Alchemy needed a way to track and shape how their blockchain development platform appeared in AI-generated answers. Learn how they partnered with Mentionly to build an GEO strategy that drives a 7x higher signup rate than other inbound channels.
“Developers increasingly begin their research in Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Mentionly enables us to track where we win in those conversations, and where to push next.”

Alchemy is the leading developer platform for crypto, powering blockchain applications for builders at every scale, from solo developers to companies like Robinhood, Stripe, Visa, Coinbase, and Polymarket. Their product suite spans blockchain infrastructure, data APIs, and transaction tooling across 100+ chains. As agentic applications increasingly run on top of crypto rails, Alchemy is building the infrastructure and tooling these applications depend on.
Max Crawford, Growth Marketing Manager at Alchemy, was increasingly seeing blockchain developers turn to AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to build crypto applications. It was a clear signal that LLMs could become a key inbound driver for the company. To capture the full potential of this high-conversion channel, however, required AI visibility insights.
“AI-referred traffic to Alchemy was climbing every quarter. We needed to get ahead of that channel rather than chase it.”

With Alchemy’s dozens of tools and new ones shipping constantly, mapping LLM performance was no small task. Unlike web traffic, where a homepage serves as a reliable proxy for brand awareness, AI tools link developers to the pages that answer their questions, such as docs, blog posts, and product pages. Max needed to understand how each product showed up in AI-generated responses across Alchemy’s entire content surface, and where to sharpen its positioning to win qualified leads.
He knew that building an GEO practice from scratch would depend on sustained focus and deep expertise. But that level of commitment would have quickly consumed his team’s bandwidth. Instead, Max looked for a partner who could deliver both the technology and the playbook.
Max outlined three criteria to guide his evaluation:
Mentionly checked every box. After demoing the platform, Max knew he’d found his answer.
“Most GEO tools are still figuring out what they need to measure. Mentionly is already three steps ahead.”

Once Mentionly was live, Max had a clear picture of Alchemy’s performance across LLMs. With that clarity, he started mapping where to take the content strategy next.
Max uses Mentionly to track the questions developers are asking LLMs and how often Alchemy comes up. To surface an AI visibility profile for each Alchemy tool, he tags each prompt by product and filters the data by tag. Using that view alongside Alchemy’s SEO data, he and his team prioritize what content to write and update each month.
For example, when developers search “how to build a stablecoin,” Alchemy’s blog surfaces a detailed walkthrough. Similarly, when a developer prompts an AI Agent to “build a trading bot on Solana,” Max uses Mentionly’s analytics to double down on the posts and tutorials that those models repeatedly cite for similar queries.
“Mentionly’s AI visibility insights help shape our entire content roadmap.”

Drawing on Mentionly’s GEO expertise, Max structures Alchemy’s content for effective LLM crawling. For every asset, he layers question-format subheaders, FAQ schemas, and digestible snippets. This formatting makes technical concepts easier for LLMs and human readers to parse, boosting engagement and AI visibility.
With this foundation in place, Max looked to scale the value across Alchemy’s library using Mentionly’s Agents. When he wanted to roll out FAQ sections across older Alchemy posts, his Agents handled the entire process in just a few hours, generating an instant lift in AI visibility and creating a repeatable pattern for future content. With execution taken care of, he stays focused on what to build next.
“Mentionly tells us which tactics move AI visibility, and we roll them out at scale. Some of our biggest GEO wins have been surprisingly simple, like FAQ sections and a cleaner content structure.”

Max also uses Mentionly to see which third-party sources are shaping AI responses for the prompts Alchemy wants to own: trade press, Wikipedia, and other reference sites. These insights inform which publications are worth pursuing to compound Alchemy’s AI authority over time.
“The sources that influence AI answers and the ones that drive traffic are rarely the same. Mentionly tells us which is which.”

With Mentionly, Alchemy has built an GEO engine that turns AI visibility into a measurable growth driver across its product suite. Alchemy now shows up at every step of a developer’s journey, earning trust and converting developers looking to start building.
The numbers reflect this momentum:
Alchemy is building its content strategy for a future where AI Agents research, evaluate, and build solutions for developers. In that world, AI Agents don’t just drive discovery; they own the entire customer journey from first touch to purchase. To win that market and stay ahead of the shift, Max and his team will keep leaning on Mentionly’s platform and strategic support to ensure Alchemy is the default choice for agents building onchain.
“The Mentionly team always replies quickly to my questions. In a year where GEO is changing week to week, that responsiveness is the difference between staying ahead and falling behind.”
