Citation-ready answer

AI Growth Bench is a public portfolio lab that shows how AI-assisted growth work can be planned, published, measured, and improved. The site combines two operating tracks: a trend-to-content pipeline for discovering keywords, scoring opportunities, generating programmatic SEO page briefs, publishing experiments, and tracking index readiness; and a GEO visibility bench for testing whether pages are structured clearly enough for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and Google AI Overview style answers. It does not sell a product or claim guaranteed rankings. It documents a repeatable workflow, the current evidence, open risks, and next tests so remote teams or hiring managers can evaluate practical execution. The strongest proof points are the public system map, experiment pages, weekly reports, evidence log, llms.txt files, robots.txt crawler policy, and the Search Console evidence slots reserved for verified indexing data.
