## Key Takeaways From This GEO Statistics Library

- GEO statistics track how often AI assistants cite and recommend businesses. Each figure in this library is labeled by evidence type, sample size, and date so you can defend it.
- The Princeton ~40% visibility gain describes Position-Adjusted Word Count on a simulated engine with pre-supplied documents. It does not describe organic traffic or conversions.
- Observational data shows AI summaries cut traditional result clicks from 15% to 8%. In the same study, 75% of AI-cited pages were updated within the past year.
- Survey findings show 71% of B2B buyers use AI chatbots for research, 33% purchased from vendors they first discovered via AI mentions, and 85% view mentioned vendors more favorably.
- Arjun Karnik runs a public generative engine optimization test lab that publishes verifiable practitioner results using the same provenance standards as this reference library.

## What The Princeton GEO Study Actually Shows

[Aggarwal et al., published at the 30th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in August 2024](https://doi.org/10.1145/3637528.3671900), tested whether specific content modifications, such as citing sources, adding quotations, and adding statistics, increased a page's measured visibility in generative engine responses. The study used [GEO-bench, a benchmark of 10,000 queries spanning 25 domains](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09735). It also [evaluated nine optimization methods against a simulated generative engine built from the top five Google results as context, with GPT-3.5-turbo generating answers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09735).

The ~40% figure requires a precise label before it travels anywhere. It is a relative increase in Position-Adjusted Word Count, a metric measuring how much of a generated answer's text is attributed to a given source, weighted by citation position. [The Quotation Addition strategy raised that metric from 19.3 to 27.2](https://ppc.land/survey-of-45-studies-finds-GEO-rewrites-can-cut-a-pages-AI-retrieval-16), roughly 41% in relative terms, measured after the source was already among the documents supplied to the generator. This result describes a relative gain on one metric, not a probability of retrieval, traffic forecast, or conversion promise. [The authors also state explicitly that efficacy varies by domain](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09735).

[Olivier Martinez's July 2026 critical survey of 45 GEO studies](https://ppc.land/survey-of-45-studies-finds-GEO-rewrites-can-cut-a-pages-AI-retrieval-16) places the claim "GEO increases visibility by 40%" in its lowest confidence tier as a general statement. He describes it as a relative maximum on one metric under one specific configuration. That is exactly why this page labels it so carefully and refers back to it as the 40% experimental figure discussed here.

In Arjun's own fan-out citation test on his site, pages rewritten to match ChatGPT fan-out queries earned citations while control pages did not. That test is small, controlled, and publicly documented, so readers can inspect it directly as a finding from his own test lab. For the full methodology behind how he measures GEO success, see [How To Measure Generative Engine Optimization Success](https://www.akarnik.com/blog/measure-generative-engine-optimization-success/). With that context, the next section gives you exact quotes you can lift into decks, each with attribution and evidence labels.

## Verbatim GEO Quotes With Attribution

**Research Quote, Experimental Evidence:**

>

"GEO can boost visibility by up to 40% in generative engine responses."

— Aggarwal et al., "GEO: Generative Engine Optimization," [ACM KDD 2024](https://doi.org/10.1145/3637528.3671900), August 2024. Note: "visibility" here means Position-Adjusted Word Count on a simulated engine with documents pre-supplied, not organic discoverability or traffic.

**Industry-Survey Quote, Survey Evidence:**

>

"We're watching the third compression era of the buyer journey unfold in real time. The Yellow Pages compressed the market into the big book. Google compressed it into the first page of results. Now, AI chatbots are compressing it into a single answer."

— [Tim Sanders, Chief Innovation Officer at G2](https://demandgenreport.com/industry-news/news-brief/half-of-b2b-software-buyers-now-start-their-research-with-ai-chatbots-g2/52737), ["The Answer Economy: How AI Search Is Rewiring B2B Software Buying,"](https://demandgenreport.com/industry-news/news-brief/half-of-b2b-software-buyers-now-start-their-research-with-ai-chatbots-g2/52737) based on a survey fielded in March 2026 of 1,076 B2B software buyers and decision-makers.

