3.8× more Google AI answers in the first month

An international trading company’s pages appeared in Google’s AI answers 1,204 times in its first month with us, up from 314: 3.8 times as many. Its average position on Google rose from 24.4 to 15.5. Here is what we did and how it was measured.

01

The result

  • 3.8×Google AI answers: 1,204, up from 314
  • 15.5Average Google position, up from 24.4
  • 678AI answers across three new guides (437, 145 and 96)
  • 41Microsoft Copilot citations of one guide in a week

The company stays anonymous: we don’t publish its name.

02

Timeframe and starting point

We took over search on September 20, 2026. The numbers compare the first month after that date with the month before. Positions have been higher in every full week since.

The company is an international trading company. For a year it had paid a search provider every month, and its site had never been registered with Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools. That is the starting point: a site search engines had not been told about.

03

What we aimed at

Get the company’s pages into Google’s AI answers and higher on Google for the questions its buyers ask, such as how to tell a trustworthy supplier. We aim at a set of real buyer questions, not at a promised number.

04

What we did

  • Registered the site with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools on day one.
  • Wrote one guide per real buyer question, with the answer in the first sentence.
  • Added structured data to every page.
  • Redirected every old address so nothing was lost.
  • Sent new pages to Bing through IndexNow, so Bing and Copilot saw them the same day.
  • Wrote up a check-in every week.
05

How it was measured

The counts of AI answers, positions and citations are read from Google and Bing, the two services we registered the site with on day one. We compare like with like: the first month after we started against the month before. Counts move from month to month, and one client over one month is one data point. We claim no more than that.

We measure our other work the same way: a question list, asked every week, logged with dates. Details are on our search page.

An international trading company. We don’t publish its name.

We registered the site with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, wrote one guide per buyer question, added structured data to every page, redirected old addresses, sent new pages to Bing through IndexNow, and wrote a check-in every week.

We can’t promise it. This is one client over one month, and results depend on the site, the competition and the questions. We guarantee the work and a monthly report on what it did.

SEO & AI setup is $350 one time through January 1, 2027 (normally $1,200), and ongoing work is part of the Grow plan from $700 a month. See packages and prices.
