On October 19, 2026, Notified will present findings from an extensive study on how artificial intelligence tools index and cite professional press releases. The research, which tracked interactions across large language models, aims to clarify how content discovery is shifting.
Why it matters
As AI systems increasingly dictate how audiences find and process information, understanding how owned content is cited by LLMs has become essential for public relations strategy. This analysis offers a window into the digital visibility of corporate messaging.
The study analyzed nearly 1 million AI citations derived from over 25,000 GlobeNewswire press releases. Data confirms that a majority of these citations occur outside of the initial week of a release's publication.
