The problem

1 Week Sites started from nothing: no positioning, no site and no search presence.

What I did
  1. 01Set the ideal customer, brand, offer and site structure
  2. 02Built the first site in a week with Next.js, Tailwind and TypeScript (it has since moved to Astro)
  3. 03Used DataForSEO and Claude to plan search content and programmatic SEO pages
  4. 04Spent roughly 30 days optimising for search and AI answers
The result
Search impressions

566

ChatGPT citations

1

In just under 30 days the site had 566 search impressions, and one 1 Week Sites article appeared as a ChatGPT citation.

Source First 30 days, reported by me. No clicks, enquiries or sales claimed for that period.

What this does and doesn't show

These are my own figures with no dated Search Console export, and there were no clicks, enquiries or sales claimed for that period. The citation was one result on one day; I haven’t shown that it repeats.
