Case Studies

Businesses that stopped paying for the same customers twice.

Different industries, same result every time. The Authority Engine builds the foundation, the AI engines start naming them, and the cost to win a new customer drops through the floor.

Med Spa & Aesthetics · Dallas Fort Worth

The business that cut spend 78% and grew

$41K → $9K
Monthly ad spend, with more won customers
The situation

Six figures a quarter went to “botox near me” clicks. Pause the campaigns for a week and the phones went silent. Nothing the business had built belonged to it.

What Attrio built

Entity verification and disambiguation from three similarly named clinics, a full treatment and service area content architecture, review and result schema across every procedure, and AEO answer blocks for the questions patients actually ask before booking.

HVAC & Home Services · Phoenix

The business the city calls first

0 → 71%
AI answer share in seven months
The situation

The business was pouring $18,000 a month into paid search while clients asked ChatGPT about their charges at 2 a.m. and got directory listings. The business didn't appear in a single AI answer across its own city.

What Attrio built

Service level content for every treatment the business offers, structured for extraction. Technician certifications and licensing wired into the knowledge graph so engines could verify who was answering.

Dental & Ortho · Chicago

The bookings that stopped costing $3,400

$3,400 → $186
Cost per won booking
The situation

Prospects researched for six weeks before calling, but $26,000 a month bought visibility only at the very last click, the most expensive possible moment.

What Attrio built

A full topical rebuild across implants, orthodontics, cosmetic and general care, with authored provider guidance at every stage of the journey rather than only the bottom of it.

Immigration Services · Houston

Cited in three languages

11 → 148
Organic consultations per month
The situation

Vast, constantly shifting subject matter and a multilingual audience that lived inside AI answers. Its English only pages were invisible to most of the families it served.

What Attrio built

Multilingual AEO across visa categories, forms and procedures, with structured data mapping every service to eligibility criteria, maintained against policy changes.

Wealth Advisory · Naples, FL

The advisor that never bought a click

$0
Lifetime ad spend
The situation

A quiet, trust driven market where the competition was thin but so was the business's visibility. Referrals were strong; search produced nothing.

What Attrio built

Authoritative guidance content built to compound, provider entity credibility engines could verify, and local plus specialty authority designed to outlast any campaign.

Cosmetic Dentistry · Atlanta

Outranked, not outspent

5.2×
More won customers than the top bidder
The situation

Two national businesses were outbidding the business on every keyword in the metro. At $31,000 a month, competing on budget was a fight it could not win.

What Attrio built

Rather than bid higher, the business went around the auction, owning the organic and AI layer above the ads, where placement can't be purchased.

Multilocation Clinic · Denver + 4

Four dark markets, lit

4 of 5
Offices producing organically
The situation

One flagship office thrived on referrals. The other four were invisible despite $22,000 a month in shared spend: no local presence, no consistent identity, no attribution.

What Attrio built

Per location authority with consistent entity signals across all five offices, rollup reporting for the partners, and drill down attribution per market.

Roofing & Exteriors · Brooklyn

Ads off. Nothing happened.

0%
Lead volume lost during a 90 day pause
The situation

The managing partner didn't believe organic could carry the business. So we tested it: every paid campaign switched off for a full quarter.

What Attrio built

Nine months of foundation work first: entity, schema, topical depth and citation velocity, so the test had something to stand on.

Med Spa & Aesthetics · Los Angeles

The answer engine's default source

83%
Share of AI answers in its service line
The situation

Treatment questions are almost entirely research driven. Prospects ask AI which procedure fits before they ever call, and the engines answer directly, naming one clinic and rarely a second. The business was paying $11,000 a month to intercept those searches with ads.

What Attrio built

Deep coverage of injectables, laser treatments, body contouring and skincare, written as extractable answers with real provider credentials and results engines could verify.

Fourteen days to first light

14
Days from signature to live attribution
The situation

The business had been burned by an agency that took five months to produce a report. It needed proof of momentum before it would commit further.

What Attrio built

White glove onboarding: technical foundation and attribution live inside two weeks, with the authority build running continuously behind it.
