Our Methodology
Ready. Aim. Launch. Soar. Orbit.
The five-stage system we use to build AI-First marketing programs that get cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — and turn that visibility into real pipeline.
Why a methodology at all?
Marketing changed more between 2023 and 2026 than it did in the previous twenty years. Buyers now ask an AI first and click a website second — if at all. Our methodology is built for that world: earn the citation, then earn the click, then earn the customer.
Stage 1
Ready — Discovery + AI Visibility Audit
Before we spend a dollar on marketing, we map where you stand in the new AI-answer landscape.
- →Brand, offer, and audience discovery — the fundamentals still matter
- →Full AI visibility audit: are you cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews?
- →Technical SEO + schema baseline (LLMs read structured data first)
- →Competitor answer-share analysis: who is winning the questions your buyers ask?
Stage 2
Aim — Answer-First Strategy
We build the strategy around the questions your customers are actually asking AI — not just the keywords they used to type into Google.
- →Question-intent mapping (top 50–200 buyer questions in your category)
- →Entity + topical authority plan so LLMs recognize you as the source
- →Content architecture built for extraction: H2 questions, concise answers, supporting depth
- →Omni Answer Authority™ roadmap: SEO + AEO + GEO working together
Stage 3
Launch — Build & Publish for Humans + Machines
We ship the assets — pages, schema, video, PR — engineered to be both human-persuasive and machine-quotable.
- →Pillar pages, FAQs, and comparison content with proper schema (FAQ, HowTo, Article, Video, LocalBusiness)
- →AI-assisted video and streaming TV creative
- →Digital PR + authoritative citations to build entity trust
- →On-site conversion paths (contact, calculators, lead magnets) that turn AI-driven traffic into pipeline
Stage 4
Soar — Measure Citations, Not Just Clicks
In an answer-first world, the win condition is being cited — even when nobody clicks. We track that.
- →Citation tracking in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews
- →Traditional rank + traffic + conversion reporting alongside AI answer share
- →Ongoing content and schema optimization based on which pages LLMs actually quote
- →Monthly strategy calls with a senior marketer — not a junior account rep
Stage 5
Orbit — Compounding Authority
Authority compounds. The ministries and businesses that show up first in AI answers today will still be there in 3 years — if the flywheel keeps turning.
- →Continuous publishing of quotable, high-E-E-A-T content
- →Refreshing older pages as models and algorithms shift (they shift monthly now)
- →Expanding into adjacent question clusters and new formats (video, podcast, structured data)
- →Long-term partnership: we grow with you, not off you
