Case study, AI visibility, January to June 2026

  • Rx savingsU.S. prescription savings platform
  • 60,000+Pharmacies nationwide
  • $130M+In real prescription savings
  • NYCPatients and providers focus

The problem

The client had invested years in traditional SEO: content, links, directory submissions, blog production. Organic visibility wasn’t translating into actual product usage, and patient search behavior was shifting toward AI assistants, a channel the existing program didn’t address.

By early 2026, the client was ready to walk away from SEO, because the program no longer produced a clear line from visibility to real-world usage.

The solution: AI search everywhere optimization

The program was redirected from traditional rankings to AI visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Copilot, Claude, and Grok.
