/ GSC × AI DEMAND
Real Google searches AI doesn’t cite you for
The gap that should hurt the most: queries you already rank well for on Google but ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot skip you when they answer. Connect Search Console once; we cross-reference your real 28-day top queries against every Citation Probe run and surface the misses.
/ The question
Most AI-search audits pretend they know what people search for. They don’t. They generate plausible queries and grade you against invented demand. Your real Search Console data is the only honest source of what your market actually types — and the queries you already win in Google are the ones you should be winning in AI too.
/ How it works
Methodology
- 01
Connect Search Console once
OAuth flow at /aeo/settings. We read top queries + impressions + position for the last 28 days, read-only. Refresh token encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Disconnect any time from Google’s account permissions or our settings page.
- 02
Replace invented queries with real ones
Every Citation Probe run is seeded from your GSC top queries. Claude only fills the shortfall when you don’t have 20 in a tier. Each query in the curator carries a "GSC" badge so you know it’s real demand, not invention.
- 03
Cross-reference against AI answers
For each query that drove real Google traffic, we report whether each AI engine cited you in its answer, and your Google rank position alongside. The queries where you rank top-5 on Google but get skipped by AI are your gap.
