Run by the SEO Stuff team, the team behind Rightcited, in four categories from four different starting points. Every count is an AI citation count as recorded when the engagement began and in August 2026, from the same independent AI citation index throughout, so the before and after are on one basis. Company names are withheld on this page; screenshots of the source records are available on request.
A healthcare platform with its core audience in the Gulf. When the engagement began, AI assistants hardly mentioned it: 186 Google AI Overview citations, 123 on ChatGPT, 22 on Copilot, while its patients were already asking assistants where to book care. The team traced the citations that did exist and the ones its competitors had, built a work plan from the gap, and in each 30-day window deployed tens of pieces: existing pages rewritten so a machine can lift them, placements on editorial and health publications, forum threads where the questions are asked, and health ecommerce platforms, all refreshed on schedule.
| Platform | At the start | August 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Google AI Overviews | 186 | 9,400 |
| ChatGPT | 123 | 1,600 |
| Perplexity | 49 | 462 |
| Copilot | 22 | 332 |
Organic visits are now about 235,000 a month, up 56,300 in the last three months of the period.
A US telehealth company in medically supervised weight loss, one of the most competitive categories online. On day one Google's AI Overviews cited it zero times; ChatGPT 161, Perplexity 7, Copilot 36. Assistants cite conservatively on medical questions and lean on sources that look authoritative and corroborated, so the team mapped where the platforms were already getting their weight-loss answers, then deployed hundreds of pieces: pages restructured with plain answers, eligibility and pricing, pros and cons, and FAQs in the buyer's words; long-form clinical and comparison pieces; and citations placed across health ecommerce platforms, editorial sites and the forum threads assistants read in the category, with the facts identical everywhere.
| Platform | At the start | August 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Perplexity | 7 | 3,200 |
| Google AI Overviews | 0 | 823 |
| ChatGPT | 161 | 744 |
| Copilot | 36 | 379 |
The site's domain rating rose 8 points in the last three months of the period, to 66.
One of the longest-running names in American precious metals, with decades of authority among gold investors that AI had not inherited: 38 ChatGPT citations at the start. The library was deep and in the wrong shapes, long essays where the assistants reach for direct answers, comparison tables and current pages. More than a hundred pieces went out: cornerstone pages restructured with plain answers, pricing context and FAQs; long-form work on the questions investors ask assistants; short pieces for the narrow, high-intent ones; and placements across financial and fintech publications, investing communities and the forum threads where buyers compare dealers.
| Platform | At the start | August 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | 38 | 920 |
| Google AI Overviews | 77 | 422 |
| Copilot | 27 | 332 |
| Perplexity | 158 | 259 |
| Gemini | 16 | 153 |
ChatGPT citations rose roughly twenty-four times from the starting count.
A major Australian frequent-flyer points publication that came in already strong: 2,600 Google AI Overview citations, 944 on ChatGPT, 1,400 on Perplexity. The question was whether an established leader could still grow in AI answers. The first job was surgical: which existing pages the assistants cited and which they skipped, and why (strong journalism in shapes machines struggle to lift). Then more than a hundred pieces: guides restructured with direct answers, current valuations, comparison tables and FAQs; long-form work on the card, program and redemption questions; short dated pieces where currency matters; placements across travel and finance publications and the communities assistants lean on; and a refresh schedule, because valuations and offers change monthly.
| Platform | At the start | August 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Google AI Overviews | 2,600 | 10,600 |
| Perplexity | 1,400 | 2,400 |
| ChatGPT | 944 | 1,500 |
| Copilot | 567 | 1,000 |
AI Overview citations quadrupled from an already high base.
An AI citation count is the number of archived AI answers in an independent index that cite a page on the domain. It is an observational panel, a flight recorder of answers, and it undersamples niche and local categories, so the honest signal is the change on one panel over time and the gap to competitors measured the same way, never the absolute number. The counts above come from one index throughout.
These four engagements were run under the SEO Stuff name by the team that now runs Rightcited; the method (trace the sources, build the pages the assistants lift, get the facts onto the sites they read, refresh on schedule) is the method inside Core. What Rightcited adds is the weekly check on four assistants with every answer archived, a person grading every flag, and a dashboard where every count opens the answers behind it, so a client reads the evidence rather than a chart.
No reviews are quoted on this page because none has been collected yet in Rightcited's own name. When a client agrees to be named, the case goes here with the company's name on it. If you are a client and want yours added, email hello@rightcited.com.
Or start smaller: the AI Page Check runs one page through all four assistants for $2.99.