**Practitioner Quote, Arjun Karnik's Public Test Lab:**

>

"My numbers are mine; their case studies are theirs, cited as such."

— Arjun Karnik, public GEO test lab, akarnik.com, standing attribution rule governing all figures published from his own site.

**Original Quotable Sound Bites From This Article:**

- The page refreshed last month beats the page written three years ago. Freshness is the ranking signal incumbents are least likely to sustain.
- A GEO statistic without an evidence-type label is a number you repeat, not a number you can defend.
- Being mentioned in an AI answer is a demand signal. For 33% of B2B buyers, it is how they found a vendor they had never heard of.

## The Provenance Table For GEO Statistics

Check the evidence type before quoting a number, because a controlled experiment, a buyer survey, and a click-through observation answer different questions. The table below summarizes each statistic's evidence type, source, sample, date, and what it actually measures so you can see at a glance how the categories differ.

| Statistic | Evidence Type | Source | Sample | Date | What It Actually Measures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Up to ~40% visibility improvement with content modifications | Experimental | [Aggarwal et al., ACM KDD 2024](https://doi.org/10.1145/3637528.3671900) | GEO-bench, 10,000 queries, 25 domains | August 2024 | Position-Adjusted Word Count on a simulated engine with documents pre-supplied, not organic discoverability, traffic, or conversions |
| 8% click rate with AI summary vs. 15% without | Observational | Pew Research Center, July 2025 | 900 US adults, 68,879 Google searches, March 2025 | July 2025 | Actual click behavior on real Google searches tracked via browsing panel, not a forecast |
| 71% of B2B buyers use AI chatbots for software research; 69% switched intended vendor; 33% bought from unfamiliar vendor; 85% view vendor more favorably when mentioned | Survey | [G2, "The Answer Economy," March 2026](https://demandgenreport.com/industry-news/news-brief/half-of-b2b-software-buyers-now-start-their-research-with-ai-chatbots-g2/52737) | 1,076 B2B software buyers and decision-makers, North America, EMEA, APAC | March 2026 | Self-reported buyer behavior and attitudes, not observed purchase logs |
| 75% of cited pages updated within the last year; consistently cited pages averaged under six months since last update | Observational | Seer Interactive, "Content Recency's Impact on AI Visibility," July 2026 | 7,683 pages, 47,097 citations, ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity, March–June 2026 | July 2026 | Correlation between page recency and citation frequency, not a causal experiment |
| 900 million weekly active ChatGPT users; AI Overviews at 2.5 billion monthly active users; AI Mode at 1 billion monthly active users | Company-reported | OpenAI (February 2026); Sundar Pichai, Google I/O, May 19, 2026 | Platform-reported figures, no independent verification | February 2026; May 2026 | Platform scale as reported by the platforms themselves, methodology not disclosed |

## How To Read And Use These GEO Numbers

Evidence labels keep you honest when you quote GEO statistics. Experimental results describe what happened under controlled conditions with specific inputs, specific engines, and specific metrics. Surveys, by contrast, describe what buyers say they do, which can differ from what purchase logs show they did. Observational data sits between those extremes and captures what was measured in the wild, with all the confounders that implies. Company-reported figures describe a platform's own scale, with no independent audit attached. Each type answers a different question, so you cannot swap one for another.

These categories are not interchangeable. Quoting an experimental result as a market forecast, or a survey as a controlled experiment, produces a number that sounds precise but means something different from what the research showed.

Researchers have also been clear about what current work does not prove. No single tactic guarantees citation. No paper claims that a given percentage will hold for a specific business or vertical. Figures from 2024 may not describe the same channel in 2026. [Martinez's 2026 critical survey of 45 GEO studies](https://geoready.dev/research) found no technique has demonstrated a stable, longitudinal, cross-platform causal effect on organic discoverability. That finding deserves a clear statement before any number leaves this page.

