AI Visibility Playbook Part Two

From Citations to Action

Stop relying on generic LLM citation rankings. The sources shaping AI answers depend on your industry, market, and category.

 

Generic citation studies are useful for understanding the broad AI information landscape. But they can’t tell a financial services team, automotive brand or healthcare communicator which sources actually matter for the answers they want to influence.

Our new Playbook uses industry, market, and category-level citation data to show why the source ecosystem changes as you get closer to the questions your audience really asks, and how to turn that intelligence into action.

Generic rankings only tell you part of the story

Large platforms still appear frequently across AI answers. But once you look at a specific industry and market, specialist, local, regulatory, and trade sources quickly rise to the top.

Explore the sources shaping AI answers in your market

Filter our analysis across 12 industries and 6 countries to see which sources LLMs cite most frequently for your sector and market.

What the analysis reveals

Your industry has its own GEO ecosystem

The sources shaping AI answers differ materially across sectors.

Geography can rewrite the source set

Geographic influence is about which sources carry weight within that market.

Category changes it again

Even within the same industry and country, different categories can surface different specialists, regulatory, trade, review and mainstream sources.

Feature image

Build a GEO strategy around your brand’s ecosystem, not everyone else’s.

 
The next phase of GEO is not about appearing everywhere. It’s about understanding the sources that repeatedly shape the answers you want to influence, then focusing your PR, content, and digital activity where it matters most.
 

Methodology note: The analysis contains 1,972 unique earned-source domains ranked by citation frequency and how often LLMs cite them when answering category-level questions. Coverage varies by industry and market; not every sector is represented in every country.
