# Reporting context and sources

## External context

Google's current Search Central guide says established SEO practices remain relevant to its generative search features. Its guidance is specific to Google; it does not certify Omni Impact or promise placement. [Google Search Central](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/ai-optimization-guide)

Pew's July 2025 analysis of 900 US adults' March browsing found traditional-result clicks on 8% of Google visits with an AI summary versus 15% without. Results were collected in April. This observational, historical study is neither a causal test nor an Omni Impact outcome. [Pew Research Center](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/07/22/google-users-are-less-likely-to-click-on-links-when-an-ai-summary-appears-in-the-results/)

These sources help frame reporting questions. They do not establish the size of Omni Impact's market, a current industry-wide click rate, customer demand, or a promised return on investment. Independently interview researchers, agencies and business owners before drawing those conclusions.

## Evidence levels in this edition

- **Company-supplied:** identity, founders and roles, establishment year, descriptions and professional background.
- **Publicly observable:** the website, listed business contact, public tool entry screen and advertised offer on the check date.
- **Company-reported release:** descriptions of capability in the public changelog, not a fresh account-level verification.
- **Illustrative:** public marketing interface scenes and the explanatory arithmetic example.
- **Independent context:** the linked Google guidance and Pew research, each within its stated scope.

No external study in this kit validates an Omni Impact customer result. No source link implies endorsement. Pricing and access should be refreshed at publication; retain dates when citing a historical release or study.
