AI Visibility

AI visibility is the new frontier of search — being cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity when users ask about services, brands, and topics. By 2026, 25% of organic search traffic is projected to shift to AI chatbots. Cited pages earn 35% more organic clicks and 91% more paid clicks than uncited competitors.

Quick Reference

Gemini	AI Overview source cards	Always live; real-time retrieval
