Population and method
Built from 1,465 AI-cited pages across 950 domains, using 28,033 citation opportunities and page-level crawl analysis.
Where the evidence stops
Most findings are correlational. Overrepresented traits are not the same as proven causal lifts.
Some subgroups, especially FAQ Schema + FAQ Content, are relatively small and should be read carefully.
The study looks at cited pages rather than all uncited pages in the open web, so it is best used as a benchmark profile.
What to do with this
Strategists and operators must prioritize machine-readable data structures because the high prevalence of schema markup among cited sources indicates that explicit semantic framing facilitates content ingestion and retrieval by AI models.
