A Semrush study analyzing 325,000 questions found that LinkedIn is the second most cited source by AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode. The study indicates that content citation by these AI tools is driven by usefulness and consistent originality, rather than viral engagement, as cited posts typically received only 15-25 reactions. The findings suggest that while LinkedIn is a valuable platform for AI citation, its content is essentially rented, implying a need for businesses to focus on original, useful content on their own platforms to ensure consistent AI referencing.
