Honeyb: LLM Visibility Tools in 2026: 9 Trackers Compared on Citations and API Access Article · Updated October 2, 2026 · Matiss Katanenko, Co-founder, Honeyb · English > When an AI summary appears in search results, clicks on the traditional blue links fall from 15% to 8%, according to analysis reported by Silverback Marketing citing Pew Research. The same figure appears in the article's statistics panel as a click-through drop of about 50 percent, credited to Pew Research via Silverback Marketing, 2026. - Cites: [AI Overviews in 2026: Bigger, Smarter, and Now Paying Publishers](/google-ai-overviews-updates-2026).

X: Post on AI Overviews auto-expansion and citation selection Post on X · October 1, 2026 · OS社長 | HP×LLMO (@neo_vision11), LLMO practitioner, Japan · Japanese, with our translation > The auto-expansion of AI Overviews and the Show more click expansion do not use the same logic for selecting citation candidates. The structure confirmed by Silverback Marketing's independent research: after auto-expansion, the organic search click-through rate fell from 15% to 8%; 11% of AI Overview claims were judged to be statements not present in the cited source; organic results pushed to the bottom of the screen lose their chance of contact before any interaction. Designed to be displayed and designed to be clicked are separate problems. Once auto-expansion is standard, organizations that treat ranking as proof of completion need to revisit the premise of their measurement. Original (ja): AI Overviewsの「自動展開」と「Show moreクリック展開」は、引用候補の選定ロジックが同じではありません。Silverback Marketingの独立調査が確認した構造：・自動展開後、有機検索クリック率が15%→8%に低下 ・AI Overviewの11%のクレームが引用元に存在しない記述と判定 ・画面下部に押し下げられた有機結果は操作以前に接触機会を失う 「表示される設計」と「クリックされる設計」は別の問題です。自動展開が標準化した段階で、順位を根拠に対応完了と判断している組織は計測の前提から見直す必要があります。 - Cites: [AI Overviews in 2026: Bigger, Smarter, and Now Paying Publishers](/google-ai-overviews-updates-2026). Names Silverback Marketing's independent research without a link; the figures it lists match our AI Overviews article and its sources. - Attribution: Partly accurate. The 15 to 8 percent click figure is Pew Research Center data that our article reports. The 11 percent figure comes from a Washington University in St. Louis audit published September 29, 2026 and is not Silverback Marketing research; the article's corrections note explains this. - Archive: [archive.today copy](https://archive.ph/UbgeN), saved October 3, 2026, 02:37 UTC. - Archive: The Wayback Machine could not save this post: X returned an error to the archive on October 2, 2026.

Where it is not in English we add our own translation and mark it as ours. - Checked attribution: Each citation is compared with the work it cites. When a figure is attributed to us that belongs to another source, the entry says which source, and the article carries a corrections note. - Archived where possible: Citations are saved to the Wayback Machine. When a site refuses the archive, we keep a dated capture of our own and say so. - Corrected, not removed: An entry stays on the record even when its attribution is partly wrong. Reposts without commentary are not listed. Last reviewed October 2, 2026. To report a citation, email hello@silverbackmarketing.com. Ready when you are ## Build a smarter growth strategy.
