AI Overviews are showing up on more searches for brand names. Two new reports tracked the rise, but they measured different things.

Ahrefs checked U.S. results for the exact names of global brands, while DemandSphere tracked branded keywords across markets and devices.

In this deep read, Matt G. Southern compared the two reports to see how often AI Overviews appear for branded queries.

Our article looks at Ahrefs' data on where those AI Overviews sat on the page and which outside sites they cited. Then it goes into what Search Console and Google Analytics can show you about your brand searches.

Have you checked which sites the AI Overview cites when someone searches your brand?

Google has updated its AI-generated content guidelines for Google Search.

Original LinkedIn posts accounted for ~95% of the LinkedIn content cited by AI search.

We found this after analyzing 325,000 prompts across ChatGPT Search, and Google AI Mode, identifying 89,000 unique LinkedIn URLs cited in AI-generated answers.

We looked at citation frequency, content type, author signals, engagement, content length, search intent, and originality to understand which LinkedIn pages AI systems choose as sources.

The takeaway? Getting cited isn’t just about publishing more. AI systems can favor original content over reshares, making it important to understand which of your pages are actually earning citations and what characteristics they share.

Use these insights to identify your strongest AI-cited content, spot citation gaps, and build more of the content AI systems want to reference: https://social.semrush.com/4rQV0iP.

Human expertise is better at a specific thing: content where factual precision and terminological consistency dominate, and creative latitude is near zero.

That's the headline from a China benchmark study of 774 localized outputs by EC Innovations and Jademond Digital.

The study found that professional human translators scored outside the top five on four of six content types. On marketing copy, they finished 10th of 15, 22.2 points behind the best AI workflow. Where humans did win, the margin over the best machine workflow was 2.8 points.

As EC Innovations put it, "Human translators appear to over-correct the language, smoothing copy towards formal correctness and stripping out the contemporary register that marketing content depends on."

"The same instinct that makes a linguist excellent at terminology discipline makes them a poor fit for writing that needs to sound like the internet."

The bigger finding was that the differences between individual models, on your specific content type, are large enough to be worth measuring yourself, which is exactly why a benchmark like this is an argument for running your own.

Marcus Pentzek walks through the full dataset, including model-by-model SEO rankings not previously published at this granularity. Link in the comments.

A small number tied to revenue, or a big number tied to nothing?

That's the tradeoff in AEO reporting. Direct LLM referrals are provable but undercounted. Influenced signals like branded search growth and shorter sales cycles are bigger, but harder to put a dollar sign on.

Which do you lead with when leadership asks if AI search is working?
