Strategy for the AI Search era

AI Search services to define entities, topics and governance.

Turn uncertainty into a clear plan your team can execute. Brand Strategy AI defines the entities, topics and rules that make your brand understandable to both people and AI systems.

Primary outcomes

  • A single Entity Registry everyone trusts

  • A focused Topic Map aligned to answer surfaces

  • Clear success metrics and governance so work doesn’t drift

  • Ready-to-use briefs for Brand Authority AI and GEO Citations

1. AI Search Strategy Sprint (2–3 weeks)

Who it’s for

Organisations who need clarity before investing in content, schema or off-site optimisation.

What you get

  1. Entity Registry v1.0
    Canonical names, URLs, categories, sameAs, attributes and owners.

  2. Topic Map v1.0
    Pillars, support topics and FAQs mapped to intent and target surfaces (snippets, how-tos, local/answer).

  3. Positioning Notes
    Two concise angles aligned to audience problems and surfaces.

  4. Success Metrics & Scorecard
    Leading and lagging KPIs with simple reporting cadence.

  5. Handoff Pack
    Actionable briefs for Brand Authority AI (content + schema) and GEO Citations (priority nodes + NAP standard).

How it works

2. Governance & Playbooks

Keep work consistent as you scale. We define practical rules and templates so teams and vendors pull in the same direction.

Deliverables

  • Naming Rules & Templates – organisation/service/location patterns, URLs/slugs.

  • Schema Standards – required types and properties, copy-paste JSON-LD, validation workflow.

  • Review & Proof Policy – ethical prompts, timing, storage and reuse; markup rules.

  • Change Control Playbook – change ledger, approval path, release cadence, rollback plan.

  • Content Acceptance Criteria – per surface “Definition of Done” and internal linking standards.

  • RACI – clear roles across Strategy, Authority, GEO and client teams.

Format

A concise guide (10–15 pages) plus editable templates.

Implementation

Standalone in 1–2 weeks, or bundled with the Strategy Sprint.

3. GEO Audit — Find the gaps (one-off)

Who it’s for

Brands with inconsistent listings, duplicate profiles, or unclear local signals.

What we deliver

  • Coverage Map — where you are vs. where you should be (by tier: Primary / Vertical / Local / Corroborative)

  • Duplicate & Conflict List — flagged records and recommended actions

  • Priority Fixes — high-impact items for the next 30–45 days

How it works

  1. Kick-off & Inputs (Week 1) – 60–90 min call, asset review, competitor/surface scan.

  2. Design (Week 1–2) – Entity audit, opportunity sizing, topic mapping, positioning options.

  3. Finalise & Handoff (Week 2–3) – Registry, map and scorecard signed off; briefs issued.

What we need from you

  • Official name(s), URLs, categories, service areas, and NAP

  • Access to key profiles (or delegate access)

Outcome

A clear remediation plan and a baseline score to improve against.

Investment

Fee guide £950 (payable in advance).

Results you can expect

  • Faster decision-making and fewer reworks

  • Consistent entity data across sites and profiles

  • Content that targets real answer surfaces (not just keywords)

  • Clear metrics and accountability across teams

FAQs

Is this just a strategy deck?
No. You receive working artefacts (Registry, Map, Scorecard, Playbooks) that downstream teams can execute immediately.

Can you implement the recommendations?
Yes, please visit our Implementation page.

What if we already have keyword research?
Great. We translate it into entity- and intent-driven topics mapped to answer surfaces, then de-duplicate and prioritise.

Do we need multi-location support?
We’ll set location naming and NAP rules now so GEO Citations can roll out cleanly later.
