Key Takeaways
- Edens Garden is mentioned in 69.05% of benchmark answers and recommended in 65.71%, but it is seldom ranked first.
- The main gap is position, not reach: the brand is often shortlisted, while the leading competitor is chosen more often.
- One medium-priority claim needs verification, and several cited third-party pages should be checked before any correction requests.
- The highest-value owned page is the single-oils collection, and the strongest content opportunities center on purity and best-brand buyer questions.
Answer Capsule
In November 2026, Edens Garden appeared in 290 of 420 AI answers included in the Essential Oil benchmark (69.05%). It received 276 recommendations (65.71%), with 234 Top 3 placements and 11 first-place recommendations. A mention means the company appeared in an answer; a recommendation means the answer affirmatively endorsed it.
Our plan compares the company with its competitors, checks conflicting AI claims against reliable sources, and identifies website pages, third-party sources and buyer questions to address. The historical results show how the figures changed across available months. Different monthly samples limit those comparisons, and conflicting AI claims require verification before corrections are proposed.

Questions This Section Answers
- How do Edens Garden mentions, recommendations and placements compare with its Essential Oil peers?
Edens Garden recorded 290 mentions (69.05%) and 276 recommendations (65.71%) across 420 answers included in the benchmark. Top 3 placements numbered 234; first-place recommendations numbered 11. Framing among its mentions was 276 positive, 14 neutral and 0 negative.
Rank | Company | Mentions | Mention rate | Recommendations | Recommendation rate | Top 3 | Top 3 rate | #1 | #1 rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Plant Therapy | 388 | 92.38% | 366 | 87.14% | 364 | 86.67% | 312 | 74.29% |
2 | Edens Garden | 290 | 69.05% | 276 | 65.71% | 234 | 55.71% | 11 | 2.62% |
3 | Rocky Mountain Oils | 267 | 63.57% | 255 | 60.71% | 194 | 46.19% | 10 | 2.38% |
4 | 202 | 48.10% | 177 | 42.14% | 34 | 8.10% | 2 | 0.48% | |
5 | 170 | 40.48% | 144 | 34.29% | 37 | 8.81% | 6 | 1.43% | |
6 | 274 | 65.24% | 95 | 22.62% | 46 | 10.95% | 7 | 1.67% | |
7 | Young Living | 230 | 54.76% | 57 | 13.57% | 22 | 5.24% | 11 | 2.62% |
8 | Vitruvi | 44 | 10.48% | 39 | 9.29% | 21 | 5.00% | 12 | 2.86% |
9 | Revive Essential Oils | 20 | 4.76% | 18 | 4.29% | 6 | 1.43% | 2 | 0.48% |
10 | Public Goods | 1 | 0.24% | 1 | 0.24% | 0 | 0.00% | 0 | 0.00% |
Edens Garden is named in most answers and endorsed in most of those, so the brand is already part of the conversation rather than absent from it. The gap sits in position: it is frequently shortlisted but rarely placed first, while the leading competitor holds first place far more often. That pattern suggests the brand is trusted as an option but not yet the default answer.
The practical implication is that reach is not the constraint. The agency would focus on what makes an answer choose one brand over another, such as clear differentiators and evidence that supports a first-choice case. Framing is already overwhelmingly positive, so the work is about strengthening the case for top placement rather than repairing reputation.
What changed since last month
Questions This Section Answers
- How did Edens Garden counts and coverage differ across the available monthly snapshots?
Metric | Jul 2026 | Aug 2026 | Sep 2026 | Oct 2026 | Nov 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mentions | 341 / 485 (70.31%) | 337 / 506 (66.60%) | 345 / 511 (67.51%) | 291 / 477 (61.01%) | 290 / 420 (69.05%) |
Recommendations | 305 / 485 (62.89%) | 306 / 506 (60.47%) | 309 / 511 (60.47%) | 274 / 477 (57.44%) | 276 / 420 (65.71%) |
Top 3 recommendations | 184 / 485 (37.94%) | 208 / 506 (41.11%) | 221 / 511 (43.25%) | 227 / 477 (47.59%) | 234 / 420 (55.71%) |
#1 recommendations | 5 / 485 (1.03%) | 9 / 506 (1.78%) | 4 / 511 (0.78%) | 13 / 477 (2.73%) | 11 / 420 (2.62%) |
From October 2026 to November 2026, Edens Garden's mention count fell from 291 to 290, while its recommendation count rose from 274 to 276. The recommendation rate was 57.44% and 65.71% respectively.
Across the recorded months, mentions and recommendations moved within a fairly narrow band, with the latest month showing a higher recommendation rate than the month before even as the raw mention count held almost steady. Top-three placements have generally trended upward over the period, while first-place counts remain small and uneven.
These are separate monthly samples, and the answers included differ between months, so the movement should be read as an observed record rather than a trend with a known cause. The agency would treat the latest month as a baseline and watch whether position improves after the proposed work, without promising a particular shift.

