The "laptop for remote work" theme also exposed a possible opening. It had weak Google competition, while AI questions showed real demand for that use case.<\/p>\n
Why does another study reach a weaker conclusion?<\/h2>\n
A Chatoptic study of 15 brands across five categories found almost no correlation between SEO strength and visibility in AI answers, according to research published in 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n Exploratory, feature-based and brand-seeking queries may each have had roughly 61% to 63% overlap.<\/p>\n Google rankings are one factor and may not indicate whether AI will mention a brand.<\/p>\n SE Ranking analyzed 129,000 domains across 216,524 pages in 20 niches, according to a study published in November 2025<\/a>. Its analysis associated several measurable site characteristics with ChatGPT citations.<\/p>\n The number of referring domains appeared to have the strongest relationship with citation likelihood. Sites with no more than 2,500 referring domains may average 1.6 to 1.8 citations, compared with 8.4 for sites above 350,000. At 32,000 referring domains, the model\u2019s average could rise from 2.9 citations to 5.6.<\/p>\n Content structure and depth also differed:<\/p>\n Google positions also differed. Pages ranking between positions 1 and 45 averaged 5 citations, while pages ranking 64 to 75 averaged 3.1, according to the SE Ranking analysis. The researchers said this did not prove that ChatGPT relies on Google’s index, but the two systems may evaluate authority and content quality in similar ways.<\/p>\n SEOScanPro<\/a> offers tools for checking search and AI visibility. Its Rank Tracker records Google positions for selected keywords over time, according to SEOScanPro. According to SEOScanPro, its AI Visibility report tracks which AI crawlers visit and potentially read the site. An AI agent check attempts everyday tasks such as finding business details or reaching the contact page, while the free SEO audit can identify technical and on-page issues that may hold back visibility.<\/p>\n SEOScanPro may not measure how often ChatGPT, Gemini or AI Overviews mention a brand or record AI prompt volume. The laptop study demonstrates why those brand mentions should still be reviewed separately from rankings.<\/p>\n Start with the questions a customer asks before contacting a business. Check whether the brand appears in answers tied to those questions, whether the website explains the offering clearly and whether independent sources confirm the brand and service.<\/p>\n Then inspect the technical path to identify barriers to crawling and indexing. A search position does not prove that an AI crawler has read the page, and crawler access does not prove that the page will rank in Google.<\/p>\n Business owners can use search demand data and AI tools to find mentions tied to buyer intent and adjust their online presence.<\/p>\n No. According to Chatoptic, brands on Google’s first page appeared in ChatGPT 62% of the time. The Chatoptic study reported a correlation between Google rank and ChatGPT position of 0.034.<\/p>\n Lenovo, HP and ASUS led both the Google keyword counts and AI mention counts in SEO Hacker’s study of 10 laptop brands.<\/p>\n A business can check which AI crawlers visit the site and whether an AI agent can find its phone number, business hours and contact page. These checks concern access and usability, not the frequency of brand mentions in AI answers.<\/p>\n SEOScanPro runs a full technical audit of a site and shows the measured result behind every check.
