- 01
Understand your current performance in AI search
Decision question: Are we visible for the buying questions that matter, and how do we compare with the brands a customer will consider?
Workflow test: Review prompt coverage, recommendation position, sentiment, competitors, and the exact answers behind the summary.
- 02
Explain a meaningful change over time
Decision question: Did visibility move because the model changed, a source disappeared, a competitor improved, or our own site changed?
Workflow test: Trace one material movement from the trend into response evidence, citations, pages, and relevant technical history.
- 03
Find the sources shaping the category
Decision question: Which publishers, communities, directories, and first-party pages influence the answers where competitors win?
Workflow test: Compare cited domains and URLs, identify competitor-only sources, and turn the gap into a realistic authority plan.
- 04
Prioritize the work across content and technical teams
Decision question: Which actions should enter the next sprint, what evidence supports them, and what result should each action improve?
Workflow test: Create an ordered plan that retains affected pages, scope, priority, source evidence, and an accountable owner.
- 05
Deliver the result to leadership or a client
Decision question: Can the team publish a clear decision story without rebuilding the evidence in spreadsheets and slides?
Workflow test: Produce the live review, PDF, presentation, and raw evidence required by the audience from the same project state.
