Challenge
Despite having 50,000+ monthly organic visitors, this e-commerce brand was completely absent from AI search results. When customers asked ChatGPT for product recommendations, competitors dominated every response. The brand was losing an estimated $200K/month in potential revenue from AI-driven discovery.
Approach
We executed a focused 45-day sprint: (1) AI Brand Audit revealed zero citations across 5 major AI models, (2) Implemented llms.txt with product catalog optimization, (3) Enhanced schema.org markup for products and reviews, (4) Launched targeted content campaigns to build AI-visible authority signals, (5) Monitored and optimized based on real-time AI citation tracking.
Results
Within 45 days, the brand achieved 142% increase in AI citations and became the #1 ChatGPT recommendation in their category. AI-driven traffic increased by 340%, with an estimated $85K in additional monthly revenue attributed to improved AI visibility. The brand now appears in 78% of relevant AI search queries.
