Four stages. Each stage produces a decision for you, and each later stage only begins when the evidence from the one before supports it. Here is what happens in each, what we need from you, and what we do not promise.
Ten points scored on the business as a customer meets it: AEO and SEO for your market, site speed and mobile, the UX flow from landing to sale, Google and Meta readiness, brand strategy against the competitor set, reviews, retention, measurement.
Where customers are lost between first search and sale and why: enquiry handling, conversion, pricing position against the competitor set, reviews, capacity, visibility. Conversations with the owner and whoever runs marketing today.
Positioning, landing and sales pages, the enquiry path behind them, review programme set-up, tracking from first touch to paid sale.
Search and AI visibility, paid media where it earns its place, reviews, retention. Weekly note on what moved; monthly report; quarterly review.
Every report opens with the four numbers an owner already uses: enquiries that become sales, revenue against the competitor set, what a new customer costs per channel, and customers who come back. Then three things that changed this month and one decision we need from you.
Spend, clicks, rankings and share of AI answers are supporting evidence and sit lower on the page. A red number is stated as red. We do not soften bad news with framing.
We control inputs, rigour and speed. We do not control demand in your market, what an AI engine says on a given day, or a competitor's pricing. We will not promise a number of sales, a ranking, or a position in an AI answer, and we would be cautious of anyone who does.
What you can hold us to: the scope, the dates, the measures agreed in writing before stage 3, and a monthly account of what we did and what it produced.
Illustrative layout of the monthly report. The numbers below are invented for the example; in practice every figure is your own.
Decision needed: move a third of the paid budget to the enquiry hours where 31 percent of enquiries arrive and 9 percent convert.
