How to read this report
What the sources tell you
Each website is counted once per captured answer that links to it, even when several pages from that site are cited. Expand a website to inspect those pages and the associated queries.
The filter for answers without Capital.com identifies citations in answers where the broker was not mentioned. It does not mean Capital.com is absent from the cited page.
How brokers are scored
Position score uses the first reliable broker list, table or heading sequence. Position 1 earns 100 points. Each later position earns 75% of the preceding points. Scores are averaged across answers with a reliable broker order.
A broker absent from the scored list earns zero for that answer, even if it is mentioned elsewhere. An answer with no reliable order is excluded from every broker's position denominator. Mention rate separately counts mentions anywhere in all captured answers.
Where the evidence ends
Captured answers from Ahrefs Brand Radar form the sample. Country and segment coverage varies. An empty selection means missing measurement.
The gold segment includes gold trading broker queries, broader than explicit gold CFD wording. Sources and answers change over time. This report records a research snapshot.
Position formula and evidence rules
100 * 0.75 ** (position - 1)
The first four positions earn 100, 75, 56.25 and 42.1875 points. A broker's position score is its total points divided by the number of answers with reliable ordering. The result is shown out of 100. Display values are rounded and calculations retain full precision.
Positions retain entries outside the broker comparison set. Shared entries receive the same position and points. Ambiguous or unstructured answers are not treated as zeros. Open a captured answer to inspect its detected order, scoring status and supporting excerpts.
Mention rate uses the full captured answer sample. A mention or an early position does not imply endorsement. Country samples differ, so comparisons are directional.
