The Challenge
What Cortico Health was up against.
Cortico Health had a clean product and good content, but every major AI crawler was being blocked at the infrastructure level. They were effectively invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
The block had been in place for months. The team did not realize it until their AI visibility audit returned zero citations across every tracked prompt.
The Approach
How we attacked it.
We ran a tightly scoped IMPACT Sprint focused on unblocking AI crawlers and getting Cortico's existing content surfaced in answers as fast as possible.
- Crawler audit across ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended
- robots.txt and CDN rule changes to unblock AI engines
- Schema and entity reinforcement on flagship pages
- Prompt set built around clinical and operational queries
- Day-by-day citation tracking once crawlers regained access

“We had no idea we were locked out of AI search entirely. AEO Labs caught it in the audit and had us live in days.”
