Case Study (2026 Refresh): How Quorumly Increased AI Visibility with Abhord
Company snapshot
- Name: Quorumly (fictional)
- Product: B2B SaaS for third‑party risk and vendor security due diligence
- ICP: Mid‑market fintech and SaaS companies (50–1,000 employees)
- Sales motion: Inbound + SDR‑assisted, content‑driven
1) Initial problem
By July 2025, Quorumly noticed that large language models rarely mentioned them in answer boxes for prompts like:
- “Best vendor risk platforms for SOC 2 prep”
- “Alternatives to [competitor] for TPRM”
- “What is Quorumly?”
When mentioned, LLMs often confused Quorumly with a similarly named HR tool, misattributed pricing, or claimed the product lacked ISO 27001 mappings (it had them). Internally, sales reported 1 in 3 prospects who “asked an AI” arrived with misconceptions that extended discovery by a full call.
2) What Abhord’s analysis uncovered
Using Abhord’s GEO/AEO suite—Entity Auditor, Answer Coverage Map, and LLM Testbench—the team found four root causes:
1) Fragmented entity signals
- Company described inconsistently across the site, G2/Capterra, partner pages, and press. Names alternated between “Quorumly,” “Quorum.ly,” and “Quorumly Security.”
- Conflicting headcount, HQ, and funding data across profiles created low‑trust signals.
2) Sparse machine‑readable context
- Minimal Organization and SoftwareApplication schema; no product‑level feature graph.
- No structured feed for model retrievers (no changelog endpoint, no FAQs in a crawl‑friendly format, and no canonical claims file).
3) Thin comparison and disambiguation content
- No model‑readable competitor comparisons or “Quorumly vs. [Competitor]” pages.
- No disambiguation page clarifying Quorumly (TPRM) vs. a look‑alike HR startup.
4) Distribution gaps across high‑leverage nodes
- Outdated marketplace listings and partner pages.
- Docs and GitHub examples lacked entity‑first language and citations, reducing their usefulness as LLM grounding sources.
Abhord quantified the baseline across five models (GPT‑class, Claude‑class, Gemini‑class, Copilot, Perplexity‑style):
- Correct brand mention in top 3 suggestions: 22%
- Attribute accuracy on five “must‑know” facts (what it does, key frameworks, integrations, deployment, pricing model): 46%
- Average lag from publishing a product update to first correct model reflection: 41 days
- Pipeline influenced by “AI‑assisted” discovery (self‑reported in forms): 3.2%
3) The optimization strategy
Quorumly executed a 12‑week GEO roadmap with Abhord:
1) Canonicalize the entity
- Standardized naming and NAP (name, address, phone) across all owned and third‑party profiles.
- Published Organization, Product, and SoftwareApplication schema with explicit disambiguation and sameAs links (site, docs, reviews, partner pages).
- Created a public, versioned “/llm/claims.json” file enumerating canonical
