Case Studies

Before vs After

Measured visibility deltas from CiteMap optimization projects. Each result uses the same baseline methodology and includes scan timestamps.

RunLedger

Visibility score improved from 0/100 to 65/100 with a context-first homepage rewrite.

Request Benchmark Review

RunLedger started with near-zero AI-readable signal. Rebuilding the homepage into machine-readable sections and adding `/llms.txt` produced a major visibility lift and sharply reduced noise.

Optimized Tokens101,548+1,538
`/llms.txt`Missing (404)Present (200)Improved

What Changed

  • Replaced script-heavy homepage output with text-first capability sections.
  • Added and linked `/llms.txt` for agent discovery.
  • Aligned retrieval-intent terms across page sections.
  • Reduced non-essential script and markup overhead.

After scan reflects optimized deployment candidates and should be revalidated on production domains.

Simetrix

Visibility score improved from 3/100 to 64/100 with a high-signal homepage structure.

Request Benchmark Review

Simetrix already had an `/llms.txt` endpoint, but the homepage had low AI-readable density. A capability-first rewrite substantially improved signal and reduced noise.

What Changed

  • Rebuilt homepage around concise retrieval-friendly explanation.
  • Added explicit platform, workflow, governance, and fit sections.
  • Kept `/llms.txt` and aligned terminology with homepage content.
  • Increased useful content density per token.
