Celorly

Hello IH. First post here, so a proper introduction with the numbers attached, including the ones that do not look good.

I build Celorly, goal-setting software for teams of five to fifty. Solo, self funded, no investors. The premise is narrow on purpose: most small teams set goals once, then never reopen the file, and every tool that fixes that assumes a company with someone whose job is planning. A twelve-person company has no such person.

Where it actually stands after two months of publishing:

37 articles and a free course. 4,854 impressions in Google last month, up from 1,201. Four clicks. Average position 72, which is page seven. Twelve sessions on the whole site in thirty days, and I am fairly sure nine of those were me. Zero paying customers. Zero registered users from outside.

So on the metric that matters, nothing is working yet, and I would rather write that down than dress it up.

Then I opened the AI Performance report in Bing Webmaster Tools, which I did not know existed until three weeks ago, and found one page of mine had been cited 2,074 times in AI answers in August. Not shown. Cited as a source inside answers. On some queries we are a third of all citations. The same page has nine impressions in Google and sits at position 48.

The uncomfortable follow-up: those 2,074 citations produced one measurable session. And that page did not mention my product's name once, anywhere in the copy. Thousands of people were reading my sentences with nothing attached to them.

I fixed the name part this week. What I cannot work out is the rest of it.

So the question I actually came here to ask: has anyone turned AI citations into anything measurable? Not impressions, not vanity counts. A signup, a session you could attribute, a single person who said they found you that way. I have a channel that clearly reaches people and produces almost nothing, and I do not know yet whether that is a distribution problem, a patience problem, or a channel that simply does not convert.
