By Kailesk · · 6 min read

We measure success by citation frequency. This case study details the exact timeline from deployment to market saturation for a premium Premium home service business.

Day 1: Deployment and indexing

We push the new codebase to production. We submit the updated sitemap to all major search consoles. We publish the llms.txt file to instruct AI crawlers. The initial fetch occurs within four hours.

Day 14: The first citations

The models complete their evaluation of the new structured data. The facility appears in the first test query. The citation includes a direct link to the specific service page we engineered.

Day 38: Market saturation

The facility is now cited across twenty four distinct queries on Perplexity. The citations span pricing questions, provider recommendations, and general local search intents. The AI engine has accepted our structured data as the ground truth for this market.
