A study of 60,000+ sites just revealed the 5 main secrets to getting traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Search.
It also validated everything SEO Stuff (https://t.co/wKpf0EILTx) has been doing for customers in 2025.
It really highlighted why the Gold Plan (https://t.co/MMsDTFf4rg) has been so popular.
Now that none of this is a secret anymore, let's discuss it together.
Ahrefs just released a study across 60,000 websites and 750 “best X” prompts that answers a simple question:
What does it actually take to get traffic from ChatGPT in 2025?
Before I walk you through what Ahrefs found and how to use it...

Alright, let’s talk about what Ahrefs actually found.
Across software, product, and agency queries, they looked at 750 top of funnel prompts like:
“Best CRM software for enterprise”
“Best entry level DSLR”
“Best web design agencies in London”
Then they analyzed every source ChatGPT used in its answers and categorized the pages.
Here is what showed up.
First, “best X” comparison lists dominated everything.
Across all the source links, 43.8 percent were “best X” blog lists.
Not landing pages.
Not random blog posts.
Not AI spam.
Actual comparison lists like:
“Best project management tools”
“Top email marketing platforms”
“Best AI detectors, tested and compared”
You will recall, I've been ringing this bell for a long time.
You can review some of my posts from the last few days, weeks and months for separate examples of why this sort of content is doing so well at the moment.
Next, there was a clear pattern in how those lists influenced recommendations.
When ChatGPT recommended a brand, Ahrefs looked at where that brand was positioned inside the cited lists.
The result was very simple.
Brands that ranked near the top of those lists got recommended more.
When they sliced it by top, middle, and bottom third, the top third won.
So in plain English:
If you are buried at the bottom of comparison lists, you are much less likely to be suggested by AI.
Third, freshness is not optional.
Ahrefs took a clean subset of 1,100 “best X” lists and checked publish or update dates.
79.1 percent were updated in 2025.
26 percent updated in just the last two months.
More lists had been updated than left untouched.
So if your “best X” page still says “Updated 2022,” do not be surprised when ChatGPT pulls a fresher competitor article instead.
Fourth, low authority sites are still getting cited, but that window will not stay open forever.
Ahrefs found that 35 percent of cited “best X” lists lived on low authority domains.
Many of them looked like they were created purely for citations or link schemes.
Right now AI assistants are still leaning on them.
Over time, as trust and quality signals improve, that left side of the chart is going to shrink.
So you have an opportunity.
Replace low quality comparison lists with your own brand as the canonical source before AI systems clean house.
Fifth, the type of first party page that gets cited depends on the category.
For software and agencies:
When ChatGPT recommended a brand, internal landing pages were more likely to show up than the homepage or that brand’s own comparison list.
For products:
Straight up product pages dominated.
So you need both sides covered.
You need comparison lists that train AI on who is in the market.
And you need clear, extractable landing pages or product pages AI can safely recommend and link to.
This is exactly where SEO Stuff (https://t.co/wKpf0EILTx) maps to reality.
Here is how the main SEO Stuff packages align with what Ahrefs just documented.
The Gold Plan
https://t.co/MMsDTFf4rg
You get:
10 long form articles built to rank as “best X” and “top X”
comparison content structured for extraction
question based H2s with 2 to 3 sentence answers under each
TLDR summaries at the top
clean HTML and internal linking
product and service schema where relevant
3 DR50 plus backlinks so your domain has enough authority to be taken seriously
Mind you, Ahrefs literally just confirmed that comparison lists and authority are at the center of ChatGPT citations.
The Gold Plan gives you both.
The Premium Content Bundle
https://t.co/5osvnSaiGB
You get:
60 comparison driven articles that cover your entire category
deep, long form content in the 1,900 to 2,900 plus word range
section lengths and structure aligned with how LLMs consume content
internal linking that connects all those pieces into a clear topical map
Ahrefs found that “best X” lists made up 43.8 percent of sources and that depth and coverage matter more than clever wording.
The Premium Content Bundle is basically a “build your own AI training set” for your brand.
The Premium Backlink Bundle
https://t.co/BMl9QCGGn3
You get:
3 DR50 plus backlinks from real business sites that already have traffic and trust
domain level reinforcement that tells AI systems your site is not some throwaway listicle farm
stronger homepage and brand authority so you are not stuck in that low authority bucket that Ahrefs saw at 35 percent of cited lists
Ahrefs made it very clear that many low authority sites are still getting cited today.
You can either let questionable domains speak for your category or you can use authority to push them out.
Here is the bigger picture:
ChatGPT sends 8 to 9 times more traffic than the next AI platform.
“Best X” lists dominate its source set.
Fresh, updated content is being rewarded.
And for software and agencies, landing pages still matter when AI decides what to actually link to.
SEO Stuff (https://t.co/wKpf0EILTx) was built directly around that reality.
If AI is replacing the first click, your content and your comparison pages need to replace the first impression.

@Grozdjica_ Can you share some suppliers in Turkey, or where I can find something reliable? I'm more interested in clothes and am targeting a small EU country.
Any info in this direction would help me enormously at this time when all my niche sites have capitulated...
