Google just admitted the problem.

On 15 October, Google announced it's adding more links to AI Mode and AI Overviews, moving them higher in answers, and testing a box near the top that features one or two websites. Why would Google do that? Because the click is dying. Pew Research found people click a result 8% of the time when an AI summary appears, versus 15% when it doesn't. Only 1% click a source cited inside the summary. Read that again: the citation is the new ranking. If AI doesn't name you in the answer, a better link position won't save you. Three questions every marketing team should be able to answer this week:

1. Which AI answers mention us?
2. Which mention our competitors instead?
3. What sources is AI reading to decide? We built EYE to answer exactly those three. 👉 https://eye.synapsedatagroup.com/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=geo50&utm_content=d01 #GEO #AISearch #GoogleAIMode #DigitalMarketing
