Source coverage
Where the LLMs get their information about PostHog
The most-cited source is youtube.com (31 citations). Third-party coverage is doing more of the work shaping how AI describes PostHog than PostHog's own pages — a typical pattern for brands without a tight content strategy on their site.
What to do about it
How PostHog can change how AI describes it
PostHog already appears in AI answers, so the work is about prominence and accuracy — moving from "mentioned" to "recommended," and making sure the framing is the one PostHog would choose. Three levers do most of the work:
- 01Be extractable. Publish answers to real Analytics buyer questions in clean, self-contained passages a retrieval layer can lift without guessing. See how to optimize for AI citation.
- 02Earn the right citations. AI assistants quote sources they trust. Getting onto the third-party roundups and reviews they already cite moves the needle more than on-site changes alone.
- 03Measure, don't guess. Track PostHog's share of paragraph across assistants over time so you know which changes actually shifted the answer. See how to measure AI visibility.
How we measured this
The methodology behind this report
This report is built from a fixed panel of category-recommendation and brand-research prompts — the kinds of questions a real buyer asks when researching Analytics tools. We run them across AI search surfaces (primarily Google AI Overview, with coverage expanding across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity) and record every time PostHog is mentioned, how it is characterized, and which sources the assistant cites.
A "mention" means PostHog appeared by name in the answer; sentiment reflects how positively it was framed. We don't inflate counts with branded queries where a brand is guaranteed to appear — the panel is built around unbranded, intent-driven prompts where the assistant chooses who to surface. This snapshot was last refreshed May 6, 2026.
