Three-month export
Semrush · Oct 27 snapshot
AI visibility didn't just spike. It continued.
Daily Google generative AI impressions grew from a handful in September to consistent double-digit exposure in October. The peak reached 150 impressions on October 9.
Google Search Console · Cost of Timeshares · Sep 8–Oct 27, 2026
The period totals differ in length (30 vs 27 days). Percentage growth is calculated from the exported counts; daily-rate growth normalizes for days. The 855 total includes both periods; there were no earlier recorded AI impressions in the export.
Organic search visibility expanded, too.
Google Search Console recorded 4,156 total search impressions and 37 clicks for the page across the three-month reporting window. Search impressions rose substantially in October, although clicks did not increase over the same comparison periods.
