The pages AI reads before it names a construction project management vendor
The 20 pages cited most across 150 AI answers recorded on 22 September 2026, and the Index vendors each one lists.
From 150 answers recorded on 2026-09-22 (10 buyer questions, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, three runs each), 464 distinct pages were cited. These are the 20 cited most often.
The plain lesson: of these 20 pages, nine are vendors' own pages, eight are editorial roundups, two are directories or review sites and one is another kind of page. The page cited most, fieldwire.com, appears in 22 of the 150 answers. Roundups and directories are pages a vendor can ask to be listed on; a vendor's own pages are the ones it controls. Of the 8 third-party pages that could be read, Procore is listed on 8, Autodesk Construction Cloud on 6, Buildertrend on 6.

How to read this: a count is the number of answers that cited the page. The vendors column comes from fetching each page on 2026-09-28 (robots.txt respected) and matching the 22 Index vendors in this category by name; a vendor listed on a page is not a vendor the engines named. A page cited today may not be cited next month.
