Citation-ready answer
AI Growth Bench is a public portfolio lab that shows how AI-assisted growth work can be planned, published, measured, and improved. The site combines two operating tracks: a trend-to-content pipeline for discovering keywords, scoring opportunities, generating programmatic SEO page briefs, publishing experiments, and tracking index readiness; and a GEO visibility bench for testing whether pages are structured clearly enough for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and Google AI Overview style answers. It does not sell a product or claim guaranteed rankings. It documents a repeatable workflow, the current evidence, open risks, and next tests so remote teams or hiring managers can evaluate practical execution. The strongest proof points are the public system map, experiment pages, weekly reports, evidence log, llms.txt files, robots.txt crawler policy, and the Search Console evidence slots reserved for verified indexing data.

Case study snapshot
What this portfolio case is proving.
Goal
Build a public portfolio case that proves AI growth automation, programmatic SEO, and GEO visibility can be operated as one measurable system.
System built
A Next.js public bench with trend scoring, page quality gates, sitemap/index tracking, answer-engine tests, weekly reports, and an evidence log.
Current result
The MVP is live on aigrowthbench.com with HTTPS, self-canonical routes, XML/text sitemaps, RSS/Atom feeds, robots.txt, llms files, IndexNow verification, portfolio modules, GEO baseline reports, a 2026-07-05 GEO visibility report, initial ChatGPT/Grok/Gemini prompt evidence, and one external SEO case study based on AI Trend Prompt Hub.
Next experiment
Recheck discovery and index state for the Traffic Playbooks cluster after the July 21 internal-link and submission update, then rerun the same AI visibility prompts across Gemini, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Grok, and Google AI Overview while capturing cited URLs.

Live case study
AI Trend Prompt Hub is evidence, not the same project.
AI Trend Prompt Hub is an external AI prompt trend site used by AI Growth Bench as a real programmatic SEO and traffic-discovery case study. It showed that concrete long-tail image-editing searches can create earlier traction than broad generic AI prompt topics.
This keeps the portfolio boundary clean: AI Growth Bench explains the operating system, while AI Trend Prompt Hub supplies one real external SEO experiment with Search Console evidence, long-tail keyword learning, and indexing follow-up.

Evidence log preview
The proof trail behind the case.
Priority GEO pages indexed; playbooks still undiscovered
The July 21 URL Inspection refresh confirmed that the GEO report, GEO checklist, and AI Trend case study are indexed. The remaining discovery gap is the /playbooks hub and its three child pages, which Google still reports as unknown.
Initial GEO visibility report published
At the July 5 checkpoint, AI Growth Bench separated technical GEO readiness from real AI citation proof: core GEO pages were indexed, the checklist and case study still needed follow-up, and Perplexity/Gemini/Google AI Overview claims remained pending.
External AI Trend Prompt Hub case study added
AI Growth Bench added a first-class case study that uses AI Trend Prompt Hub as real SEO evidence while keeping the portfolio project and the prompt site separated.
