How Click Elevate Works — End to End

The Big Picture

Click Elevate is a done-for-you AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) service. We handle every technical and content task needed to get your business cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. You run your business — we make sure AI recommends it.

Step 1 — You Sign Up and Complete Onboarding

After subscribing, you receive access to your client portal and a short onboarding form. The form collects your business details, services, competitors, target keywords, and brand voice. This information is the foundation of every deliverable we create for you. The more detail you provide, the better the output.

Onboarding takes about 20 minutes. We cannot begin work until it is submitted, so completing it promptly is the single most important thing you can do in Month 1.

Step 2 — We Run Your Baseline AEO Audit

Once onboarding is complete, our system runs a full AEO audit of your website. This crawls your actual HTML, checks your schema markup, measures your citation footprint, and scores your E-E-A-T signals. The result is your baseline score — the number we measure all future improvement against.

You will see this score in your portal dashboard. It is normal for baseline scores to be low (20–45 range) — that is exactly why you are here.

Step 3 — We Build Your Foundation (Month 1)

In the first month, we focus on the highest-impact foundational work:

• Schema markup — we write and implement LocalBusiness, FAQPage, and Service schema on your website
• Citation submissions — we submit your business to the top directories (50 on Starter, 100 on Growth, 250 on Authority)
• GBP optimization — we audit and optimize your Google Business Profile
• Technical fixes — robots.txt, sitemap, page speed recommendations, llms.txt
• Prompt Targeting — we generate your first list of AI search queries to target

All work appears as deliverables in your portal. You can review and approve each item before it goes live.

Step 4 — Monthly Delivery Cycle

Every month after Month 1 follows the same rhythm:

1. New deliverables published on the 1st — your monthly content pieces, community authority posts, and Reddit posts (Growth/Authority)
2. Prompt tests run — we test your selected prompts across all AI platforms and update your citation scores
3. Progress report — your updated AEO score, citation rate, and Share of Voice
4. Strategy call (Growth and Authority) — 30-minute review of results and next month's priorities

Step 5 — You Approve Deliverables

Every piece of content, schema block, and citation we create appears in your Deliverables tab with a status of "Waiting for Approval." You review it, and either approve it or request changes with a note. We implement revisions within 48 hours.

Step 6 — Results Build Over Time

AEO results compound. Month 1 lays the foundation. Month 2 builds authority. By Month 3, most clients see their first consistent AI citations. By Month 6, clients on Growth and Authority plans typically achieve dominant visibility in their local market.

Your dashboard tracks every metric — AEO score, citation rate by platform, Share of Voice, and score history — so you always know exactly where you stand.
