Website Strategy & Consulting

Your website is the foundation. We make sure it's built for how people find you now.

Most websites were built before AI search changed the rules. We work alongside your web builder, or build directly when needed, to make sure your site is structured for the systems that now decide who gets found, cited, and recommended.

What we optimize for

Four layers, built in from the first line of markup.

SEO

Search Engine Optimization

Clean metadata, semantic structure, speed, mobile-first layout. Necessary, just no longer sufficient.

AEO

Answer Engine Optimization

Structured data and entity consistency that make your business citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overview.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization

Content shaped so generative models quote you accurately and in context, not just find you.

EEAT

Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust

Verifiable expertise and third-party signals written into the content as a design constraint, not an afterthought.

92%

Invisible in AI search

Most small business sites are never cited by an AI engine.

Not because the business isn't good, but because the evidence isn't findable.

What we bring to a website project

01

Discovery

We surface the through-line of your work before anyone touches a layout — yours, your builder's, or ours.

02

Narrative

The site is written before it's designed. Each page says one thing, in order. We produce the content architecture and messaging your builder needs.

03

Specifications

Findability requirements, schema architecture, structured data, authority signals, and AI discoverability standards — documented so any competent builder can implement them.

04

Review & Guidance

We review what's built against the specifications. Structure, metadata, crawl configuration, entity consistency — the things that determine whether AI systems can read you.

05

Verification

We verify every crawler configuration by fetching it directly. If a search engine or AI system can't reach it, we find out before your visitors don't.

How we work with you

Alongside Your Builder

You have a web team or agency. We provide the strategic layer they don't — findability specifications, content architecture, schema requirements, and AI readability standards. They build. We make sure what they build gets found.

Direct Build

When you don't have a builder, or prefer to keep strategy and execution in one place, we design and build the site ourselves. Same methodology, same findability standards, delivered as a complete package.

Managed Presence

We build it and run it. Updates, new content, visibility passes, crawl verification — handled through our client portal. You focus on your work. We keep your presence current and your findability growing.

Whether we consult alongside your team or build directly, the diagnostic thinking is the same. It connects to our findability diagnostics and authority building.
