From GEO results to revenue, without overstating it
A marketing lead should be able to explain flowgen to a CEO in one page. This is that page: which numbers move first, which move later, and how to tell a real effect from a coincidence.
The metrics ladder
GEO moves numbers in order. The AI Search metrics move first, site metrics follow, business metrics last.
Expecting revenue to move in week one is the most common way to misjudge the work.

Association is not proof
An increase that follows a GEO action is evidence of association, not automatic proof of causation. Seasonality, campaigns, press and platform changes move the same numbers. flowgen Performance helps you judge by showing the sequence, by comparing questions you acted on with questions you did not, and by dating every action. It does not claim credit on your behalf.
How flowgen Performance helps you judge
Same questions, two dates
Before and after use identical questions, platforms and sampling, so the comparison is like for like.
Acted versus untouched
Questions you did not act on serve as a comparison. If both groups moved together, the cause is probably not your action.
Dated actions on the trend line
Every publication and correction is marked on the chart, so a change can be read against the action that preceded it.
A simple model to fill in
Illustrative example with demo data. Replace each figure with your own before showing it to anyone.
Multiply enquiries by your close rate and average deal size for a pipeline estimate. Label it estimated, and keep the untouched-question comparison next to it.
