AI search engines do not all cite the same sources. The mix is different for every industry, company, and prompt.
This page rolls up GEOGrow prompt scans from the last 30 days, then links each recent prompt to the
answer we observed.
AI still cites websites first. Homepages and core website pages are 52% of citations in this window.

Best-of and comparison pages still matter. Listicles and vs. pages are 18% of what models cite.
03
Editorial Website is the leading citation channel at 90.6%. Owned pages, reviews, and community sources all show up — the fingerprint is never just one site.
