Sooo...AEO just became our biggest channel. Looks like we'll close $250k+ ARR this month, just from AI. I had no idea it could work this quick. @Tom Rayner keep doing what you're doing - you're crushing it dude.

Want to shoutout @Tom Rayner for the massive work he's put in on our content - we have a very large deal with that's progressing well through the funnel, who came in through our new "10 Best Assurance Software" article. The 11 minute gap between viewing that page and clicking to our homepage tells me that he likely read the piece, which helped him make a confident decision to book a demo. Exciting stuff!
