Hiring a growth lead takes months. We can start Monday.

One senior operator and governed AI — work leaves the queue, not another handoff. We re-measure the same way every month so you can see what moved.

Book 15 min

Free, about ten seconds. Public data only, no signup.

What we operate

Six functions, and counting.

Run as one connected system, so what we learn in one aims the next. AI runs the engine; we own the outcome.

AI visibility

Agent Ready Lab

Be the business AI names when buyers ask. We measure what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI say about you, close the gaps, and re-test every month.

Lifecycle

Onboarding to retention

Content

On-brand, at AI speed

The volume AI makes possible, with senior taste deciding what's worth shipping.

Measurement

Proof, every month

What moved and what's next, measured the same way each time so the numbers are real.

Website

Pages people and AI read

Built and tuned for both audiences at once, by the same person running everything else.

What we build

The actual things we ship.

Not a service menu. These are the pieces of work that come out of the loop, in the order they usually arrive.

The loop

01Measure

Agent-Readiness Check

Free public-data score on how well AI can find and identify a business, plus a competitor head-to-head.

Run it free →
02Diagnose

Five-gate audit

Full diagnosis across visibility, identity, readability, transactability, and accuracy. The same gates re-run every month.

03Fix

Fix kit

Concrete, reversible fixes: machine-readability, robots and llms.txt, guided schema and entity change-sets, ready to ship or apply with your authorization.

04Prove

Monthly re-measure

Same prompt battery, same method, movement report, so "what changed" is a number, not a narrative.

What we can build

Search + AI

SEO · GEO · AEO readiness pass

Combined search and answer-engine measurement with a prioritized fix list. The light diagnostic we run before most first conversations.

Search + AI

SERP ↔ AI divergence map

Where Google and answer engines disagree about a brand, and which gap is actually winnable.

Competitive

Competitor teardown

Sourced read of who gets recommended in the category, why, and what wedge is still open.

Website

Conversion path audit

Whether a person or an agent can actually complete the job from your public site, and where the path breaks.

Content

Answer-ready content briefs

Buyer-question pages shaped for people and for AI citation, with a cannibalization check before anything gets drafted.

Lifecycle

Lifecycle play design

Triggered email and retention plays scoped to a segment, brand-and-compliance gated, then configured in the ESP you already use.

How we work

Don't buy another platform you won't use.

Hire the operator who brings them. Agencies fail in the queue: briefs, juniors, revisions, ping-pong. We wire AI into the stack you already own, then run the day-to-day with governed agents under one senior operator — work leaves the queue instead of changing hands. One loop, the same way, every month, so movement compounds.

Day one

See where you stand

How AI and buyers actually see you today: your visibility, your gaps, and where rivals win.

First 30 days

Ship the work

We build and run it across visibility, paid, lifecycle, content, and web. Not a deck; the actual execution.

Every month after

Measure the movement

We re-measure the same way every month and show what changed. Real movement, not assertions.

Work leaves the queue Measured, not asserted Work shipped, not just recommended Tuned to your stack

AI visibility

Five checks decide whether AI can recommend you.

Before an assistant sends you a customer, it has to find you, understand you, read you, transact with you, and get you right. The free check grades the first three. The paid baseline grades all five.

G1

Visibility

Can AI find and recommend you for the questions buyers ask?

G2

Identity

Does AI resolve you as one clear, correct business?

G3

Readability

Can AI crawlers reach, parse, and quote your pages?

G4

Transactability

Can an AI agent actually complete a task with you?

G5

Accuracy

Is what AI says about you true, current, and safe?

Sample findings

The kind of gaps we find.

Every engagement opens with a graded, sourced read a marketing leader can act on, no access to your systems. Public samples, anonymized:

C+

Regional bankVisibility teardown

"Present but not preferred." Out-cited by bigger rivals on commercial prompts and by critics on trust prompts, with an ownable wedge it was leaving on the table.

C

Local practiceMulti-location

"Findable by name, fragmented by brand." AI saw it as two different businesses, splitting authority right where new customers decide.

B

B2B SaaSField-service software

"Visible and trusted, but not category-defining." Known everywhere, yet described as one of several tools, with an ownable lane it wasn't claiming.

Before you ask

The questions we get first.

Do you need access to our systems?
Not to start. The free AI check reads public pages only — no login, no access to anything you own, and no email needed to see your score. If you want the full written audit behind that score, you can have it emailed to you; that is the only point an address is asked for, and it is optional. You can run the check on your own domain before you ever speak to us, and so can we, which is why the first conversation already has evidence in it.
What exactly do you measure?
Five things an assistant has to do before it can send you a customer: find you, understand you, read you, transact with you, and get you right. Each is graded and rolled into an Agent-Readiness score out of 100, with your single biggest fixable gap called out and a head-to-head against your competitors. We re-run it the same way every month, so the number is comparable instead of a fresh opinion each time.
How is this different from our SEO agency?
SEO works on where you rank when someone searches. This works on whether an AI assistant can find you, understand what you do, and name you when a buyer asks it for a recommendation. Different mechanics, different failure modes — a site can do well at one while being effectively invisible to the other.
How much can you really do in the first month?
One function, properly. Month one is the diagnosis plus the first fix shipped in whichever area has the fastest payback — usually AI visibility and search, because it is measurable and we can move it without waiting on ad budget, creative, or a CRM migration. Paid, lifecycle, and web come in sequence, as the monthly measurement shows where the next gain is. Anyone promising all six inside 30 days is describing a plan, not shipped work.
What if nothing actually ships?
Then you don’t pay for that month. The commitment is your first work in production within 30 days of starting — not a deck, not a roadmap, work that is live. If that doesn’t happen, the month is free. It is the same standard we hold the measurement to: either something moved or it didn’t, and we show you which.
What does it cost?
The AI check is free. The Growth Audit is $2.5k one-time and credits into a retainer if you continue. Retainers start at $2.5k a month. Regulated or multi-location businesses are scoped at $3.5k to $5k for the audit, because there is more surface to cover and more to get right.
Who actually does the work?
Matt Martin owns your account end to end and is the person you talk to. When a piece of work needs another senior pair of hands, we bring one in — you are never handed to a junior after the call, because there is no sales team to hand you off from. AI does the volume; the judgment about what is worth shipping stays human.