The attribution trap compounds the measurement problem. A meaningful share of AI-driven demand lands in analytics as direct or branded search rather than as a traceable AI referral, because buyers read an answer, copy a name, and type it into a browser bar. Whatever you measure is a floor, not a ceiling. The practical response is to instrument for citations and share of answers instead of grading this channel only on the metrics it no longer produces cleanly.

[](https://www.akarnik.com/demo)**Buyers read an answer, then type your name into a browser. That visit lands as direct or branded search, so whatever you measure here is a floor and never a ceiling.**

Recency matters more in this category than in most. [Axis Intelligence Research's GEO Statistics 2026 compilation](https://axis-intelligence.com/geo-statistics) cautions that any GEO figure more than three months old should be treated as directional rather than precise. The same source cites the [367% growth in ChatGPT citation rates between January and August 2025](https://axis-intelligence.com/geo-statistics) as evidence of how fast the category shifts. Any figure more than roughly a year old should be verified as the latest version of that study before it goes into a deck.

## How To Cite These GEO Statistics

Use a simple copy-paste citation format: Source, "Title," sample and date, figure, evidence type.

Here is a worked example using the Pew figure:

>

Pew Research Center, "Google users are less likely to click on links when an AI summary appears in the results," 900 US adults, 68,879 Google searches, March 2025 (published July 2025): 8% click rate with an AI summary present vs. 15% without. Evidence type: observational browsing-panel data.

Keep two habits for your own deck. First, label the evidence type in the slide itself so a CFO or client who asks "is this a survey or a test?" sees the answer immediately. Second, check recency before presenting, because the GEO channel moves fast enough that a figure from eighteen months ago may have a newer version from the same source.

The practitioner figures on this page come from Arjun's own site and are verifiable at his public test lab. These include fan-out citation test results, decay curves, and subfolder impression data. The tests and the misses are published there. For the tools he uses to run and measure this work, see [Best Generative Engine Optimization Tools Ranked](https://www.akarnik.com/blog/best-generative-engine-optimization-tools/).

## Frequently Asked Questions About GEO Statistics

### What Percentage Of Searches Show AI Summaries?

[Pew Research Center's analysis of 68,879 real Google searches from 900 US adults in March 2025 found AI summaries appeared on approximately 18% of searches overall](https://axis-intelligence.com/geo-statistics). Trigger rates varied sharply by query type, with question-based queries and longer queries triggering summaries far more often than short, navigational ones. [Estimates from other sources using different query sets and time periods range from roughly 16% to over 48%](https://eggknite.com/reports/state-of-ai-search-2026), depending on the keyword mix studied. The Pew figure is the most methodologically transparent large-scale estimate available because it used actual browsing behavior rather than SERP scraping.

### How Much Does GEO Improve Visibility?

The Princeton study by Aggarwal et al., published at ACM KDD 2024, reported up to approximately 40% improvement on its Position-Adjusted Word Count metric in a controlled experimental setting. That metric measures how much of a generated answer's text is attributed to a given source, weighted by citation position, after the source has already been supplied to the generator. As noted earlier, this 40% result is experimental and domain-dependent rather than a market forecast or traffic projection. [The authors themselves note that efficacy varies by domain](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09735). [A July 2026 critical survey of 45 GEO studies found no technique has demonstrated a stable, longitudinal, cross-platform causal effect on organic discoverability](https://geoready.dev/research), which is the honest context for the 40% figure.

### What Is The Princeton GEO Study?

The Princeton GEO study is "GEO: Generative Engine Optimization" by [Pranjal Aggarwal, Vishvak Murahari, Tanmay Rajpurohit, Ashwin Kalyan, Karthik Narasimhan, and Ameet Deshpande](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09735), published in the Proceedings of the 30th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in August 2024 ([DOI 10.1145/3637528.3671900](https://doi.org/10.1145/3637528.3671900)). The study introduced GEO-bench, a benchmark of 10,000 queries across 25 domains, and tested nine content modification strategies, including citing sources, adding quotations, and adding statistics, against a simulated generative engine using GPT-3.5-turbo. It is the foundational academic paper in the GEO field and the source of the widely quoted ~40% visibility figure. [As of October 2026, it had accumulated 59 citations and over 20,000 downloads in the ACM Digital Library](https://doi.org/10.1145/3637528.3671900).

