AI ranking engine movement, screenshotted

The AI ranking engine turns the before shot into the after.

Every pair below is two untouched captures from the same real device asking the same question weeks apart. The evidence register contains 292 pixel-rank verified movement stories, with a 14 days median movement window across the verified gate. This is what the lift looks like, not a ranking guarantee.

Why several pairs share the same two dates:the fleet re-captures whole markets on a fixed schedule rather than one business at a time, so every client measured in a given sweep carries that sweep’s before and after date. The pairs below are drawn from several different sweeps between April and June 2026, with windows of 14 and 28 days.

Evidence Register

Proof ships only after the receipt survives inspection.

We do not publish a movement claim unless the before and after screenshots visibly match the claimed ranks, the story is allocated to CitedLogic, and the public page is deduped by business. If the receipt contradicts the claim, it stays out of public proof.

How to read this page

Ranks are read from the capture pixels — every published pair passes a verification gate that compares the rank stamp inside the screenshot itself to the claim. Dates come from the capture records. Nothing is retyped.
The verdicts are the engine’s own words, quoted verbatim from the AFTER capture — including why it ranks the business where it does.
Same device, same query, same market— the only variable between BEFORE and AFTER is the work.
Delivered by our group’s fleet. CitedLogic runs on the parent company’s device fleet and GEO workflow; these climbs were measured and delivered on that shared engine.

Your markets are next.

The AI Ranking + Reputation Defense Baseline maps where each location ranks today across each priority category and what AI says about it - the “before” shot. Then the AI Ranking Program ships the weighted plan and re-runs the same prompts in 14-30 days.
