Case studies & results

Clear Cited gets B2B SaaS and developer-tools companies recommended where ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok answer their buyers — by fixing the SEO foundation, producing answer-first content, and building off-site authority. Every result here is measured the same way: each buyer prompt run 10+ times per engine, reported as a median share of model with a 95% confidence interval — not screenshots.

Clear Cited runs its own AEO — in public

We measure our own share-of-model across every engine and publish the numbers transparently, with method. Our most honest proof.

Client results

As founding engagements complete, each one is published below — drawn from the client's actual measurement data and shared only with written permission. Anonymized cases appear as "a B2B SaaS company" until the client approves being named.

A note on honesty. Clear Cited is newly launched. Until real, client-approved results exist, any example labelled illustrative uses a representative scenario — not a real named client — to show the kind of result and reporting we deliver. Real founding-client case studies are published here, with permission, as they complete.
Real, client-approved case studies will be published here as founding engagements complete — measured the same way, shared with written permission.

In the meantime, see how we run our own AEO in public (real, in progress), read an illustrative example of the format and reporting a finished case study uses, or see an illustrative showcase of the full set of work we hand over — the audit, the data, the content, and the rationale, together (a fictional sample client; the numbers are illustrative).

Real case studies are generated from actual engagement data (with written permission) and auto-repurposed into our newsletter and socials. Want to be one of the first? Start free →

Most AEO optimizes only the slice of citations you own. Here's the whole map — all four tiers AI cites from, and how much of it we actually work.
