AI Search Optimization in 2026

January 6, 2026 by Raymond Hackney Leave a Comment

AI Search Optimization 2026

Kevin Indig posted an interesting article on SearchEngineJournal.com with regard to A.I search. He published a guide that looks at retrieval, citation, and trust factors that determine LLM visibility in 2026.

Ranking your content is certainly going to be different moving forward.

From the article:

As a reminder, the vibe around ChatGPT turned a bit sour at the end of 2025:

  • Google released the superior Gemini 3, causing Sam Altman to announce a Code Red (ironically, three years after Google did the same at the launch of ChatGPT 3.5).
  • OpenAI made a series of circular investments that raised eyebrows and questions about how to finance them.
  • ChatGPT, which sends the majority of all LLMs, reaches at most 4% of the current organic (mostly Google) referral traffic.

Full story

Your content getting no citation when an LLM uses your content is certainly a problem, it’s why major publishers are going after these AI companies for copyright violations.

Mike Gastin posted a video on how some publishers are looking to beat A.I.