Step 1. Measure
Questions This Section Answers
- What should the agency measure and verify first for Edens Garden?
AI answers contained 1 conflicting claim about Edens Garden: 0 critical, 0 high, 1 medium, 0 low. Of these, 0 were rated critical or high priority; the critical claims are included in that total. These ratings help prioritize fact-checking. They do not establish that a company or publisher made an error.
A single disputed claim about Edens Garden appeared in the captured answers, rated medium priority. That is a manageable starting point: it means fact-checking can be targeted rather than sprawling, and the client can decide quickly whether the claim matters enough to act on.
The agency would build a visibility scorecard alongside a short list of claims to verify, each with an owner and an evidence requirement. The scorecard tracks where the brand appears and how it is positioned; the claim list keeps disputed statements from being repeated or quietly accepted before anyone checks them.
Step 2. Make the website consistent
Questions This Section Answers
- Which recorded claim differences about Edens Garden should be verified before proposed page edits?
Review topic | Severity | Recorded AI claim A | Recorded AI claim B |
|---|---|---|---|
name of Thieves-equivalent blend | medium | Guard or Fighting Five | Four Thieves or Shield |
Both columns quote AI answers, not verified company facts. Resolve the entity, date and source before deciding whether a correction is warranted; different dates can explain an apparent conflict.
The disputed topic concerns the name of a Thieves-equivalent blend, with answers offering different names. Both recorded versions are AI claims, not verified company facts, so the first step is to confirm what the company actually calls the product and whether the answers are describing the same item at different times.
The agency would verify against current primary sources before drafting anything. If a page brief is warranted, it would state the approved name plainly and answer the common comparison question directly. If the sources disagree or the match is unclear, the item stays out of the correction queue rather than being resolved by guesswork.
Step 3. Align the external narrative
Questions This Section Answers
- Which cited third-party pages are relevant to fact review for Edens Garden?
Cited page selected for review | Citation appearances in all captured answers | Answers mentioning the company | Conflicting claims linked to this page |
|---|---|---|---|
https://reddit.com/r/moderatelygranolamoms/comments/llytbe/any_thieves_eo_dupe_suggestions/ | 4 | 0 | 1 |
https://bulkapothecary.com/product/essential-oils/essential-blend-8/ | 1 | 0 | 1 |
https://jenniraincloud.com/diy-thieves-blend/ | 1 | 0 | 1 |
https://theessentialcreative.com/2018/12/04/all-about-thieves-oil-that-is/ | 1 | 0 | 1 |
https://aromatalking.com/edens-garden-essential-oils-review/ | 8 | 4 | 0 |
https://liberia.ubuy.com/product/5B57I4PAQ-edens-garden-spring-limited-edition-3-set-100-pure-essential-oil-essential-oil-synergy-blend-aromatherapy-kit-for-diffuser-therapeutic | 2 | 2 | 0 |
These pages were selected because they relate to the company in the captured answers. Their current contents still need checking before any correction request. A page linked to a conflicting claim is not necessarily its cause, and the same answer may contribute to more than one row.
The cited pages selected for review fall into two groups. Several discuss Thieves-style blends and are linked to the disputed naming claim, while a review page and a marketplace listing mention Edens Garden directly. Citation counts show these pages appear in answers, not that they shaped what those answers said.
The agency would check each page's current contents before proposing any request, then approach publishers only where a specific, evidence-backed clarification is justified. Requests would be framed as corrections of fact, not as requests for endorsement, and responses would be logged separately from confirmed edits.
Step 4. Optimize priority company pages
Questions This Section Answers
- Which observed Edens Garden website pages should receive review briefs?
Company website page | Citation appearances in all captured answers | Benchmark answers citing the page | Recommending answers citing the page |
|---|---|---|---|
https://edensgarden.com/collections/single-oils | 79 | 79 | 79 |
https://edensgarden.com/ | 15 | 13 | 12 |
https://edensgarden.com/pages/comparison-chart | 12 | 2 | 2 |
https://edensgarden.com/blogs/news/comparing-essential-oils-everything-you-need-to-know | 7 | 6 | 6 |
https://edensgarden.com/products/top-single-6-set | 5 | 5 | 4 |
https://edensgarden.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions | 4 | 0 | 0 |
https://edensgarden.com/collections | 3 | 3 | 3 |
https://edensgarden.com/blogs/news/comparing-essential-oils-everything-you-need-to-know?page=2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
The company's website was cited 172 times across 44 distinct page addresses; the table shows 8 pages selected for review. Zeros in the answer columns mean no matching answers were recorded. A cited page is not automatically a page that accompanied a recommendation.
The single-oils collection page accounts for the large majority of citations to the company's site, which makes it the clearest owned asset in the record. The homepage and comparison chart follow at a distance, and the remaining pages appear far less often. A cited page is not automatically one that accompanied a recommendation, so citation frequency alone does not prove influence.
