Local Dominator Data Shows AI Engines Favor Short URLs
Local Dominator's research shows short, single-segment URLs make up nearly 29% of citations across six major AI search engines, more than any other URL format tested.
The study found homepages accounted for 15.79% of citations, and blog or resource content accounted for 14.24%, indicating these URL types shape AI search responses.
Root-Level service-and-city URLs outperform deeply nested service-category pages significantly, advising local businesses to adjust site architecture accordingly.
Eldar Cohen, founder of Local Dominator, stated that AI engines reward clarity over complexity in URL structures.
