The gap
Cited more often than ranked
| Domain | Citations | Page-one finishes | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| docs.python.org | 20 | 0 | +20 |
| developer.mozilla.org | 13 | 0 | +13 |
| digitalocean.com | 10 | 0 | +10 |
| aws.amazon.com | 10 | 0 | +10 |
These domains earn a place in Google's own answer more often than they earn a place on page one. Whatever gets a source into an AI Overview, it is not only ranking.
Intent
By what the searcher wants
| Intent | Queries | AI Overview |
|---|---|---|
| commercial | 33 | 33.3% |
| informational | 59 | 76.3% |
| comparison | 14 | 42.9% |
Intent is assigned when the query enters the corpus, not inferred afterwards, so this split is stable from week to week.
