First-party data

The proof. Measured, dated, verifiable.

An agency shows you client logos. We show you data. These four cases come from sites we own or operate: we tested everything on ourselves before selling any of it.

Assistants citing the site, including Copilot

The context

Our English-language dental media for the US market. The objective: be the source AI assistants cite when someone asks a dental question.

The result

398 citations measured inside ChatGPT answers on dental-area.com, verified URL by URL in Ahrefs Site Explorer on 30 August 2026. Copilot adds 590. A previous snapshot read 653; citation totals move when Ahrefs recounts. We publish the current number.

The method, in plain terms

  1. Direct answer structure: every page opens with the answer, and assistants lift it as written.
  2. FAQ sections marked up with FAQPage schema on every piece of content.
  3. An anti-regression protocol: on a cited page, every edit is additive, never destructive. We learned that, measured it, and documented it after a real incident that we resolved and used as a laboratory.
  4. Continuous monitoring: every page is tracked on its own citation count, page by page, never as a domain average.

What it proves. AI visibility is not declared, it is engineered. And it is measurable. In France, 38.1 percent of the population was already using an AI assistant in September 2025 (Mediametrie). This channel is no longer optional.

The recovery of a Paris practice site

50%
Of organic traffic lost in six months
8
Weeks in the rebuild plan
2 to 6
Weeks for a rebuilt page to regain positions

The context

The site of an orthodontic practice we operate had lost roughly half its organic traffic between January and July 2026: publishing had stopped, freshness had decayed, competitors were active, and AI Overviews were eroding click-through rate.

The result

An eight-week plan: six existing pages rebuilt, two new pieces of content, a fixed weekly publication rhythm, internal linking rebuilt, FAQPage schema applied systematically. Production orchestrated end to end by our system, from brief to delivery.

The first effects

  1. Rebuilt pages regain positions in 2 to 6 weeks, where new content takes 8 to 12. That gap is the reason for the refresh-to-creation ratio we chose.
  2. The site is in active recovery on its main local query, worth 1,800 searches a month.

What it proves. The method works in repair, not only in construction. And a practice does not need the budget of a dental group to apply it: it needs consistency and method.

The AI citation scoreboard we can stand behind

Pages cited inside ChatGPT

Countries where our English pages are cited, zero translations

The context

On 30 August 2026 we re-pulled Ahrefs Brand Radar and Site Explorer. Across the whole US dental report, institutions still dominate. On the commercial questions we actually target — braces cost, Invisalign cost — our pages are the ones the engines cite first.

The result

We do not out-cite the ADA across all US dental topics. We do lead specific slices: braces questions (our cost guide, 51 AI answers) and Invisalign questions (our cost page, 21). Site Explorer shows 1,030 all-platform citations to dental-area.com and 398 inside ChatGPT, across 38 countries.

The method, in plain terms

  1. Price content first: precise, dated, segmented ranges. When an AI is asked a price it cannot improvise a number — it must cite. On braces questions our cost guide gathers 51 AI answers; on Invisalign questions, 21.
  2. Direct answer structure and marked-up FAQs on every page, so the engines have something liftable to quote.
  3. Several editorial assets pushed independently on the same topic: on orthodontic wax our two sites hold the top two cited sources and appear together in 18 co-citations.
  4. An anti-regression protocol: a cited page is only ever enriched, never rewritten, with citation checks three weeks after every edit.

What it proves. AI visibility is not declared, it is engineered — and it is measurable, page by page, platform by platform. A media built from zero can out-cite the official institutions of its market on both sides of the Atlantic. That is the exact method we sell.

Verifiability

These figures come from independent measurement tools (Ahrefs) and are dated August 2026. In a meeting we show the dashboards live, positions and citations included. No polished screenshots: the data, on screen, on the day.

Every number published anywhere on this site traces back to one of these measurements. When we have no first-party data on a subject, we say so rather than borrow someone else's statistic.
