SERP Position vs AI Visibility Score shows the correlation between where a university ranks in Google search results and their overall AI visibility score.
This suggests:
1. Strong SEO correlates with strong AI presence – Google and ChatGPT likely draw from similar authority signals
2. Losing your #1 spot has compounding effects – you lose both search traffic AND AI credibility
3. The gap widens at lower positions – Position 1→2 drops 7 points, but 3→4+ drops another 7
