Engine by engine
Wix vs WordPress: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend website builder, WordPress is recommended more often than Wix — scoring 60/100 for AI visibility versus 48/100. WordPress shows up in 70% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Wix shows up in 50%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where WordPress is clearly favoured: Wix is recommended 0% of the time and WordPress 60%. 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 is the best website builder for small businesses?” is more likely to put WordPress 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.
