The AI answer is the new front page. When someone asks an assistant "how do I protest my property taxes in Texas," the two or three brands it names win the click — and the customer. Everyone else is invisible, no matter how good their site is.
Where TaxStand started: nowhere
Our first baseline ran 120 buyer-intent prompts across four AI engines. TaxStand was cited as a source in 0% of them — dead last among twelve tracked competitors. The site was solid; the AIs just didn't know it existed or couldn't quote it.
Where it stands now
How we did it — the honest pipeline
- Measured first. Baselined the exact buyer questions in the category and scored who the AIs cite — so every move targeted a real gap, not a guess.
- Made the site AI-legible. Fixed crawlability, schema, headings and answer-style content so engines can actually read and quote it — then verified indexation, not just submission.
- Earned the citations. Published disclosed, genuinely useful answers to the questions the AIs were asking, on the sources they pull from — no spam, no overlays, no fake reviews.
- Re-measured in the open. Re-ran the same prompts monthly and tracked the climb. 0% → 13.1%, and still moving.
No tricks — the same method we run on every site we own, in public. The point of a tool called CitedAudit is that the numbers are real and reproducible.
