Flagship GEO experiment
AI Growth Bench 30-check citation benchmark
Ten fixed prompts, three answer engines, one baseline, and one 14-day retest. Pending cells remain visible until a real result is captured.
Hypothesis
If AI Growth Bench consolidates direct answers, explicit evidence labels, and first-party result pages around a fixed prompt set, more answer engines should recognize the entity and display a canonical source after 14 days.
Treatment
Publish a Results page, this fixed-prompt protocol, a same-site GEO checker, stronger result-led homepage links, and consistent AI-readable route context without adding unverified claims.
- Baseline
- 2026-08-31
- 14-day retest
- 2026-09-14
- Baseline complete
- 30/30
- Retest complete
- 0/30
Baseline complete: 3 mentions and 2 citations across 30 checks. The fixed retest remains pending until 2026-09-14.
Measurement rule
What makes a check complete?
1
Run the exact prompt
Do not rewrite the wording between engines or dates.
2
Capture the result
Record date, mention, citation, accuracy, and the displayed source URL.
3
Apply the guardrail
A crawler visit, domain mention, or answer that resembles site copy does not count as a citation unless the captured result displays the source URL.
