About This Data

The information on this page is refreshed on a rolling basis so that readers always have access to the most current intelligence. The dataset currently displayed was fetched on March 15, 2026 at 14:25:32 (UTC+7 · Jakarta / Bangkok). If you check this page at a different point in time the figures may differ, as country-level access policies and search engine market positions shift continuously. We publish this reference to help strategists, SEO practitioners, and growth teams make informed decisions about which search engines and LLMs to prioritise, whether that means doubling down on Google in open markets, investing in Baidu or Yandex for restricted regions, or building an AI-answer presence on emerging platforms like Perplexity, ChatGPT, or Gemini.

We are genuinely open to feedback. If any data on this page turns out to be inaccurate, we sincerely apologise; that reflects a gap in our team's process, and we own it fully. This dataset is the product of several contributors, and we are continuously improving our workflows to make it more accurate and more useful. We are human, and errors will happen; what matters is that we correct them. Your input is truly valuable to us. If you spot something that could make this data better, please send your findings to [email protected] and we will read every message.
