When a client reaches a ranking milestone for the first time, Zeus saves it with a picture and the date. It's proof you can show the client and share in your own marketing. A win stays saved even if the ranking drops later.
What counts as a win
Zeus saves a win the first time each of these happens, once per keyword or question:
- Google map pack: the client is No. 1 or No. 2 in the map pack in a map scan, and then again the first time it's No. 1.
- Google search: the client is in the top 3 of Google's results in a rank check, and then again the first time it's No. 1.
- Assistants: one of the assistants AI Visibility asks, such as ChatGPT or Perplexity, names the client or lists the client's website as a source for one of its questions.
If a client reaches No. 1 straight away, Zeus saves only the No. 1 win. Wins come from the scans the client already has: Zeus map scans and your own map scans, rank checks, and AI Visibility checks. The client's current rankings count as wins the first time a scan sees them after Proof is turned on.
The pictures
- Google search: when a rank check finds a new win, Zeus searches Google once more for that keyword from the same place and saves that real results page. The client's result gets an outline and a "#1 on Google" (or "#2 on Google", "#3 on Google") label with an arrow, and a box in the empty space to the right of the results shows the search term (for example Search: "roof repair") so it can be read at a glance. The whole page is kept, nothing is cut off. Zeus only uses that page if it shows the client at the same level as the win (No. 1 for a No. 1 win, the top 3 for a top 3 win) and Google gave the result's position on the page. Otherwise Zeus recreates Google's results from the rank check that found the win: the keyword in Google's search box and the top results with each one's site name, address line, title and description, exactly as the check found them. Anything the check didn't record is left out, and no result is ever added. The client's result gets the outline and the "#N on Google" label. Wins saved before this change keep their screenshot, with the search term box added where there's room. They have no outline, because the rank check didn't record where the result sat on the page, and Zeus never guesses. Only a win with nothing saved to show gets a plain proof card.
- Google map pack: Google Maps itself can't be captured, so Zeus searches Google once from the spot on the map scan where the client ranked, and saves that results page with its map pack. The client's listing in the map pack always gets an outline and a "#1 in the map pack" label with an arrow, and a box above the map shows the search term (for example Search: "roof repair") so it can be read at a glance. The whole page is kept, nothing is cut off. If the map pack on that page doesn't show the client at that moment, Zeus recreates Google's local results from the map scan's own result at that spot instead: the keyword in Google's search box and a "Places" list with the client at the place it ranked and the businesses that ranked around it. Each listing shows its name, rating and review count, category and address, exactly as the scan found them. Anything the scan didn't record is left out, and no business is ever added. The client's listing gets the outline and a "#1 on Google Maps" label with an arrow. Beside the listings, like Google shows them, is a map of the area the map scan covered, centered on the scan's center with a blue dot there. The map has no business pins, because the scan doesn't record where each business sits on the map. The map comes from OpenStreetMap and says so in its corner. Like the assistant pictures, it has no notice, footer or branding. Only a win with no saved scan result gets a plain proof card.
- Assistants: there's no page to capture, so Zeus recreates the answer in a picture that looks like that assistant's own app, so you can tell at a glance which one it was. ChatGPT is white with its model picker and a gray message bubble. The other chat assistants get their own background, fonts, message bubble and mark beside the answer. Perplexity shows the question as a heading, its sources row and teal buttons. Google AI Mode looks like Google's results page with the AI answer and the source on the right. Your question shows as the message that was asked, and the saved answer shows below it, word for word. Long answers are trimmed to the sentence that names the client and a few sentences around it, with "…" where text was cut. That sentence gets an outline and a "Named by " label with an arrow. If the assistant only listed the client's website as a source, the outline goes around the website instead. The picture has no notice or footer, and no ContentForge or Zeus branding. If the answer wasn't saved, Zeus makes a plain proof card instead with the question, the assistant, the date, the sentence that names the client and the client's name and logo.
Screenshots and proof cards say under them what they are. The recreated assistant answers, map pack results and Google search results don't. A picture can take a few minutes to appear. If it can't be made, Zeus tries again up to 3 times. After the last try, a search win gets a proof card instead.
Credits
Saving wins and their pictures is part of the scans. It uses no credits, and routine rank checks cost nothing extra: the one extra Google search happens only when a new win is saved. Write a post is the only paid part, at the Social post pack price.
Where to find wins
- Content → Proof shows every client's wins. Filter by client, by kind (Google map pack, Google search, AI assistants) and by date: click Dates and pick a quick range (Last 7 days, Last 4 weeks, Last 3 months, This year, All time) or two days on the calendar, then Apply. The count on the right says how many wins match (for example "3 of 14 wins"), and Clear filters shows everything again. If nothing matches, the page says so and offers Show all time.
- Client → Zeus → Proof (the Proof tab next to Zeus on the client page) shows that client's wins, with the same Kind and Dates filters and no client picker.
- In the ContentForge app, open More → Proof. Tap Share picture to send it straight from the phone.
Click a win to see the picture full size, then click Download picture to save it.
How to have Zeus write a post about a win
- Open the win on Content → Proof.
- Click Write a post. Zeus writes a short post for Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn from your agency's point of view, congratulating the client.
- Pick a network and click Copy post, then post it with the picture.
Zeus uses only the facts of the win and follows your writing rules and banned words. The post is saved with the win, so you can come back to it. Write again writes a new one and uses credits again.
What the client sees
Each win is added to the client's work done, for example “Reached #1 in the Google map pack for ‘roof repair’”. It shows in the client portal, the client's phone app and the monthly email, like other work done. In the portal (the Overview, Reports → Work completed and a website's Performance page) the win has a See the proof link that opens the picture in a window in your branding, with the win, its date and Close. It never opens a new tab. In the client's phone app, See the proof opens the picture in a window inside the app. The monthly email lists the win without a link. The Show dates on work done setting applies. A win shows to the client only while the matching portal section is on: map pack wins need Google Map Pack rankings, search wins need Keyword rankings and assistant wins need AI visibility.
Examples
- A roofer reaches the top 3 on Google: a rank check finds the client at No. 2 for "roof repair". Proof saves Google's results page with the client's result outlined, "#2 on Google" beside it and the search term in a box. In the client portal, the work done item "Reached the top 3 on Google for ‘roof repair’" has See the proof, which opens that picture.
- A roofer reaches the map pack: the Zeus map scan finds the client at No. 2 for "roof repair". Proof saves Google's results page from that spot with the client's listing outlined in the map pack. If that page doesn't show the client right then, Proof saves Google's local results recreated from the scan, with the client outlined at No. 2. Two months later it reaches No. 1, and a second win is saved.
- A dentist named by an assistant: the AI Visibility check finds Perplexity recommending the practice for "Who is the best family dentist in Plano?". Proof saves a picture in Perplexity's style with that question, Perplexity's answer and the sentence naming the practice outlined with "Named by Perplexity".
