Engine by engine
Squarespace vs Wix: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend website builder, Wix is recommended more often than Squarespace — scoring 66/100 for AI visibility versus 65/100. Wix shows up in 70% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Squarespace shows up in 70%.
The gap is widest on ChatGPT, where Wix is clearly favoured: Squarespace is recommended 80% of the time and Wix 100%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What are the best website builders for small businesses?” is more likely to put Wix on its shortlist. Both are in the running, but the more consistently a brand is described the same way across the web, the more confidently the models name it.
