Targeted Impressions / Search + AI

AI Search Optimization & Measurement

Find out where buyers discover you, how AI answers describe your brand, and which improvements deserve your next investment. I turn search, content and measurement findings into quick wins, experiments and a longer-term plan—with implementation support where agreed.

Three questions. A practical next move.

Find the opportunity, decide what to do

Are you discoverable—and where?

Map where buyers can find you. Review Google search performance, identifiable AI referrals and sampled AI answers. Check whether important pages can be crawled, indexed and reached through internal links.

What you getA visibility baseline with gaps by channel and page family.

How does AI understand your brand?

Inspect how answers describe and compare you. Test relevant buyer questions. Compare sampled descriptions, recommendations and citations with your approved brand and product facts, and note where competitors appear.

What you getA review of sampled answers showing inaccuracies, omissions and supporting pages to investigate.

Where is the opportunity—and what can wait?

Turn the findings into decisions. Connect demand, competitor gaps and technical constraints to your commercial objective. Rank quick wins, experiments and larger work against likely value, evidence and effort.

What you getA prioritized plan: act now, test next, plan for later—or leave alone, with a reason.

The practical outcome

Know what to do next—and how to check it

Recommendations your team can act on. We agree the depth and deliverables before kickoff.

A clear baseline

Where you stand today across the agreed pages, markets and data sources. What is measured, what is estimated and what remains unknown.

A ranked action plan

Quick wins and larger workstreams, with the issue, affected pages, recommendation, evidence, effort, dependencies and a way to check completion.

Content and competitor gaps

Buyer questions and demand your current pages do not serve well. What to improve, consolidate or create—and where competitors offer a stronger answer.

Experiments worth running

A hypothesis, target pages, proposed change, success measure and review date. A suitable comparison where the data and implementation allow it.

An ongoing reporting plan

The metrics, source definitions, reporting cadence and decisions to make from the results. Reported AI referrals, sampled answers and crawler activity stay separate.

A strategic roadmap

A sequence of improvements tied to the business objective, team capacity and dependencies.

What an actionable recommendation looks like

Illustrative example: important service pages are hard to reach through internal links. The recommendation identifies the affected URLs and templates, proposes specific links, assigns an owner and defines a post-release crawl check. Ongoing reporting tracks search and conversion performance.

Discoverability, data integration and delivery belong in the same plan. I connect the analysis to the technical work: how information enters the site, how pages and tools use it, and how the team checks what changed. Explore the thinking and examples →

From discovery to a usable plan

Search experience applied to the next discovery problem

My approach draws on enterprise search, in-house growth and working with client teams. As AI changes how people research and compare businesses, I connect search demand, technical access, content and the available marketing data to one question: what should your team do next?

Start with the business objective, not a prompt list. Technical and content discovery can run together. Material access or delivery blockers take priority; new tools and metrics earn their place only when they help answer the agreed question.

  1. Agree the objective

    Define the audience, commercial question, scope and implementation owner. Establish the available baseline.

  2. Check discoverability

    Review crawling, indexing, rendering, canonicals, internal linking and speed. Identify affected templates and prioritize material blockers.

  3. Assess content and demand

    Map useful answers, keyword demand and competitor gaps to existing or proposed pages. Use customer questions where available.

  4. Test search and AI answers

    Build a representative question set from that research. Record sampled answers and citations, with the model, date and test conditions.

  5. Prioritize and deliver

    Review recommendations together. Agree quick wins, experiments, reporting and the larger plan; implement or hand off within the selected scope.

Keyword demand, customer language and competitor research inform the buyer questions we test in AI assistants. Together, they help focus the work on your next opportunity.

01 / Fixed scope

Start with an audit

Three depths. Each includes the one before it.

Rapid Baseline

1–2 weeks

Best for

Teams that need a focused read on one business question before committing budget

What I do

Agree the objective and priority pages. Review technical access, content and available search and analytics data, then sample relevant buyer questions in search and AI assistants.

What you get

  • A current-state baseline with data gaps identified
  • Top 3–5 opportunities, ranked by evidence, likely value and effort
  • A quick-win shortlist and one recommended next step
  • A recommended reporting and prompt baseline to track going forward

Growth Audit

3–4 weeks

Best for

Teams planning a 60 to 90 day push, for example ahead of a seasonal peak, a launch or a budget cycle

What I do

Assess technical and content gaps across the agreed page families. Compare named competitors, research demand, and test a larger buyer-question set across agreed AI assistants over repeated runs. Identify patterns in cited pages and opportunities to test.

What you get

Everything in Rapid Baseline, plus

  • Competitor gap analysis across content, search and the sampled AI answers
  • Content and keyword opportunity map with demand estimates and source limits
  • Implementation-ready recommendations with acceptance checks
  • Experiment briefs and a reporting specification
  • 90-day roadmap with dependencies and recommended owners

Program Diagnostic

6–8 weeks

Best for

Larger or multi-product teams that need one strategy across business units

What I do

The Growth Audit, run per audience and product line, plus three checks: do your brand facts agree across site, docs and third-party sources; does site structure help or hurt; can your analytics attribute AI traffic and support testing.

What you get

Everything in Growth Audit, plus

  • The widest tracking: agreed products and markets, more LLMs, a consistent time series
  • Workstreams ranked by value, with owners
  • Measurement framework: the KPIs and reporting the program runs on
  • Strategic roadmap

Scope you can evaluate before you commit

We name the domains, page families, markets, competitors, question set and data sources in the scope. Recommendations include priority, rationale and the next action. Detailed implementation specs are included at the agreed audit depth.

