The Proof Is In The Data
20 beta partners. 6-12 months. 45-100% growth in visibility across traditional search, AI citations, and voice search. Zero manipulation. Pure transparency.
Built on 15 Years of Search Evolution
Before testing ASO with beta partners, we analyzed 135,000 quarterly snapshots across 2,250 businesses from 2008-2024 to understand what actually drives visibility in the AI era.
What We Discovered
Testing the Methodology: Private Beta Partners
We don't believe in selling promises. We believe in proving results first. Before commercializing ASO, we recruited 20 beta partners to validate the methodology across different industries.

Every single beta partner showed measurable improvement. Not one failed to progress at least one full stage. This wasn't luck — this was systematic methodology working across different industries, markets, and business models.
What We Learned from Beta Partners
Progression Timeline
- •Stage 1→2: 1-2 months on average — getting initial AI citations is achievable quickly
- •Stage 2→3: 3-5 months — building consistent dual presence requires content architecture
- •Stage 3→4: 4-6 months — achieving AI-native status needs comprehensive intent coverage
Critical Success Factors
- Content freshness matters more than volume — weekly updates outperformed monthly new content
- Hub-spoke architecture is non-negotiable — businesses with topic clusters progressed 2.3x faster
- Collective intelligence created network effects — partners sharing insights improved each other's results
What Beta Partners Said
"We were ranking #1 for our main keywords but traffic was declining. ASO showed us we needed to be the answer, not just a link. Six months later, we're cited in AI Overviews 10x more than before, and our qualified leads increased 180%."
— Sarah M., Real Estate Agency Owner
"Traditional SEO agencies wanted $8K/month and couldn't explain why AI Overviews weren't sending us traffic. Thalamus AI's transparency and data-driven approach gave us confidence we were optimizing for what actually matters now."
— David L., SaaS Founder
"Being part of the beta program meant we got to see the methodology evolve in real-time. The transparency was refreshing — they shared what worked, what didn't, and adjusted based on collective data. It felt like partnership, not vendor relationship."
— Jennifer K., Healthcare Practice Owner
