Why Written Case Studies Win AI Search Citations (B2B, 2026)

Ask ChatGPT whether a lead generation agency is worth the money, or ask Perplexity to compare two providers, and watch what the answer leans on. It isn't homepage promises — it's proof: reviews, comparisons, and case studies where a named business says what actually happened. If your best client results live only inside a video nobody transcribed, the engines answering your buyers' questions can't quote a word of it.

What this covers

  • The data: proof content dominates evaluative queries
  • Why named-customer proof pages punch above their weight
  • Written case study vs video-only vs generic testimonials
  • How we built ours: filmed interview to cited page
  • Where case studies sit in a wider AEO strategy
  • Frequently asked questions

This is a technical summary. The full guide — with the data, tables and worked examples — is on our site: *Why Written Case Studies Win AI Search Citations (B2B, 2026)*.
