Case 01

B2B SaaS platform – from zero to a fixed AI source

Starting point

A platform with 80+ employees in the marketing-tech niche. Despite solid Google rankings, not a single mention in ChatGPT/Perplexity answers to category questions. Competitors were cited consistently; the brand itself was not.

Measures over 4 months

  • GEO audit across an 80-question set in four AI models
  • Organization, Service and Person schema implemented
  • Fact-density refresh on 30+ pillar pages
  • FAQ clusters built around category questions
  • Digital PR: 14 topic-relevant expert mentions placed
  • Entity consistency across LinkedIn, Wikipedia, Crunchbase & co.

Result after 4 months

Case 02

Mid-sized professional services firm – 7× more AI enquiries

Starting point

A specialized firm with a clear area of expertise but a generic online presence. Client acquisition almost entirely through referrals, with barely any digital touchpoints in the research funnel.

Measures over 6 months

  • FAQ clusters covering the 20 most common client questions
  • FAQPage schema implemented across the board
  • Person schema for senior lawyers with sameAs links

Measures over 5 months

  • Comparison guides for the top-20 product categories
  • Fact-density refresh of the category copy
  • Product schema with reviews, availability, material specs
  • Brand mentions in lifestyle/interiors magazines
  • FAQPage schema for 80+ product detail questions

A note on methodology

How our numbers come about

We measure GEO visibility through systematic test queries in each AI model. Per client, 30–80 relevant questions, multiple test rounds to detect variance, and a comparison with the top 3 competitors. All cases are anonymized for confidentiality – we are happy to share concrete numbers and references for your industry in a personal intro call.
