The referees of fuel & ev charging.
The independent sources AI models cite when answering fuel & ev charging questions — the places a brand needs to be seen, reviewed and ranked.
Tesco converts reads into citations. BP doesn't.
When Claude or ChatGPT opens a brand's own pages while answering, does the page make the cited-sources list? Tesco converts 33% of reads; BP just 22%. That gap is a content problem, not a visibility problem.
