Which website builder do AI assistants recommend?

Week of 7 November 2026 (ISO week 45) · Measured 7 November 2026 · Compared with 1 November 2026 · By the Mention Impossible team

Takeaway. Wix was named in 34 of 40 website builder answers, the same as on 1 November, ahead of Squarespace (27, down from 31) and Webflow (25, up from 24). Squarespace's four fewer answers were spread across Perplexity (16 of 24, from 18), Gemini (6 of 8, from 7) and Claude (3 of 4, from 4); ChatGPT was unchanged at 2 of 4. wix.com was the most-cited domain, in 14 of 40 answers.

Read with care. Samples are small (n = 40 answers in this category; ChatGPT and Claude contribute 4 each) and changes are not significance-tested. One week compared with one week is not a trend. Pooled figures weight Perplexity most (24 of 40). API answers can differ from the consumer apps.
