Google is (unsurprisingly) the 2nd most cited domain in AI Mode

[Steptoe]

We all knew it was gonna happen, but this recent study shows that pages on Google's own properties are being shown over the majority of other domains, with an apparent increase of 8.4x over the period of April 15th and June 30th (though I couldn't see any previous published data): https://www.tryprofound.com/blog/google-com-is-now-ai-mode-s-2-cited-domain

What this means for brands is that users searching for you brand name via AI Mode will get given a popup panel hosted on Google rather than a link to your site. If this panel is barebones and neglected it'll probably be ignored.

Get those brand signals out there folks!

Pair that with the suspicious claim about sending a billion clicks to websites on AI mode as discussed on this thread, then you know they're up to something.

No matter how you look at it, no one is benefitting from this AI overview scam asides Google.
