ChatGPT cited our YouTube videos 0 times in the 32-question set. We still check ChatGPT. Claude needs a login, so an anonymous buyer cannot reach it, and we do not report Claude citations.
How we checked
Six buyer questions. Three platforms. Logged out.
- 1.We picked 6 real buyer questions a B2B company would type before hiring a video agency.
- 2.We asked each question, logged out, on Google Search, Gemini, and Perplexity, the same way an unknown buyer would.
- 3.We recorded where Digital Accomplice showed up: AI Overview citation, video carousel, Shorts shelf, or nowhere.
- 4.We compared the full metadata of every video that was cited and every video that was not, to see what lined up with a citation.
