Check your own revenue queries in AI Mode
Run your top 3 buying queries three times each and count how often you're cited against a competitor.
What gets a page cited instead
The pages and sources AI Mode pulls from, and the first change to make on yours this week.
Why this topic matters
A randomized trial of 1,100 people found that moving users into AI Mode cut clicks to outside sites by 18.8 points (Penn and Northeastern, 2026). The #1 organic result is cited in AI Mode only 25% of the time (seoClarity), and 88% of AI Mode citations are not in the organic results for the same query (Moz, about 40,000 queries). Most teams still report their rankings.
