All data is from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/ai-seo\/overview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Semrush AI SEO Toolkit<\/a>, Semrush\u2019s AI visibility &amp; search analytics platform.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the Semrush team, I examined the number of mentions across:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ChatGPT.<\/li>\n<li>ChatGPT with Search activated.<\/li>\n<li>Gemini.<\/li>\n<li>Google\u2019s AI Overviews.<\/li>\n<li>Perplexity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(If you\u2019re wondering where Claude.ai fits in this analysis, we didn\u2019t include it at this time as its user base is generally less focused on web search and more on generative tasks.)<\/p>\n<p>For the platforms above, we measured Share of Voice and the number of AI mentions against the following backlink metrics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Total backlinks.<\/li>\n<li>Unique linking domains.<\/li>\n<li>Follow links.<\/li>\n<li>Nofollow links.<\/li>\n<li>Authority Score (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/kb\/747-authority-score-backlink-scores\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Semrush metric<\/a>\u00a0referred to as\u00a0Ascore\u00a0below).<\/li>\n<li>Text links.<\/li>\n<li>Image links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this analysis, I used two different ways of measuring correlation across the data: a Pearson correlation and a Spearman correlation.<\/p>\n<p>If you are familiar with these concepts, skip to the next section where we dive into the results.<\/p>\n<p>For everyone else, I\u2019ll break these down so you have a better understanding of the findings below.<\/p>\n<p>Both Pearson and Spearman are correlation coefficients \u2013 numbers between -1 and +1 that measure how strongly two different variables are related.<\/p>\n<p>The closer the coefficient is to +1 or -1, the more likely and stronger the correlation. (Near 0 means weak or no correlation at all.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pearson\u2019s r<\/strong>\u00a0measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. Pearson looks at a linear correlation across the data using the raw values. This way of measuring is sensitive to outliers. But, if the relationship curves or has thresholds, Pearson under-measures it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spearman\u2019s \u03c1 (rho)<\/strong>\u00a0measures the strength and direction of a monotonic relationship, or whether values consistently move in the same or opposite direction, not necessarily in a straight line. Spearman looks at rank correlation across the data. It asks whether higher X tends to come with higher Y; Spearman correlation asks: \u201cWhen one thing increases, does the other usually increase too?\u201d. It\u2019s a correlation that is more robust to outliers and accounts for non-linear, monotonic patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A gap between Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients can mean the gains are non-linear.<\/p>\n<p>In other words: There\u2019s a threshold to cross. And that means the effect of X on Y doesn\u2019t kick in right away.<\/p>\n<p>Examining both the Pearson and Spearman coefficients can tell us if nothing (or very little) happens until you pass a certain point \u2013 and then once you exceed that point, the relationship shows up strongly.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick example of what an analysis that involves both coefficients can reveal:<\/p>\n<p>Spending $500 (action X) on ads might not move the needle on sales growth (outcome Y). But once you cross, say, $5,000\/month (action X), sales start growing steadily (outcome Y).<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the end of your statistics lesson for today.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_557260\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/semrush-data-679.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1064\" class=\"size-full wp-image-557260\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/semrush-data-679.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/semrush-data-679-480x319.png 480w, https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/semrush-data-679-680x452.png 680w, https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/semrush-data-679-384x255.png 384w, https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/semrush-data-679-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/semrush-data-679-1024x681.png 1024w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><span class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Kevin Indig<\/span><\/div>\n<p>The first signal we examined was the strength of the relationship between the number of backlinks a site gets versus its AI Share of Voice.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what the data showed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Authority Score has a moderate link to Share of Voice (SoV): Pearson ~0.23, Spearman ~0.36.<\/li>\n<li>Higher authority means higher SoV, but the gains are uneven.

In other words, the biggest gains come when you hit the upper boundaries of authority, or Ascore in this case.<\/p>\n<p>(For context, a\u00a0<em>decile\u00a0<\/em>is a way of splitting a dataset into 10 equal parts.
