📊 Case Study: How One Startup Ranked in 3 Months With AI SEO

Most founders think SEO is a 12–18 month game.
But in this case study, we’ll show you how a YC-backed SaaS startup went from invisible to ranking on Google—and being cited in LLMs—in just 90 days.

New startup in the B2B SaaS space.
Had zero organic visibility.
Competitors were already spending heavily on ads and content.
Investors wanted proof of organic traction before committing to Series A.
They couldn’t wait 12 months. They needed results now.

We applied Traconomics’ AI SEO + GEO framework, built specifically for startups:

Foundation Setup
- Optimized technical SEO (site speed, structure, schema).
- Created an entity profile across Crunchbase, Wikidata, and developer directories.
AI-Optimized Content
- Built long-form content designed for both Google and AI models.
- Answered “best tools for X” style prompts directly.
Authority Signals
- Secured backlinks from YC blogs, niche SaaS publications, and tech news sites.
- Published thought-leadership pieces targeting LLM crawl datasets.
Generative Testing
- Weekly testing on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
- Adjusted content until the startup became a default citation.

Google Rankings: From no visibility to top 10 for 12+ high-value keywords.
LLM Citations: Mentioned in ChatGPT and Perplexity for “best SaaS tool for X.”
Traffic Growth: 400% increase in organic traffic.
Investor Confidence: Startup closed Series A with organic traction as proof.
