Definitions

Glossary

Three terms carry every number we publish. Each has one definition, written to be quoted whole, and its own address, so a reader or an assistant asking what a term means lands on the definition and not on a page that happens to use it. Definitions change only with the method version, currently v1.0 of 21 Jul 2026.

Using these terms

The terms are free to use and cite, including by agencies and vendors in their own material. We ask for the attribution to stay attached, so a reader can trace a definition to the method behind it. The press page has boilerplate and sourced figures; the methodology has the changelog.

G-Lab Research studies how local businesses are found, understood and booked by people and by AI assistants. We publish the method before the findings, name every source, and version the methodology so a result can always be traced to the way it was measured.

Questions about a figure, the sample or the method: hello@g-lab.studio. Corrections are published in the methodology changelog. Quoting us: how to cite.
