Yext just analyzed 17.2 million AI citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude.

Only 11% of cited domains overlap between any two engines. The pages ChatGPT loves, Perplexity ignores. The pages Gemini cites, Claude won't touch.

One GEO strategy isn't enough anymore. You need three.

47% of AI-generated citations now come from pages ranking outside the top 5 on Google.

Domain Authority's correlation with AI citations dropped to 0.18 in April. The big-brand moat is gone — small Cincinnati businesses can outrank national chains inside ChatGPT and Perplexity *today* without ever beating them in Google.

This window won't stay open forever.

Memorial Day is the last quiet week before summer hits home services full force.

HVAC, lawn care, roofing — June bookings get decided this week, by people Googling at midnight. If your "AC repair Cincinnati" page hasn't been updated since 2024, your competitor just took June from you.

This week is the window.

Google's Ask Maps rolled out March 12 and quietly changed how local rankings work.

Gemini now reads the *attributes* in your reviews — "quiet", "explained things", "showed up on time" — and matches them against the searcher's question. Review *language* is now a ranking factor, not just review count.

Most SMBs don't know this happened.

Q1 2026: YouTube is now in 16% of AI-generated answers. Reddit dropped to 10%.

Translation — if you're a Cincinnati contractor with zero video content, ChatGPT and Perplexity literally can't see you when someone asks for a recommendation.

A 2-minute job-site clip beats a 1,000-word blog right now.

Google said the March core update was done on April 8. Then on April 23 the rank trackers lit up again — a quiet second wave most local businesses haven't noticed.

If your home-services traffic dipped this week, that's the cause. Audit your service-area pages first.

Perplexity doesn't give you 10 blue links. It gives you a cited, sourced answer — and the businesses it cites win the click.

If your audience is educated, technical, or B2B, they're already there. And if they can't find you on Perplexity, they won't.

We optimize for every AI platform. Because every platform is someone's default now.

Search engines — traditional and AI — trust the site that covers a topic from every angle. Not the one with a single, beautiful pillar post.

Ten good blogs will out-rank one great blog every time. So we ship, iterate, and keep building.

Volume is a strategy. Patience is a weapon.

robots.txt tells crawlers what they CAN'T touch. llms.txt tells AI models what they SHOULD read.

It's the emerging standard for Generative Engine Optimization — a plain-text roadmap for ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity that boosts your odds of being cited.

We add one for every client. Takes 20 minutes. Pays forever.
