Project Overview
IGROW MARKETING d.o.o. is iGrow's own Croatian company based in Mali Lošinj, founded in August 2025. New domain (igrow-marketing.hr), no SEO authority, no backlink profile, no brand awareness. Starting position: a single article with 33.3% AI visibility for a prompt.
Edin Cerimagic, Founder of iGrow, deliberately used the company as a testing lab to prove the same GEO framework live that iGrow uses for DACH clients. No ad budget. No sales. Just content strategy and method.
Kickoff was at the end of May 2026. In 7 days and 22 targeted articles later, iGrow Marketing was the most visible company in the Croatian agency market across all major AI engines — ahead of Arbona, Digital Matrix, Kala Presence, and every other competitor.
All data tracked via RankScale, our preferred AI Visibility Tool for every brand we work with.
The execution
01
Challenge
IGROW MARKETING d.o.o. had ~0% AI visibility for newly defined prompts. A single article achieved 33.3% visibility for one prompt. The domain was young, had no backlinks, and no organic presence. iGrow Croatia was completely invisible in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overview for all purchase-relevant decision-maker prompts.
02
Solution
We deployed the GEO Engine: 22 articles in under 30 days, specifically developed around the exact search intent prompts of Croatian decision-makers. Strategy: Bottom-of-Funnel first, Mid-Funnel next, Top-of-Funnel to follow. All articles configured with clean technical SEO — schema markup, clear internal linking, mobile-first, structured answer logic for AI systems.
03
Result
67.6% AI Visibility Score. 133 Brand Citations. 70.4% Share of Citations — up from 0%. Avg. Position 1.8 when found. Within 24 hours of publication: Top 1 positions in organic Google search and as the primary source in AI Overview. Next competitor: 9.0% Visibility Score.

WHY FUNNEL-FIRST WINS
Bottom-of-funnel prompts achieved 90.5%+ visibility (Google Ads: 100%, AI Search Optimizacija: 92.3%). General topics: 45.6%. The difference is the strategy: Those who capture prompts from decision-makers ready to buy win qualified visibility instead of vanity traffic.
Most companies hold back on comparison and positioning content because they don't want to name competitors. In B2B and AI search, this is the most expensive mistake. Comparison queries generate 90.5% visibility. General terms: 61.3%. The data is clear.
THE CONCLUSION
Buyers research providers in AI before they ever visit a website. Before they fill out a form. Before sales gets a chance. If AI cannot explain you, you are not in the consideration set.
This case study proves: AI visibility is not a future problem. It is happening now — on a new domain, in a new market, in 7 days. The gap between visible and invisible brands is growing every week.
All data captured and provided via RankScale — our preferred AI visibility tool for every brand we work with. If you cannot measure AI visibility, you cannot own it either.
