New brands get zero AI citations without Wikipedia presence, study finds

A study by Kre8on found that new brands, less than a year old, are not cited at all by major AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

The research also indicated that on-page SEO efforts and structured data like JSON-LD had minimal impact, while off-site mentions on high-authority domains played a more crucial role in AI citation.
