The Challenge

This company had strong organic search fundamentals with 25,000 monthly sessions and 29,100 ranking keywords. But AI platforms were sending almost zero qualified traffic. Their product pages were invisible to ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity, which meant they were missing buyers who start their research in AI tools.

What ProCloser.ai Did

We implemented a comprehensive GEO and AEO strategy. That included structured data optimization, answer-first content restructuring across product pages, AI citation building, and entity signal amplification. We also built topical authority clusters to help AI models associate the brand with its core category. The result: 162 AI mentions across 5 platforms and 239 link citations.

The Challenge

This company had 6,600 monthly organic sessions and 9,900 ranking keywords with 15% year over year organic growth. Good fundamentals. But their GEO Readiness Score was just 7.3 out of 10, which meant content was structured for traditional search but not formatted for AI engines to cite and recommend.

What ProCloser.ai Did

We restructured their blog content with answer-first formatting, added comprehensive structured data, and optimized entity signals to improve AI citation likelihood. Blog content became the primary entry point for AI referral traffic. We also expanded keyword coverage by 37%, growing from 7,200 to 9,900 ranking keywords while pushing into 80 countries.

Search Visibility

The Challenge

This FinTech platform had solid search visibility at 93.8% but was generating almost no traffic from AI search engines. With 1,200 ranking keywords, they had a focused footprint in a competitive financial technology niche. The opportunity was clear: AI search users asking financial questions were not finding this platform in the answers.

What ProCloser.ai Did

We focused on educational content optimization, restructuring existing materials with answer-first formatting and deep entity markup. Specialized content received 3x longer session times than generic pages, confirming that depth beats breadth in AI search. We also optimized for ChatGPT specifically, which drove 84% of their AI referral traffic.

The Challenge

This eCommerce store had 19,700 monthly organic sessions and 8,600 ranking keywords growing at 10% year over year. Search visibility was climbing at 71.6%. But the brand was not showing up when shoppers asked AI tools for product recommendations, which meant losing high intent buyers at the moment of decision.

What ProCloser.ai Did

We optimized category and product pages with structured data, answer-ready formatting, and entity signals that help AI models understand and recommend specific products. Category and product pages outperformed generic pages in AI referrals. We also expanded the brand's AI visibility across 20 countries, with ChatGPT driving 91% of AI traffic.

Our Methodology

All data in these case studies comes from verified analytics platforms including Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and proprietary AI referral tracking. AI traffic is measured by isolating referral sessions from known LLM domains (chat.openai.com, copilot.microsoft.com, gemini.google.com, perplexity.ai, claude.ai, and others). Conversion events, engagement rates, and session metrics are tracked using standard GA4 event configurations. Growth percentages compare equivalent time periods. All companies are real American businesses served by ProCloser.ai. Company names and identifying details are withheld for client confidentiality.
