SEMAI analysed 250,000+ URLs across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Documentation and support pages are 33.5% of ChatGPT 5.6 Luna’s URLs.
CA, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Documentation and support pages make up 33.5% of the URLs recorded for ChatGPT 5.6 Luna, while articles and guides make up 9.3%. SEMAI (semai.ai) today released the SEMAI AI Search 2026 Report, built on more than 250,000 URLs of its own visibility data.
In the same report, industry associations and professional bodies appear in 56.9% of Luna’s matched queries and public authorities in 46.4%. Company websites appear in 79.4%.
“A model change reshaped what ChatGPT cites, and it did not happen on the other engines. For B2B brands, documentation and support pages are now part of the visibility conversation,” said Raghunath Vijayaraghavan, Co-Founder of SEMAI.
How ChatGPT’s Model Change Affected What Gets Cited
SEMAI ran the same queries, measured the same way, in its February 2026 study and again for this report. Gemini and Perplexity showed little change in what they cite. SEMAI observed that ChatGPT did change: after its move to a new model, blogs and articles fell from 41.2% to 9.3% of recorded URLs, while documentation and support pages rose from 1.4% to 33.5%.
