Case Study

SEO & AEO Growth Engine

SEO AEO / GEO Marketing

Project Overview

Search & AI-Answer Optimization at Scale

Dominating Search & AI Answers

A B2B software company was invisible online — ranking on page 5+ for critical keywords, getting zero presence in AI-generated search answers (Google SGE, Bing Chat, Perplexity), and watching competitors dominate their market.

CodzFlow launched a comprehensive SEO + AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) program that combined traditional search optimization with cutting-edge AI answer engine strategies to triple their qualified organic leads in just nine months.

The program spanned technical SEO overhauls, content authority building, AI-citation optimization, and data-driven link building — creating a growth engine that delivers results across both traditional search and the new AI-powered search landscape.

The Challenge

Problems We Had to Solve

Invisible in Search

Ranking on page 5+ for 90% of target keywords. Monthly organic traffic was under 500 visits despite operating in a $2B market.

Zero AI Presence

No visibility in Google SGE, Bing Chat, Perplexity, or ChatGPT responses. Competitors were being cited as authoritative sources while this brand was invisible.

Technical SEO Debt

2,000+ crawl errors, duplicate content issues, missing schema markup, slow Core Web Vitals, and a messy site architecture built without SEO consideration.

Content Quality Gap

Blog content was thin, keyword-stuffed, and outdated. No topical authority established in their core expertise areas.
