AI platform citation patterns
Different answer engines lean on different source stacks, so an aggregate 'AI visibility' score can hide the engine where a brand is actually absent. - AEO 101
Citation overlap strategy
Low citation overlap between ChatGPT and Perplexity argues for engine-specific monitoring rather than one universal source strategy. - AEO 101
AI Search Shift
ChatGPT's source alignment with Google can change quickly, but even aligned citations do not behave like ordinary position-one search clicks. - AEO 101
AI Search Volatility
Large shares of cited domains changed across a one-month comparison, making one-run visibility snapshots unsafe planning inputs. - AEO 101
Introducing Prompt Research Reports
Prompt-volume claims depend on retrieval, clustering and coverage choices, so the product's own method description belongs beside any market-size number. - AEO 101
The data on Reddit and AI search
Reddit is a meaningful but not dominant aggregate citation source; source type, topic and content age matter more than the slogan 'AI loves Reddit.' - AEO 101
How to optimize for answer engines
Tables, headings, lists, schema and complete answers are plausible structural signals, but the public study does not publish a causal lift for any one change. - AEO 101
ChatGPT intent landmark study
AI prompt intent does not map cleanly onto classic search intent, so keyword-derived prompt lists can misstate what people ask assistants to do. - AEO 101
Prompt Research Reports
Prompt research is a retrieval-and-clustering problem, not a direct equivalent of exact keyword volume from a search ad system.
