Today we'd like to share a review from one of our customers. His story wasn't an easy one.
Hi everyone,
My name is Jerry Morgan, CEO of Village Tech.
I'd like to share my experience with VisRank in the hope that it helps other business owners facing similar challenges.
I've been running my company since 2010, right in the middle of the financial crisis. We manufacture equipment for industrial businesses. Back then, our website generated solid organic traffic, and Google Ads consistently brought us new customers.
As the years went by, things became more difficult. Rising costs forced us to reduce our advertising budget, and our website traffic started to decline. We still had loyal customers, but it wasn't enough to keep growing.
Things began to recover around 2018, but then COVID hit in 2021. Between 2023 and 2025, we had lost nearly 80% of our online market. It became obvious that something had to change.
I spent months reading about SEO and trying to understand why our website was no longer performing. That's when I realized that people were no longer searching the way they used to. More and more customers were asking AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others for recommendations instead of using traditional search engines.
While researching this topic, I came across several articles about AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) on the VisRank blog. It completely changed the way I looked at online visibility.
I realized our company simply wasn't prepared for the AI era.
I contacted the VisRank team to understand where to begin. They explained what needed to be improved, and I purchased their Monitoring subscription. Using their tool, we started fixing the issues found across our website and continued monitoring everything as we made changes.
By June 2026, we started seeing a noticeable increase in website traffic. Our analytics showed that a growing percentage of visitors were coming from ChatGPT and other AI platforms rather than traditional search engines.
I'd like to thank the entire VisRank team for their support and guidance.
I hope my experience helps other business owners who are still relying only on traditional SEO. The way people discover businesses is changing, and AI is becoming a major part of that journey. If your business isn't ready for it yet, now is the time to start preparing.
