Does Being Mentioned on High Traffic Pages Influence AI Mentions?

Does being seen more on the web lead to more mentions in AI assistants? I’m defining “being seen” or web visibility as the estimated total monthly organic search traffic to all pages that mention the entity.
These are prominent pages on the web, with a lot of visibility. Having your brand present on these pages means you likely have more credibility, that you’re a known brand.
I looked at the top 50 websites mentioned in Ahrefs Brand Radar for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. This is across ~76.7M AI Overviews, 957k ChatGPT prompts, and 953.5k Perplexity prompts for the month of June 2025.
Let’s dig in.
Spearman rank correlations for web visibility vs. AI visibility across the top 50 domains in each system:

Final thoughts
It will be interesting to see how this changes when we run this for a larger number of websites.

Most advice on ranking in AI Overviews is speculative, so we’ve analyzed millions of AI Overview responses, reviewed third-party research, and studied Google’s guidance to find out what actually works. Our own study shows that AI Overviews have caused click-through rate drops of 34.5%, with new research from Seer Interactive reporting drops as high as…
Traditional search tracking is built on a simple promise: type a query, get a result, and track your ranking. AI doesn’t work that way. Assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity don’t show fixed results—they generate answers that vary with every run, every model, and every user. “AI rank tracking” is a misnomer—you can’t track AI like you…
