First-party data
AI citation statistics 2026
First-party numbers from the Osoro GEO scan pipeline and the B2B SaaS AI Citation Index. Every figure names its sample and snapshot. Every figure refreshes from the underlying data - nothing on this page is hardcoded, so a stat cannot drift from its source.

AI citation rate by industry
Trailing-window average AI citation rate per industry cohort. Cohorts of fewer than five projects are suppressed at the RPC (never averaged into a smaller number than the data justifies) - a missing industry means the cohort isn't yet large enough to publish.
| Industry | Avg citation rate | Snapshot | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS & Software | 33% | 2026-06-23 | Reference panel |
