# Sample frame for research study #1 — "We audited 100 GEO agencies' own websites."
#
# HOW THIS LIST WAS BUILT (this is the methodology; do not change it silently)
#
# Every domain below was named as a listed entry in a page that currently ranks
# for "best generative engine optimization agencies", "top answer engine
# optimization agencies" or a close variant. The frame is therefore "agencies
# the GEO/AEO listicles themselves name", not "agencies we picked", which is the
# only version of this sample that survives someone asking how we chose.

# EXCLUDED ON PURPOSE, and each exclusion is a line in the published methodology:
#   - Tools and platforms rather than agencies (Profound, Peec, Otterly,
#     Prerender, Semrush, Surfer, Conductor, Writesonic). The claim is about
#     agencies selling GEO, so a SaaS company in the frame would weaken it.
#   - visibility100x.com. We are not scoring ourselves inside our own sample.
#     Our score is published separately, beside the distribution, so a reader can
#     see it without it being counted as a data point.
#
# Blank lines and # comments are ignored by run-audits.mjs.
