The proof, in Google itself

Anyone can promise rankings. Few can show them. What follows is what real licheo customers look like inside the live results: first-page placements, citations in the AI answers, hundreds of AI citations. Every screenshot shows only what is genuinely there — nothing is invented, and no number is estimated.

When someone asks Google’s Gemini for a sports physiotherapist in North Vancouver, Medstar is the very first clinic it puts forward — named, described, and recommended ahead of every competitor. This is the new frontier of being found: not a blue link, but a direct recommendation from the AI itself.

The rankings above are the visible part. Here is what happened to the traffic.

A screenshot proves one search on one day. It does not prove a business got more customers. So here is every website in this set, measured from the month we started on it through to July 2026, straight from each customer’s own Google Search Console account. These are working accounts, so they are described by industry and region only.

  • 10 of 10 websites grew — this is the whole set, not a selected sample
  • 8,170 visits from Google search in July 2026, up from 5,651 the month before (+44.6%)
  • 214 articles published in that one month, with 132 more written and scheduled

Getting found is only half of it: shown 5% more often, visited 46% more often

From June 2026 to July 2026, one customer (real estate agency, vancouver) was shown in Google only +5.3% more often, yet visits grew +45.9%. The growth did not come from being shown more. It came from being chosen more. We rewrote the Google titles of 28 pages, made 42 pages visible to Google for the first time, and removed 26 weak or repeated pages. The share of people who saw the site and clicked went from 0.87% to 1.21%.

Why these customers are not named. These are working numbers from live accounts, so each business is described by industry and region only. Named results, with screenshots you can check in Google yourself, are shown separately.

How the starting point is chosen. When a website already had traffic before us, we use the average month across the whole period before we started, not their worst month. When the website was new, we use its first complete month. A partial month is never used as a starting point.

What this does not show. Visits from Google are not sales. Some of these businesses sell in person, so the website brings people in rather than taking the payment. This set is a part of our customers, not all of them.
