Six months of authority work, measured in Search Console

TERAMOK has run search visibility for a Chicago real estate development company for six months, with a strategy built on authority rather than keyword tricks: in-depth SEO on a rebuilt website, entity structure, and content engineered to be retrieved by Google and by Gemini's AI answers. The client's name is withheld, and we say that plainly rather than invent a substitute. The screenshot below is the property's Google Search Console, last-90-days view, captured August 31, 2026, published unedited.


Google Search Console screenshot for a Chicago real estate developer, last 90 days: 480 clicks up 103 percent, 33.1K impressions up 693 percent.

What the numbers say

  • Impressions: 33.1K, up 693 percent. Visibility is the leading indicator: Google is showing the developer for nearly eight times the searches it did a quarter ago, which is what authority-building looks like before it converts.

  • Clicks: 480, up 103 percent. Doubled, and climbing behind the impressions curve, as rankings that first appear on page two work their way into clickable positions.

The gap between those two growth rates is normal and worth understanding: impressions always move first, clicks follow as positions improve. A developer evaluating SEO work at the 90-day mark should demand exactly this shape, visibility compounding ahead of traffic, and be suspicious of any agency promising the reverse.

Why Gemini is in the strategy

The engagement optimizes for two readers at once: Google's ranking systems and the AI answer layer, including Gemini and Google's AI Overviews, which increasingly decide which companies get named when buyers and partners ask questions. The work is the same discipline we run for ourselves, documented in our AI search practice, where our own agency is named in a 2026 Google AI Overview. Authority built once serves both.

For Chicago developers weighing this work: the market context lives in our Chicago Development Pipeline Monitor, the presale reference case is the 22-of-48 West Loop campaign, and pricing is published at teramok.us/pricing. Book a strategy call.
