When someone asks ChatGPT or Google which steam shower to buy, the answer they get decides
whether they ever reach your website. These are the 251 questions we put to the assistants
every month, so you can see exactly where Vidalux gets recommended and where it does not.
We ran a first check on 2 August across a sample of these questions. Vidalux was recommended
outright on 2 of them, and cited as a source on 4. The strongest result was
Google's own AI answer, which named Vidalux first, ahead of Insignia and AquaLusso.

What we would like from you
Have a read and tell us what is missing. You and your team hear the real questions on the
phone and in your inbox every day, and that is knowledge no export can give us. Anything you
add goes straight into next month's check.
No need to go through all 251 line by line … skim your biggest lines and see whether the
questions look like the ones your customers actually ask.
Where the questions came from
Most came from what Google actually shows people who search these topics, and from the buying
guides your competitors have published … a competitor only writes a guide for a question
buyers really ask. The rest came from questions your own customers have sent you over the years.
They are deliberately weighted towards people who are close to buying, because those are the
questions the assistants go and search the web for. Ask one of them something general and it
usually answers from memory without quoting anybody, and there is nothing to win.
