Industry context
Industry context (external research)
External research — not our datasetWhile our own benchmark dataset grows, here is what published third-party research says about how AI engines pick their sources. These numbers are not derived from our audits.
~50% of AI citations point to content published in the last 13 weeks
AI answers strongly favor recent content. Half of what gets cited was published within roughly the last three months.

Fresh content earns roughly 3.2× more AI citations
Pages published within the last 30 days are cited about three times as often as older content answering the same questions.

Reddit is among the most-cited domains in AI answers
Across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, community discussion threads rank among the sources AI cites most often.
