We analyzed 5,000 keywords and over 150,000 citations to understand how today’s top AI platforms handle search. The results reveal a rapidly evolving landscape:

-Google AI Mode surfaces more unique domains than any other platform
-Perplexity aligns most closely with traditional Google rankings
-ChatGPT pulls from deeper, lower-ranking URLs
-Reddit, YouTube, and user-generated platforms dominate visibility
-Citation patterns shift based on query intent and content type

This isn’t just a shift in ranking.

It’s a fundamental change in how visibility is earned.

If your content isn’t trustworthy, reference-worthy, and distributed in the right ecosystems, it may never appear in AI search.

Generative Engine Optimization is no longer optional.
It's the next frontier.