The agency would prepare page briefs for the priority pages using approved facts and the questions buyers actually ask. Each brief would check existing coverage first, so new content fills a real gap rather than duplicating what the site already says.
Step 5. Publish around buyer questions
Questions This Section Answers
- Which observed buyer questions support content briefs for Edens Garden?
Question observed in the research | Benchmark answers to this question | Company mentions | Company recommendations |
|---|---|---|---|
What is the best brand of essential oil? | 6 | 6 | 5 |
What brand of essential oils are pure? | 5 | 5 | 5 |
What brands of essential oils are 100% pure? | 6 | 5 | 5 |
What company produces the best essential oils? | 6 | 5 | 5 |
What is the best essential oil brand? | 5 | 5 | 5 |
What is the highest rated essential oil company? | 5 | 5 | 5 |
Which brand is best for pure essential oils? | 6 | 5 | 5 |
What is the best brand of essential oils? | 6 | 5 | 4 |
These are recorded answer observations, not search volume, verified demand, or proof of missing website content.
The recorded questions cluster tightly around brand choice and purity: which brand is best, which oils are pure, and which company is highest rated. Edens Garden appears in nearly all of these answers and is recommended in most of them, so the brand is already in the consideration set for the questions that matter most.
These are answer observations, not search volume or proof of missing content. The agency would check whether the site already addresses these questions, then draft buyer-question content that gives a direct, evidence-backed answer. Where coverage exists, the work becomes sharpening it rather than adding a new page.
Our 90-day action plan
Questions This Section Answers
- How should the agency sequence the proposed Edens Garden work and judge completion?
Period | Deliverable | Completion criterion |
|---|---|---|
Days 1–30 | Baseline scorecard, scoped fact-review register and page/source shortlist | Each record has an owner, evidence requirement and review status |
Days 31–60 | Approved page briefs and justified publisher requests | Separate confirmed edits, no-change decisions, requests and responses |
Days 61–90 | Buyer-content briefs and a fresh scorecard | Record work completed separately from measured answer outcomes and comparability limits |
The first month establishes the baseline: a visibility scorecard, a scoped fact-review list and a shortlist of pages and sources, each with an owner and a review status. Nothing is corrected in this phase; the point is to know what is disputed and what evidence would settle it.
The second month turns verified findings into approved page briefs and justified publisher requests, with confirmed edits, no-change decisions and responses recorded separately. The third month produces buyer-question content briefs and a fresh scorecard. Completed work is reported apart from measured answer outcomes, since the samples and their comparability limits mean results cannot be attributed to the agency's activity.
Methodology
Questions This Section Answers
- How are Edens Garden answer metrics and citation populations defined?
This report covers 2026-11. The exact dates when the original AI answers were collected have not been verified. The visibility rates use 420 answers that met the benchmark's inclusion rules. A company is recommended only when the answer both endorses it and uses positive wording. Top 3 and first-place counts are part of those recommendations, not extra recommendations.
An answer can mention or recommend several companies, so company counts cannot be added to find the number of distinct answers. The net sentiment score is positive minus negative mentions, divided by all company mentions; it describes answer wording, not customer satisfaction.
The wider citation analysis covers 800 captured answers and 5185 appearances of cited URLs. Citation appearances across all captured answers differ from the number of benchmark answers citing a page and the number that also recommend a company. The current contents of cited pages and disputed company claims still need independent verification.
Monthly sample coverage:
Reporting month | Answers included | AI services covered | Services |
|---|---|---|---|
Jul 2026 | 485 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
Aug 2026 | 506 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
Sep 2026 | 511 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
Oct 2026 | 477 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
Nov 2026 | 420 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
The answer samples differ between months. These comparisons show how the recorded results changed; they do not establish why they changed.
The report covers a single month, and the exact dates the answers were collected have not been verified. Rates use only the answers that met the benchmark's inclusion rules, and a company counts as recommended only when an answer both endorses it and uses positive wording. Top-three and first-place counts sit inside those recommendations rather than adding to them.
Answers can mention several companies, so counts cannot be summed to find distinct answers. Monthly samples differ, so comparisons show how recorded results changed, not why. Cited pages and disputed claims still need independent verification before any action.
Our first three priorities
The first priority is verification. The disputed blend name should be checked against current primary sources, and the cited pages reviewed for their present contents, before any correction or publisher request is drafted. Anything ambiguous stays out of the queue.
The second is the owned pages. The single-oils collection carries most of the site citations, so a page brief there, built on approved facts and buyer questions, offers the most concentrated opportunity. The homepage and comparison chart follow.
The third is buyer-question content. The recorded questions centre on brand choice and purity, and Edens Garden already appears in most of them. Sharpening the site's answers to those questions supports the larger goal of moving from shortlisted to first choice, though no particular gain can be promised.
