Case Study

How Joveo Became the Leading AI-Cited Source for GEO & AEO in Recruitment

From 0% visibility to industry leader in under 30 days using the Blueprint Framework.

Executive Summary

Joveo, a global leader in programmatic recruitment marketing, approached Penpixel Creative seeking clarity on one question:

“How visible are we inside AI-generated search answers?”

They suspected they were being overshadowed by competitors — and they were right.

Penpixel delivered a Blueprint-level AI-Search Readiness Audit, followed by two months of hands-on consulting. Within weeks of implementing just one structured pillar page, Joveo went from 0% visibility to being one of the most consistently cited brands across major AI tools for the topic “GEO and AEO for Recruitment.”

This is the first measurable proof that Penpixel’s AI-Search Readiness methodology delivers rapid, defensible wins.

The Challenge

Before working with Penpixel, Joveo faced a fragmented landscape. Despite their market leadership, they had:

  • Fragmented, inconsistent content across legacy pages.
  • Low topical clarity, causing LLMs to ignore their expertise.
  • Competitor dominance, with Appcast and Radancy owning the visibility.
  • No citations in AI-generated answers for key industry terms.

Joveo needed to understand where they stood, how AI tools perceived them, and what structural changes were needed. The baseline was clear: Their SOV across 8 major AI tools was near zero.

The Penpixel Approach

Joveo purchased the Blueprint Audit. Penpixel partnered with Joveo’s content team to operationalize a new AI-first content structure, which included:

1. Structured Pillar Template

  • Top-loaded summaries
  • Precise definitions
  • Tight topical boundaries
  • Chunked, scannable sections

2. Brand Credibility (EEAT)

  • Credible source trails
  • Author-relevance cues
  • Supporting citations
  • Internal reference frameworks

3. Schema Strategy

  • Page-level schema
  • Definition schema
  • Structured content models

4. Strategic Positioning

  • Differentiation from incumbents
  • Claiming emerging terms early
  • Aligning with AI comprehension

Note: Penpixel delivered the frameworks, and Joveo’s team executed the content—proving that Penpixel’s systems scale without heavy outsourcing.

Implementation

Using Penpixel’s structured content model, Joveo produced a fully restructured GEO/AEO guide. They implemented every major component of our framework.

The page was reviewed by Penpixel, and Joveo published shortly after. Three weeks later, AI tools began citing it.

From 0% visibility to industry leader — in under one month.

Why This Case Matters

This is the new playbook: Brands win when they produce structured, authoritative, consistent content that AI tools can parse and trust.

If a single pillar page can deliver this kind of AI visibility in under a month, imagine what an organization can achieve with a full library of structured content.
