Five months of nothing. Then the line moved.

This one is not a percentage that went up. Before the engine, the articles on this retailer's site earned zero search impressions, for five straight months. Not few. Zero. Ninety days later those same articles had been shown inside Google's AI answers 16,900 times.

September covers 17 days, not a full month, so its bar is shaded lighter and is not comparable to the ones beside it.

What the AI is actually doing

When Google answers a buyer's question with AI, it pulls from sources and links them. This retailer's articles are now one of those sources, 16,900 times over. That is the door opening. It is not the same as an AI naming the business as its recommendation, and this page does not pretend otherwise.

Why the articles outrank the shop

The engine's articles sit at an average Google position of 7.3. The rest of the site, thousands of product and category pages built over years, averages 10.3. The newest content on the site is the best-placed content on the site.

Client anonymized. Every figure comes from the client's own Google Search Console, read on 20 September 2026. Impressions on articles run 1 January to 17 September 2026; the AI figure is Google's Generative AI features report, 19 June to 17 September 2026, filtered to those same articles. Google publishes no click data for AI answers, so every AI number here is an appearance, not a visit.
