What This Means for Ahrefs
A GEO Score of 83.9 places Ahrefs in strong territory for AI search, but the 95% peak visibility on ChatGPT vs 44% on AI Overview represents a meaningful gap as AI search continues to fragment across providers.
With AI-referred queries converting at higher rates than organic search, and with Google AI Overview now appearing above organic results for commercial queries, each point of visibility directly maps to brand consideration, website traffic, and ultimately revenue.
