The gap
Cited more often than ranked
| Domain | Citations | Page-one finishes | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| docs.developers.google.com | 17 | 0 | +17 |
| docs.serper.io | 17 | 0 | +17 |
| docs.exa.com | 15 | 0 | +15 |
| docs.dataforseo.com | 15 | 0 | +15 |
| docs.python.org | 15 | 0 | +15 |
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 | 81 | 42.0% |
| informational | 108 | 75.0% |
| comparison | 32 | 40.6% |
| navigational | 15 | 6.7% |
| support | 18 | 33.3% |
Intent is assigned when the query enters the corpus, not inferred afterwards, so this split is stable from week to week.
