State of AI Search: NetSuite Integrators
Which NetSuite partners get recommended by AI search?
Overview
NetSuite's integration partner ecosystem shows RSM with a clear lead at 42 citations. Folio3 and Myers-Holum tie for second at 29 each. We tested 12 queries across 63 companies. All 63 were cited at least once, but only 12 appear on both engines — the lowest cross-engine overlap of any vertical we studied. This suggests NetSuite integrators have the most room to improve their multi-engine AI visibility.

Methodology
Scope & Testing Window
63 companies in the NetSuite Integrators vertical were tested across 12 buyer-intent queries using 2 AI search engines: ChatGPT (GPT-4o, OpenAI) and Perplexity (Sonar Pro). Fieldwork dates: May 20 – May 27, 2026.
AI Engines & Configuration
ChatGPT was tested with web browsing disabled to isolate the model's trained knowledge from live search results. Perplexity was tested in its default mode, which retrieves and synthesizes live web sources.
Geography & Account Controls
All queries were run from US-based IP addresses using English-language prompts. Results may differ by region, language, and account history. Fresh browser sessions with no prior conversation history were used for each query batch. No custom instructions or plugins were enabled. ChatGPT was accessed via the Plus plan; Perplexity via the Pro plan.
Query Design
Queries were designed to represent buyer-intent searches — the kinds of queries prospects use when evaluating software or service providers. Informational queries (e.g., "what is endpoint security") were excluded. The full query set is available in the downloadable CSV.
Company Selection
63 NetSuite integration partners were sourced from Oracle's SuiteCloud Partner Directory, Clutch.co listings, and G2 categories for NetSuite implementation and consulting services.
What Counts as a Citation
A citation is counted when a company is named as a recommendation, solution, or notable provider in an AI engine's response to a buyer-intent query. Passing mentions in disclaimers, generic lists of alternatives, or follow-up clarification prompts are excluded.
Scoring Rules
Each company received one citation point per appearance in an AI engine response, regardless of position within the response. A company mentioned first and a company mentioned last both receive one citation. No weighting by position, prominence, or sentiment was applied. Total citations = sum of appearances across all queries and both engines.
Repetitions & Statistical Note
Each query was run once per engine per testing session. AI responses are non-deterministic — running the same query again may produce different results. This study captures a single snapshot, not a statistical average. Because each query was run once (not repeated), these results represent a single observation per query-engine pair, not a statistical estimate. Confidence intervals and p-values do not apply. Treat the data as a structured snapshot of AI engine behavior during the testing window, not as a stable measurement.
Engine Coverage Note
This study covers two AI engines (ChatGPT and Perplexity). Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and other AI search products were not included. We plan to expand engine coverage in Q3 2026.

Limitations
AI engine responses vary by session, account, and region. Results reflect a specific testing window.
Only two AI engines were tested. Google Gemini, Claude, and Copilot were not included. We plan to expand engine coverage in future quarters.
Citation counts reflect presence in responses, not position weighting or sentiment.
The 12 queries tested cover major buyer-intent categories but do not represent all possible search variations.
Each query was run once per engine. Results represent a single snapshot, not a statistical average across multiple runs.
