Intent-group check
The aggregate hides group-level differences.
Reddit appeared in the organic top five for 3 of 8 business-builder queries, 8 of 9 app-builder queries, and all 10 comparison queries. Reporting the groups separately prevents a comparison-heavy pattern from becoming a category-wide claim.
| Query group | Queries | Organic items | Video | YouTube organic | Reddit organic | Reddit top 5 | Completed AIO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business-builder | 8 | 136 | 8/8 | 6/8 | 5/8 | 3/8 | 5/8 |
| App-builder | 9 | 159 | 8/9 | 7/9 | 9/9 | 8/9 | 3/9 |
| Comparison | 10 | 175 | 7/10 | 6/10 | 10/10 | 10/10 | 8/10 |
Method
One frozen, unweighted snapshot.
We submitted 27 predeclared queries through the DataForSEO queued Google organic SERP API. The capture used United States, English, desktop, and Windows settings, with a search depth of 20 and up to two crawl pages configured. All 27 tasks completed.
The queries were split before analysis into 8 business-builder, 9 app-builder, and 10 comparison queries. Each query counts once; the sample is not weighted by search volume or impressions. No logged-in or personalized search history was used.
A separate recount reproduced every headline total from the 27 retained response files. A deterministic ten-file sample and all 16 completed AI Overview records were also checked separately. Raw provider responses, snippets, and screenshots are not redistributed.

Definitions
What each count means.
Organic item
One returned item with type organic. The 470 items are result occurrences, not 470 unique pages.
Video surface
A result page containing at least one video or short-video result surface.
Organic top 5 or top 10
An organic item whose provider-reported organic rank_group was five or lower, or ten or lower. This is not absolute visual position across every SERP feature.
Top-level AI Overview reference
A domain present in the top-level references returned with a completed AI Overview. Nested links and ten asynchronous placeholders were not scored.

Limits
What this snapshot does not prove.
Selected, not representative
The 27 queries were predeclared for this category study. They are nonrandom, unweighted, and cannot establish what appears across all AI-related searches.
Observation, not causation
The snapshot records what appeared. It does not establish a source or format preference, or show that using one will cause rankings or AI citations.
Ten reference sets are unknown
Ten AI Overview markers were asynchronous placeholders. Their unseen references are unknown, not negative observations.
One place and time
Results came from US, English, desktop searches during one August 6 capture window. Live results can differ by time, place, device, and user context.
Corrections and next test
Keep the observation separate from the experiment.
The practical next test is a transparent product demonstration with inspectable first-hand evidence, then measuring whether it earns discovery over time. This snapshot does not predict that result. For a factual correction, use the Foundable contact page. Material corrections will be explained and dated; this v1 sample will not be silently rewritten.
