How quickly can I expect to see results?

It depends on the scope of your site, the changes you implement, and how quickly AI models refresh their training or retrieval indexes—but many of our clients begin to see significantly increased visibility within 1–2 months of working with Captiva.

Unlike traditional SEO, which often takes 6+ months to move the needle, LLMs update faster and respond immediately to structured, clear, and consistent information. In some cases, we’ve seen brands go from zero visibility to appearing in live AI responses in under 7 days.

That said, we treat this like any strategy: long-term compounding value. Captiva doesn’t just give you analytics—we monitor your progress, benchmark you against competitors, and help you stay discoverable as models and algorithms evolve.

We also provide live prompt tests, visibility trend reports, and alerts when your brand is mentioned (or omitted) by name in AI outputs—so you always know how you're doing.