02 / Custom scope

Programmatic support

Project or retainer. Pick your modules.

Optimization

Deliver the agreed priority changes: crawl and rendering fixes, internal links, performance improvements and stronger source content. Address inaccurate brand information at its source; third-party AI answers remain outside our control.

Metrics we track

  • Acceptance checks for the changed pages and templates
  • Search performance and conversion rate of identifiable referrals

Monitoring

Your prompt baseline, re-run across LLMs on a set cadence. I compare model shifts with your own changes and report what to do next.

Metrics we track

  • Answer and citation share vs named competitors
  • Accuracy and sentiment of answers about you

Continuous improvement

A ranked backlog fed by monitoring. I implement or coordinate each change, confirm it’s live, measure it, and test before you scale where the data allows.

Metrics we track

  • Change on your prompt panel; attributable lift where a valid test supports it
  • Test results: what to scale, what to drop

Attribution

Is AI visibility producing value? I connect identifiable AI and search referrals to GA4 conversions and your CRM where the data supports it, and report each stage separately.

Metrics we track

  • Sessions → leads → pipeline, by stage
  • Pipeline associated with AI and search, by page, where reliable joins are available

Targets are set at kickoff, against the baseline from your audit. Every readout reports against them.

Reporting connects the relevant measures: sampled AI answers, crawler activity, referrals and business outcomes.

03

Choose the right format

Ad hoc
Discovery call
1-hour block
3-hour workshop
Audit
Fixed scope and timeline. Pick a depth above.
Program
Project or retainer, scoped from the modules above.
Delivery
I do the work, or guide your team, agency or engineers.

We agree scope, timing, fees, access and implementation ownership before kickoff.

04

Data access used for the engagement

Only the sources needed for the agreed question

Source → role in the analysis

Organic searchGoogle Search Console
Queries, impressions, clicks, landing pages and indexing/search performance context
Clickstream analyticsGoogle Analytics 4
Referral sources, sessions, landing pages, user journeys, engagement and conversion events
Paid demandGoogle Ads
Paid search demand, keyword themes, landing-page performance and conversion context when relevant
Leads & pipelineHubSpot / CRM
Lead lifecycle, qualification, pipeline and later outcomes where the existing data can be joined reliably
AI crawler accessCloudflare / host logs
Which AI/search crawlers request which pages and how often, when logs are available and useful

Every engagement ends with a recommended stack. Your team runs it, I maintain it, or we hand it off.

To start, I only need read-only access or exports from the relevant sources you have. Missing data stays an explicit limitation. Do not email credentials or confidential customer records; we agree secure access during onboarding.

Optional / Separate project

CMS modernization for AI-assisted publishing

When the platform is the bottleneck, assess a move to structured content that authorized tools can work with—while people retain review and release control.

An agent-ready publishing workflow needs more than generated pages: clear content models, role-based permissions, previews, version history, validation and rollback.

  • Content, URL and integration inventory; keep, revise and migrate decisions.
  • Content-model and template mapping, with redirects, canonicals, metadata and internal links accounted for.
  • A representative migration pilot, including forms, analytics and publishing checks.
  • An agreed cutover, rollback plan, post-launch verification and team handoff.

After discovery, we scope a rapid migration for a suitable site or defined page family. Where a smaller repair meets the objective, we recommend that instead.

Before we start

Questions answered

What will I actually receive?

A written readout and prioritized recommendations for the agreed scope, reviewed together on a handoff call. Depending on the audit depth, this includes technical tickets, content briefs, competitor gaps, experiment plans and reporting specifications. We list the exact deliverables before work starts.

Will you implement the recommendations?

Implementation is available as a separately agreed project or ongoing engagement. I can do the scoped work, coordinate with your agency or engineers, or provide an implementation-ready handoff. An audit does not automatically include every repair, new page or integration it identifies.

Can you work with our existing team and tools?

Yes. The starting point is your existing website, data and delivery process. We agree owners and access, and choose tools only where they answer the question. You do not need to buy an entire new stack.

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

The audit ranges above are planning estimates, confirmed once scope and access are agreed. Fees depend on the site, markets, products, data and delivery responsibility. You receive a written scope, fee and timetable before kickoff. Delayed access or added scope can change that timetable.

What if we do not have all the data?

We use relevant read-only access or exports that are available and identify what cannot be measured. If a missing source would prevent a useful answer, we resolve that before proceeding with the affected work. Missing analytics are not treated as zero activity.

Can you guarantee rankings, AI citations or revenue?

I commit to the agreed analysis, actionable deliverables and implementation checks. Rankings, AI answers and revenue depend on factors beyond the engagement, so we agree objectives and track progress against the baseline.

Do we need to migrate our CMS?

Not necessarily. Migration is worth considering when the current platform materially limits discoverability, publishing or the agreed workflow. A focused repair may be the better option. CMS modernization is separately scoped, not a prerequisite for an audit.

What happens when discovery reveals another problem?

We add it to the backlog, explain its relevance and agree whether it replaces a lower-priority item or needs additional scope. Ad hoc questions are welcome; they do not become unbounded work or an unexpected commitment.

A practical first step

Start with a discovery call

Send your website, the business question, priority market and any deadline. We will discuss fit, relevant data and the right scope, then agree deliverables, fees and ownership before work begins.
