Holy snikes. ChatGPT has dramatically increased the number of fan-out queries they're using.
I'm now seeing instances of prompts that trigger 30+ fan-out queries.
the fastest way to get cited by ChatGPT in 2026:
steal the questions people already ask
open ChatGPT and type the messy questions your buyers actually ask:
- "best CRM for a 2-person agency that hates admin"
- "cheapest tool to automate invoicing"
- "what do small teams use instead of Salesforce"
it answers those in full sentences, the way people really talk
so build one page that answers each exact question, word for word
most brands are still chasing "best CRM"
a term 500 companies fight over and nobody buys from
meanwhile those specific questions sit wide open, with a buyer attached to every one
go answer the ones your competitors keep ignoring
We didn't guess this. We tested it: 500 keywords, 4,300 prompts, three platforms. The result: 75% of AI citations go to pages outside Google's top ten. Rank four on Google and you have a 2.6% chance of showing up in an AI answer. This isn't an edge case. It's the new normal. If you're not auditing which of your pages are getting pulled into AI answers, you're flying blind right now.

Looked at 300k AI responses and over 80% of LinkedIn citations for ChatGPT go to /company/ pages.
Any LinkedIn AEO / GEO correlation study you see, including this one, is flawed.
AI answers can deliver an infinite number of answers, and 300k AI responses is not a big enough dataset.
In this case, the dataset has many terms like "what does brand name do", so the data is skewed towards company pages.
So, if you see a bigger study of 325k AI responses, then come to the conclusion that you should post more on LinkedIn to show up in AI, that study is flawed too.
To really know whether LinkedIn is useful or not for your AEO / GEO, you need to track the presence of LinkedIn's domain for searches that are important to your business.
Then you need to break down the domain and see what LinkedIn folders are showing up.
I did this for a B2B company, and a whopping 0% of LinkedIn AI answers include /posts/.
Obviously being active on LinkedIn, having multiple active employees, and what not can fall under good marketing, good marketing in general can influence LLMs over time, but specifically saying "post more on LinkedIn for AEO" is a stretch
