  1. Google pushes inline links higher in AI Mode and AI Overviews

    Google announced on October 15 a set of updates to its AI-powered Search experiences, aimed at making source links easier to find. Inline links will now appear higher up in AI Mode and AI Overviews responses more frequently, and the links at the end of AI answers get a more clickable design with image thumbnails. Carousels for developing topics and Preferred Sources are expanding to more regions and languages after launching earlier this year, with Google saying Preferred Sources usage has grown 7x since then. Google is also testing a dedicated section at the top of AI responses showing the "one or two official places" to complete a task with context on why each link is useful, plus clickable creator and publisher names on video results that lead to their Search profiles. One report says publishers in the News AI pilot now exceed 400, with Axios, CNN and the Financial Times among recent additions.

  2. iKala's Kuroma tracks brand mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude

    Speaking at the Google Analytics Asia-Pacific Partner Summit in Singapore under the theme "Sessions and Answers," iKala and CloudAD group chairman Sega Cheng said AI search is changing how consumers get information, with users increasingly taking answers directly from Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude or AI summaries in search results rather than clicking through to sites — a "zero-click" trend. He said much brand contact now happens before the click, so existing website-traffic data alone can no longer fully capture how consumers encounter a brand. iKala's Kuroma therefore tracks mentions, citations and recommendations across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google AI summaries, and audits whether sites are easy for AI to read based on content, technical architecture, structured data and credibility signals, while CloudAD uses GA360 with BigQuery to cut the time its editors need for key data from about 48 hours to under 30 minutes, alongside roughly 25% growth in new and active users and about 15% growth in visits. Cheng stressed that AI output depends on the data it reads, so trustworthy data foundations determine whether AI delivers real value.

  3. Semrush: ChatGPT leans on news sites more than any other AI platform

    Semrush, which Adobe owns, published its 2026 AI Visibility Index, saying it ran 2.5 million UK prompts and 25 million US prompts each month across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews, covering January to July 2026 and 22 industry categories. It found news and information sites took an average 29.5% of citations among ChatGPT's 100 most-cited UK domains and 19.6% in the US, rising month by month from January to July and ahead of Gemini, AI Mode and AI Overviews. The study also found being mentioned is not the same as being cited as a source — fewer than half of top-100 mentioned brands also appeared among top-100 cited domains — while Google's AI Overviews cited medical reference sites more than rivals and video streaming sites led by YouTube took the largest citation share there.

  4. AI reputation management: how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini describe you

    This guide, contributed by reputation firm Reputation Resolutions, argues that ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini do not invent reputations but repeat what they find in training data and live web retrieval, so fixing the cited sources is more effective than arguing with a chatbot. It cites ChatGPT reaching 900 million weekly active users in February 2026 and Google's Gemini app passing 750 million monthly users by the end of 2025, and says Wikipedia accounts for 47.9% of ChatGPT's top-10 cited sources, Reddit 46.7% for Perplexity, and Reddit, YouTube and LinkedIn 21%, 18.8% and 13% respectively in Google AI Overviews. The recommended process is a baseline audit that records each platform's answer and cited links, sorting claims into accurate, outdated, false or mistaken-identity categories, fixing false allegations first and outranking content that cannot be removed. The user figures and citation shares are the article's own claims and were not independently verified.
