Webflow ($4B valuation) shared the AEO workflow behind a 485% QoQ jump in AI-referred template-page signups:
- Made existing pages more useful: identified 1,500 template pages to optimize, adding top-of-page copy explaining who each template serves
- Answered specific questions: beyond "best CMS," tailored answers to particular teams and integrations; share of voice improved for 70% of tested questions after three weeks
- Made answers easier to find: added tables of contents, rewrote headings as questions, validated against control pages
- Joined relevant Reddit conversations: monitored priority-query threads and contributed transparent, helpful responses
A replicable playbook for AI-search optimization and growth.
