This project analyzes how brands

This project analyzes how brands are being discovered, mentioned, and cited across the generative AI search landscape (GEO).

Industry benchmarks highlight a critical consolidation in AI discovery: ChatGPT drives an overwhelming 95.1% of all AI-referred traffic to business sites, experiencing a +101% referral growth rate from January to August 2026. While alternative engines like Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude divide the remaining market share, visibility models show that AI citations are highly platform-specific. For instance, ChatGPT averages 15 distinct cited sources per informational response, showing how strongly visibility depends on structured presence across trusted third-party sources.

The dashboard was designed to map out this ecosystem and track multi-engine visibility index scores. It enables brands to look past traditional SEO and engineer their digital footprints to feed directly into the primary sources LLM engines crawl.

The central takeaway is clear: Dominating AI search is not a broad guessing game. Winning requires a highly targeted focus on the citation channels and indexing parameters shaping visibility on ChatGPT, which accounted for 95.1% of AI-referred traffic in the benchmark.
