ColdIQ, a B2B outbound agency with $7M ARR, generated $506K from SEO + AI search in just 4 months. Key moves: they audited thousands of programmatic pages that were blocked from indexing (noindex tags, broken canonicals), found each page targeted a distinct intent, then removed blockers and switched to self-referencing canonicals — instantly opening existing content to Google and Bing instead of building new pages. They also treated Bing indexing as strategic, since it feeds AI search engines; a screenshot shows ChatGPT recommending ColdIQ as a top AI-powered B2B outbound agency, citing its reported results ($3M pipeline for AirOps, 58 demos in 14 days for Design Pickle).
