WEISAN — 60.61% prompt mention rate and 20.11% owned-domain links across 231 industrial B2B queries

• Tracked 231 non-branded industrial B2B prompts across 920 total AI responses (October 2026 Hermes snapshot).
• Achieved a 60.61% prompt mention rate (140 of 231 prompts) and 41.52% overall answer visibility (382 of 920 answers).
• Reached a 20.11% owned-domain link rate (185 AI answers link directly to the client's website) at an average citation rank of 1.29.
• Industrial specification tables, capacity calculators, and TCO comparisons displaced generic equipment directories in bottom-of-funnel procurement prompts.

Procurement engineers and plant directors researching industrial shredders, crushing lines, and recycling equipment do not buy from generic marketing copy — they ask AI engines specific questions about throughput (tons per hour), rotor geometry, power consumption, and spare-parts lead times.

Before structured AEO/GEO execution, AI engines defaulted to equipment classifieds because manufacturer pages lacked extractable specification tables and direct cost-of-ownership comparisons.

1. Mapped 231 engineering and procurement queries. In Hermes Visibility, we segmented industrial buyer prompts by material type, throughput capacity, and decision stage (vendor comparison, commissioning, maintenance, and TCO).
2. Published specification-dense engineering guides. Using ContentOS, we shipped structured comparison tables, rotor/blade selection matrices, and commissioning checklists that answer engines extract verbatim.
3. Structured technical product entities. Through Website Agentic Optimization, we exposed machine specifications and FAQ blocks in clean HTML tables and Schema.org markup.

1. One in five AI answers links directly to the manufacturer's domain. A 20.11% owned-domain link rate (185 cited links) with an average rank of 1.29 means procurement teams see the manufacturer as the #1 primary source.
2. Engineering tables beat directory listings. When a vendor publishes verifiable throughput and TCO tables, LLMs prefer the manufacturer's page over third-party aggregators.
