SEO, AEO, and GEO proof, labeled by what can actually be verified.
Most agency case study pages blur named results, anonymized wins, recycled screenshots, and hypothetical strategy. Searchmaxxed separates them. Named client results, anonymized proof packets, representative patterns, methodology proof, and active tests should never look the same.
Nothing on this page should be read as a named client result unless it includes attribution status, source artifact, baseline date, outcome date, and measurement method.
Proof taxonomy
- Named client result: client-approved public attribution with name, URL or screenshot, baseline date, outcome date, and measurement source.
- Anonymized result: real client work where identity is withheld because of NDAs, local-market sensitivity, competitive sensitivity, or client preference.
- Representative pattern: a reusable structure, workflow, page architecture, or strategy pattern. Useful for explaining how we think, but not a verified client outcome.
- Methodology proof: audit outputs, SERP matrices, prompt maps, entity gaps, technical checks, source maps, and before/after logic.
- Hypothesis or active test: a clearly labeled expected mechanism, planned experiment, or current test that has not matured into a result.
Current public proof packets
- B2B SaaS, SEO + AEO visibility: answer-share baseline, competitor citation map, bottom-of-funnel page plan, comparison coverage, source-page architecture, and authority gap map. Representative pattern only.
- Ecommerce, product discovery: product-query prompt set, category page rebuilds, comparison content, review-source mapping, structured data, and internal link improvements. Representative pattern only.
- B2B services, decision-stage prompts: service-page rebuilds, proof-path architecture, directory and review gap map, comparison pages, and third-party corroboration plan. Representative pattern only.
- Methodology proof: live SERP teardown, competitor structure matrix, entity and topic requirements, proof gaps, CTA logic, and implementation-ready page brief.
Measurement standard
- Google Search Console exports with baseline and outcome windows.
- GA4 or analytics events tied to landing-page quality and conversion paths.
- CRM, call, form, or qualified-opportunity review where tracking exists.
- Rank tracking, SERP captures, and dated screenshot evidence.
- AI visibility prompt sets across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and cited-source logs.
- Technical crawl exports, schema checks, internal-link maps, and source-page inventories.
Proof FAQs
Why are some case studies anonymized?
Search and AI visibility can expose sensitive keywords, local markets, source gaps, and competitive leverage. Anonymized proof can still be useful when it includes category, starting condition, work shipped, time window, and measurement method.
Do representative patterns mean those are client results?
No. A representative pattern shows how Searchmaxxed approaches a common problem. It is not a named result, not a performance claim, and not a substitute for a verified proof packet.
How do you measure AEO, GEO, or AI SEO results?
We use fixed prompt sets, answer captures, cited-source logs, brand mention frequency, competitor displacement, AI Overview and snippet presence, GSC/GA4 movement, and pipeline indicators where available.
