CASE STUDIES

Businesses AI now trusts.

Five accounts, five industries. Where each score started, what the traffic did, and the question each one now owns.

What the average account achieves in its first three months

  • Citations and mentions
  • +45% AI visibility score

Lendersa

Real estate lending marketplace · Nationwide

Cytd Score 32 to 92. Citations and mentions 2 to 42. Best performing engine: ChatGPT.

What is the best platform to match my commercial loan scenario with hundreds of lenders?

Operating since 2016 with a full content library, and still absent from the answer. Nine out of ten of their AI visitors had never touched the site before.

Colfax Strong

Fitness, gym and small-group coaching · Local — Denver, Colorado

Cytd Score 18 to 95. Citations and mentions 3 to 33. Best performing engine: Claude.

Is there a gym near me in Denver that offers Hyrox prep and small-group coaching?

The biggest climb in the group, from the lowest starting score. They never tried to win "best gyms in Denver" — location plus specialty is a field they can legitimately own.

Prodrome Sciences

Supplements, plasmalogen precursors · Global

Cytd Score 20 to 78. Citations and mentions 2 to 24. Best performing engine: ChatGPT.

Where can I buy plasmalogen precursor supplements for brain health?

Roughly half their AI sessions arrived through a citation — the models were not just naming them, they were pointing people at the page.

Lubbock Sports Medicine

Sports medicine practice · Local — Lubbock, Texas

Cytd Score 21 to 77. Citations and mentions 3 to 26. Best performing engine: Grok.

They arrived with some AI presence already. A textbook run through all three phases took them from "sometimes mentioned" to the practice AI recommends in their area.

Agency Management Institute

Management consulting, peer networks · North America

Cytd Score 25 to 75. Citations and mentions 6 to 31. Best performing engine: Grok.

How to find a peer group for marketing agency owners to share best practices and financial benchmarks?

A long, specific question with real intent behind it. Owning it puts them in front of buyers at the exact moment they go looking for a group to join.
