What they came in with.
Feeding Trends had seven years of compounding domain authority (DA 65, 14M lifetime sessions, 2.3K indexed essays) but was being commoditized by AI-generated content farms scraping its structure. The moat was eroding faster than traffic was growing.
How we worked it.
- 01
Repositioned the editorial mission from "publishing" to "verifiable human authority" — the proof-of-humanity layer.
- 02
Implemented author schema, contributor verification, and citation-friendly passage structures across the top 500 essays.
- 03
Built an AEO/GEO content pipeline targeting questions that LLMs are most likely to surface to mid-funnel buyers.
- 04
Created an internal linking topology that compounds across the seven-year archive instead of treating each essay as standalone.
What it earned.
AI engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT) now cite Feeding Trends content at a measurable rate. Domain authority held flat through the AI content collapse that hit competitors. Editorial pipeline is now the foundation for Cheetah AGI's GEO/AEO consulting practice.