### Do AI Summaries Reduce Clicks?

Pew Research Center measured an 8% click rate on traditional search results when an AI summary was present, versus 15% when no summary appeared, [a roughly 47% relative decline in click probability](https://axis-intelligence.com/geo-statistics). [Users clicked links inside the AI summary itself in only 1% of visits](https://eggknite.com/reports/state-of-ai-search-2026). [Users ended their browsing session entirely 26% of the time with a summary present, versus 16% without one](https://eggknite.com/reports/state-of-ai-search-2026). These are observational findings from actual browsing behavior, not a controlled experiment. [Separate Ahrefs analysis of 300,000 keywords found a 58% lower average click-through rate for position-one pages when an AI Overview appeared, as of December 2025](https://axis-intelligence.com/geo-statistics). The direction across multiple independent measurements is consistent: AI summaries suppress outbound clicks on the same session, though total query volume and branded search behavior complicate the full picture.

[](https://www.akarnik.com/demo)**The click roughly halves when an AI summary appears above the result. Pew also found only 1 percent of users clicked a link inside the summary itself.**

### What Percentage Of B2B Buyers Start With AI Chatbots?

[G2's March 2026 survey of 1,076 B2B software buyers and decision-makers found 51% now start their software research in an AI chatbot more often than in Google](https://demandgenreport.com/industry-news/news-brief/half-of-b2b-software-buyers-now-start-their-research-with-ai-chatbots-g2/52737), [up from 29% in G2's April 2025 survey](https://demandgenreport.com/industry-news/news-brief/half-of-b2b-software-buyers-now-start-their-research-with-ai-chatbots-g2/52737). Separately, [71% use AI chatbots somewhere in the software research process](https://demandgenreport.com/industry-news/news-brief/half-of-b2b-software-buyers-now-start-their-research-with-ai-chatbots-g2/52737). These are self-reported survey figures, not observed purchase logs. Other surveys using different definitions of "AI use" produce different numbers. [Forrester's 2025 Buyers' Journey Survey found 94% of business buyers used AI during their buying process](https://saverflow.ai/articles/b2b-buyers-ai-vendor-research-2026), but that figure counts any AI use at any stage, a much lower bar than starting research in a chatbot. The G2 figure is the most specific available for the chatbot-as-starting-point behavior.

[](https://www.akarnik.com/demo)**In under a year the starting point for B2B software research crossed over. More buyers now begin with a chatbot than with Google.**

### How Often Are AI-Cited Pages Refreshed?

Seer Interactive's analysis of 47,097 AI citations across 7,683 pages in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity between March and June 2026 found 75% of cited pages had been updated within the last year. Pages cited consistently across all four months of the study averaged under six months since their last update. This is an observational correlation, not a controlled experiment, so it shows that recently updated pages appear more often in citations but does not isolate recency as the sole cause. In Arjun's own decay tracking on his site, pages can drop 78% to 99% in two months without updates, which points in the same direction from a different measurement angle.

[](https://www.akarnik.com/demo)**Three quarters of cited pages were updated inside a year, and the consistently cited ones averaged under six months. The page you refresh beats the page you write.**

## The Bottom Line For Anyone Quoting GEO Numbers

The figures in this library are real, and the categories they belong to stay distinct. The evidence label is what makes a number defensible in a room with a skeptical CFO or client.

Each major figure comes with a specific evidence label. The Princeton 40% result is experimental. Pew's click rates are observational. G2's buyer data is survey-based. The OpenAI and Google scale figures are company-reported. These labels matter because they tell you what each number can support and where its limits sit.

Arjun Karnik's public test lab is where the practitioner figures on this page can be checked, including fan-out citation tests, decay curves, subfolder impression data, and the tests that did not work. The receipts are published there because the same discipline that makes a number defensible in a deck is what helps a site get cited by AI assistants.
