Fade Digital GEO results — AI citation growth and revenue impact

First time here?

We don't report on traffic.
We report on revenue.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is about getting your business cited by AI — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. When AI recommends you, users arrive already sold. That changes your numbers.

Every metric below is tied to revenue, patient volume, or deal velocity — not impressions or rankings.

Some clients are listed confidentially at their request. Full details are available on a discovery call.

Results typically begin within 90 days. Authority compounds over 6 months.

Toronto Eye Care

Toronto Eye Care faced a saturated local market with rising ad costs ($15+ CPC). They needed high-value patients, not just clicks.

The Strategy: Knowledge Graph Injection

We moved beyond keywords. We built a structured data layer that defined their clinic as the "Entity" for specific treatments (Dry Eye, Lasik) in Toronto, allowing AI to "read" their authority.

The Result: High-Value Patients

AI users ask complex questions like "Best doctor for complex dry eye." These users convert at a higher rate and spend more per visit.

SmartTek Solutions

SmartTek was invisible across every major AI platform — zero citations when prospects searched for their services in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews.

The Strategy: Citation Architecture

We built a comprehensive citation network across authoritative industry directories, structured their expertise data for LLM consumption, and optimized content to directly answer the questions AI pulls from when recommending tech vendors.

The Result: AI Presence in 90 Days

From zero to 75+ active citations across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — with qualified inbound traffic arriving from prospects already convinced by AI recommendations.

The Quality Gap

Why AI traffic is worth more to your bottom line.

Traditional SEO Traffic
  • User is browsing/skimming
  • High bounce rates common
  • Comparisons happen on your site
  • Average LTV
Fade GEO Traffic
  • User is seeking a specific answer
  • Pre-qualified by AI before clicking
  • Comparisons happen before arrival
  • High LTV / Low Churn
