Key takeaways
What this check tells you
Concentration
In Best Luxury Hotels, the top 3 properties capture 63.2% of AI mentions versus an expected 33.3% if recommendations were spread evenly across all 9 entities.
Concentration
Best Romantic Hotels shows the same pattern: Delta Hotels by Marriott, Hotel Gouverneur, and Auberge du Lac Saint-Pierre take half of all mentions against an 27.3% even-split baseline.
Movement
Best Local Experiences is the most unstable category tracked, with 73 entity-position changes recorded against a base of 42 entities between the September 3 and September 7 checks.
Distinctiveness
Boréalis appears as a top-3 pick across five separate categories (Must-See Attractions, Best Attractions for Families, Best Historical Attractions, Best Hidden Gems, Best Rainy-Day Attractions, Best Local Experiences), more than any other named entity in the dataset.
Lead finding
Trois-Rivières registers a 0% distinctiveness score, far below the 22% network average, and goes unmentioned in all 15 indirect AI question tests.
AI assistants overwhelmingly frame Trois-Rivières around its culinary scene and romantic appeal, with supporting notes on craft beer, fine dining, and historic charm. Sentiment is strongly positive at 97% across 308 rated mentions, yet the destination shows almost no distinctiveness (0% vs a 22% network average) and low cross-model agreement (2% vs 8%). A clear theme gap exists around 'Families,' an angle largely missing from current AI narratives. Compounding this, the destination is not recommended or mentioned in any of the 15 tracked indirect questions, signaling limited visibility beyond direct searches.
