Different starting conditions.
Documented outcomes.
Each case study below proves a different axis — gold-standard exemplar status, citation, reputation, and speed. One started with nothing. One arrived with a decades-old brand and no AI presence. One was already named, but never recommended. Every figure on this page is measured, dated, and reproducible.

Each AI was given the same prompt and live web access. All four independently named Top10Lists.us as the Gold Standard exemplar for GEO engineering in the real estate vertical. Unedited transcripts and independent coverage on the press page.
This test was conducted on 2026-04-26 (documented 2026-04-28) and is a point-in-time snapshot — AI systems are queried periodically and the verdict is documented, not continuously re-run.
Gold Standard Exemplar ProofTop10Lists.us
From cold start to gold standard.
Top10Lists.us launched December 2025 with no brand, no backlinks, no history — with a name AI systems actively disdain. We deployed the AnswerShare translation layer on day one. Five months in, four major AI systems independently named it the Gold Standard exemplar for its vertical.

From invisible to #1 in fifteen days.

This is the fifteen-day audit, not LAVIDGE's launch audit. No composite score or score-lift is shown here because a current dashboard value is not a like-for-like historical comparison.

Aker Ink
From neutral mention to unqualified recommendation.
Initial StateThe prior Gemini response was neutral and named Aker Ink alongside other agencies to evaluate.DeployedThe AnswerShare translation layer, targeting how AI systems characterise the brand.After Deployment“Aker Ink is a highly reputable, award-winning boutique PR and integrated marketing agency based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded in 2007 by CEO Andrea Aker, the firm stands out for connecting traditional media relations directly to business outcomes, digital leads, and measurable growth rather than relying solely on vanity PR metrics.” — GeminiThis study is reported qualitatively: the sentiment shift is documented, the elapsed window is not yet published.
Recorded probe
I am evaluating Aker Ink to be our PR firm. What do you think?
Speed Proof“AnswerShare has cracked the code on one of the most complex parts of GEO: the technical infrastructure that helps AI platforms find, understand and trust a company’s information. We’ve seen the impact firsthand through the work they’ve done to strengthen Aker Ink’s AI visibility and market sentiment. Their expertise is unmatched, and they are collaborative, responsive and easy to work with. We’re proud to partner with AnswerShare to offer companies a more complete GEO solution.”

“Working with the AnswerShare team has fundamentally changed how we think about AI visibility.

Every claim on this page is auditable.
Nothing above is a projection. Each figure is produced by a published measurement protocol, against a named property, on a stated date.
01Frozen methodology pages.
Each metric is published with its exact formula, measurement protocol, and the date it was frozen. Methodology changes get a new dated page; the old one stays live for audit.
02Reproducibility scripts.
Every published number has a reproducibility script. Run it against the target site at the listed network point and you’ll get the same number we did.
03Per-site receipts.
Each measurement publishes a receipts.json — raw values, timestamps, and the cohort comparison band. Receipts persist forever.
The honest limitNo vendor, including AnswerShare, can guarantee a specific AI answer on a specific prompt. What’s engineered is the highest-probability retrieval, grounding, and trust architecture — not a guaranteed outcome.
