on the category at 100.

The referees of consumer electronics & appliances.
The independent sources AI models cite when answering consumer electronics & appliances questions — the places a brand needs to be seen, reviewed and ranked.
John Lewis converts reads into citations. Samsung doesn't.
When Claude or ChatGPT opens a brand's own pages while answering, does the page make the cited-sources list? John Lewis converts 67% of reads; Samsung just 0%. That gap is a content problem, not a visibility problem.
