We track our own citation rates across every major AI platform — the same system we deploy for clients. Here’s where O8 shows up right now, and where the gaps are.
Search-connected engines cite us most often, because they can read what we publish. ChatGPT and Gemini answer from training data alone, so newer and regional brands take longer to surface there — we’re building citation history on both as our content authority compounds.
AI-Enhanced vs. Traditional Agency Approach
We built this table because buyers asked. Here is an honest look at how the models differ.
