# [90% More AI Citations in One Week: How a Financial Data Leader Optimized for AI Search Visibility](https://www.seoclarity.net/blog/case-study/increase-in-ai-citations-in-one-week-for-financial-data-leader/)

In the rush to adopt new technologies, it is easy to forget that AI search engines still rely on high-quality content signals. Here is how a major financial data provider nearly doubled its AI citations by refining core SEO elements.

## Challenge: Visibility for High-Traffic Profile Pages 

The brand's highest-traffic section was underperforming. Many pages relied on single-word titles and templated meta descriptions, leading to poor visibility in both traditional and AI search results compared to competitors.

## Solution: Rapid Optimization and Deployment With SEO Split Tester

The team used [**SEO Split Tester**](https://www.seoclarity.net/seo-automation/seo-split-testing-tool) for the rapid deployment of high-quality, custom SEO elements.

- **Element Optimization**: Created custom titles, H1s, and meta descriptions for high-value profile pages
- **Rapid Deployment**: Bypassed long engineering queues to go live with changes in days rather than months
- **Success Measurement**: Monitored AI Overview (AIO) citations and traditional traffic metrics over several weeks

- **90% Increase in AIO Citations**: Presence in AI search results nearly doubled within one week of launch
- **Increased Organic Visibility**: Achieved a 32% increase in impressions and a 4% increase in clicks
- **Strategic Expansion**: The success paved the way for a sitewide rollout of dynamic schema, including breadcrumbs and video objects
