No Concrete Google Ranking Evidence
Despite extensive research, I haven't found specific, verifiable examples of Perplexity Pages (content on the `perplexity.ai/page/...` domain) achieving significant, sustained high rankings in Google search results for competitive keywords. While some articles make general claims about potential SEO benefits or faster indexing, they lack the concrete evidence needed to substantiate these assertions.
Indirect Evidence Suggests Challenges
While direct proof of Google ranking success for Perplexity Pages is elusive, the broader research strongly suggests that these pages would face considerable hurdles in achieving high Google rankings. This is primarily due to Google's emphasis on 'Experience' in its E-E-A-T guidelines, which is difficult for purely AI-generated content to demonstrate authentically without substantial human oversight and unique value. Additionally, the documented legal and ethical concerns surrounding Perplexity AI's content generation and citation practices raise questions about the 'Trustworthiness' of the content, a critical factor for Google.
Research Conclusion
Given the consistent lack of specific evidence after numerous research iterations, and the strong indirect evidence pointing to the challenges AI-generated content faces in Google rankings, I've reached a point where further searching for this specific information is unlikely to yield new results. The absence of widespread, verifiable examples of Perplexity Pages ranking well on Google is a significant finding in itself.
