AI Citations Index / seo software

The articles ChatGPT cites for seo software

These 40 sources were cited by ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews when asked buyer questions about seo software (“best seo software”, “top seo software tools”, and similar). If a tool is not in these articles, AI assistants are far less likely to recommend it.

For seo software, onelittleweb.com is the most-cited source with 17 citations, ahead of 28 other domains across 3 AI engines. 8 of the 40 cited articles sit on domains with affiliate signals, which makes getting into these articles an affiliate recruitment problem, not a luck problem.

Only 14 of the 40 articles are cited by more than one engine: each assistant largely reads its own set of sources, so visibility has to be earned engine by engine. 30 of the cited articles are listicles or comparison posts and 1 are community threads, the two formats affiliates and independent publishers produce.
