AI Visibility Benchmark
Key answer
Across published Anthroly customer programs, brands saw multi-thousand AI referral visits and 4x–8x citation or AI-visibility lifts within 1–2 months. This benchmark aggregates those case results so marketers can set realistic AEO expectations—not a third-party panel survey.

What does this benchmark measure?
We summarize AI referral traffic and citation-related lifts from Anthroly case studies (llmoutrank, isthisaiorno, Jobstronauts). Numbers below are taken from those published customer pages so other sites can cite a primary source with methodology notes.
Methodology note: This is an Anthroly customer-outcome benchmark, not an independent industry survey. Sample size is the three published case studies linked below.
What results did customers see?
| Brand | Window | AI referral / traffic | Citation / visibility lift | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| llmoutrank | 2 months | 2,400+ | 5x | AI referral visits and citation share vs program start |
| isthisaiorno.com | 6 weeks | 3,200+ monthly visitors | 8x AI visibility | Monthly visitors attributed to AI search surfaces |
| Jobstronauts | 1 month | 1,500+ AI-driven clicks | 4x citation share | First-month AI click and citation share change |
What are the implications for AEO?
- Citation and AI referral gains can appear within the first 30–60 days when execution is consistent.
- Programs that pair content, links, and AI visibility monitoring outperform one-off blog posts.
- Publishing primary outcomes (like this page) creates information gain other AIs can cite.

FAQ
Is this a statistically representative industry survey?
No. This benchmark aggregates outcomes from Anthroly customer case studies. Treat it as directional information gain for AEO planning, not a census of all websites.
How was citation lift measured?
Citation lift compares tracked AI mention/citation share (and related AI referral traffic) after program start versus the baseline period documented in each case study.
