Executive Summary
Breaking into AI search can feel impossible for startups starting from zero. A health industry startup partnered with Frevana to solve this challenge. Within two weeks, their AI search visibility score increased from 0% to 4%, and within the first week, their new landing page drove a paid conversion directly from ChatGPT. This 0-to-1 leap was achieved through an AEO audit, LLMs/Robots.txt optimization, building a citation-friendly landing page, and deploying an AEO visibility dashboard.
Background
The client, a growing healthcare startup, recognized the shift from traditional SEO to AI-driven product discovery but lacked the foundation for AI visibility. Their domain lacked critical AI-ready infrastructure, leaving them completely absent from generative search results.
Challenges

- Technical Gaps: Missing and misconfigured LLMs.txt and Robots.txt files.
