Your Questions, Answered
-
You get a senior person doing the actual work, not a junior handed down from an account manager. No office overheads, no layers of people between you and the strategy, no meetings that exist just to report on other meetings.
-
No, you get more of the right things. You lose the extra headcount and the internal admin. What you keep is the strategic thinking and hands-on execution, done by one experienced person who knows your brand inside out.
-
Mostly, yes, directly. For anything outside my core skillset, I bring in trusted specialists rather than stretching myself thin, so you still get senior-level work across the board.

Mapping how a customer actually moves from an AI search query through to a decision, so your content sits in the right place at the right stage.
-
A structured check of how visible your brand is in AI search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. It looks at whether you're being found, cited and represented accurately.
-
SEO gets you ranking in traditional search results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) gets you cited and quoted inside AI-generated answers. Different mechanics, different content requirements, same goal and fundamentals of being found.
