Define a pre-change prompt panel and conversion baseline, then log the exact pages modified and dates. Track citations and mentions alongside detectable referral sessions, branded search, assisted conversions, and form submissions. Use tagged links where you control placements but do not assume AI systems always pass reliable referral data. Compare similar unchanged pages or markets when practical and note seasonality or concurrent campaigns. Present a chain of evidence rather than declaring that every new lead came from GEO.
