What you get

Three outcomes. We sell the outcome, not a pile of deliverables.

01
Stop renting your traffic
Your paid engines drive $3.4M a year and stop the day the spend stops. We build the owned channel underneath: the category demand already searching in Google and AI.
02
Be the brand AI recommends
Google's AI summary already names you on pine pollen. We extend that to every testosterone, vitality and comparison question your buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI.
03
Own the system, not a vendor
We install a compounding asset your team can run. You are never stuck with an agency you cannot leave, because the whole thing is yours to keep.

The four pillars we build

Around 70 to 80% of this is proper SEO, done well with AI. Four pillars, scored out of 100 so progress is objective. The scores below are yours, from the strategy report.

PillarWhat we build, for youYou today
1 · TechnicalYour technical layer is the strongest we have audited this year: AI crawlers welcomed, llms.txt and an agentic discovery sitemap live, a real entity schema layer. What is left is surgical: the "Shop now" homepage title on your highest-authority page, the duplicate product JSON-LD that risks dropping your 4.57★/467-review stars, the robots-blocked post that should be a 301, and Core Web Vitals measured and remediated.20 / 25
2 · ContentKeyword and AI-prompt research into topic clusters, then the content that answers every buyer question, written to the health-claims line and approved by you. Your map is 52 keywords, 132 buyer questions and 10 territories. The work is almost all net-new: your blog holds five posts, so we build the testosterone hub, the comparison set against shilajit, tongkat ali and ashwagandha, and the pine pollen answer library on your own turf.10 / 25
3 · AuthorityThe backlinks, mentions and placements AI actually cites. For you that means lifting your Domain Rating off 17, getting Bio Gold into the round-ups and retailer conversations that currently route through HealthPost (DR 57) and Chemist Warehouse (DR 67), and putting your 467 genuine reviews and NZ-harvested story to work.10 / 25
4 · MeasurementWorkstream one, before anything else scales. Your GA4 records USD against an NZD store, captures 58% of your Shopify orders and holds 658 conversions in Unassigned. We repair it, reconcile it to Shopify, recover your pre-July Search Console history, then stand up AI-visibility tracking and organic revenue attribution, so every result of this engagement is provable in your own reporting.5 / 25

45 out of 100 today. Certified is 80, which is Professional on all four. The evidence behind each score is in Appendix B of the strategy report.

How the six months run

1First 90 days: measurement, foundations and first production

We capture your baseline, repair your measurement, land the technical fixes and stand up your content engine. Content production begins inside these first 90 days: as soon as everything is calibrated to your voice and the claims you can substantiate, the pieces start shipping.

2Months 3 to 6: content + authority at pace

We build your content and authority hard: around 100 to 150 pieces across the six months, plus the foundational links and citations. Your visibility starts compounding across search and AI, and by month six you are transformed, ready to hand over.

3Month 6 onward: you own it

The foundations, the content, the links and your certification are yours, on your own low-cost platform login rather than a big agency retainer. From here it is your call how much support you want.

After the six months, it is yours

You keep everything and choose how to run it. Three ways forward, all on your terms.

Do it yourself
Keep the platform for a low monthly fee (hundreds, not thousands) and run it in-house in an hour or two a week.
Do it with us
Join the ecommerce accelerator community: weekly coaching, other Shopify brands on the same tools, strategy and back-end sessions.
We keep running it
Stay on a rolling retainer at the pace you choose and we keep the whole engine humming for you.

What you are actually buying

The four pillars of AI search become four sets of working workflows, built around your brand, so you can act on them rather than admire them. Four workflows transfer to you: content (the research, brief, write, review and publish chain, the most complex piece and the one that takes years to get right), technical SEO and AEO, authority, and measurement (the tracking, attribution and reporting layer that puts the right information in front of you at the right time, so decisions get made on what is actually happening rather than on a hunch). All four live inside Notable, all four keep being updated, all four are yours to keep.

The line that matters. Most agencies charge you year after year after year, and the day you stop paying, the capability walks out of the door with them. We charge you for six months to transform the business, and then you own the system. For a business doing what yours does through the store, the IP on its own would justify the investment.

How the engagement works

InvestmentWe will walk you through the numbers together, once the scope is confirmed
Your timeOne to two hours a week during the foundations phase (access, calibration, sign-off), then a quick weekly check-in for the rest of the six months
Contract termA six-month build. No lock-in beyond it
After six monthsA low monthly platform fee to keep and run the system, the accelerator community, or a rolling retainer if you want us on it
If you leaveYou keep everything: the foundations, the content, the links, the strategy and your certification
QualificationWe take a small cohort through the transformation at a time, so delivery stays hands-on
The commitment. The mid case in your strategy report is +$104,830 a year in new non-branded organic revenue, built from your own order value and a deliberately conservative conversion assumption, and the AI-chat layer is modelled at zero on top of it, on a channel your store has already recorded orders from. The system compounds past month twelve, you own it outright, and because you keep everything and can leave after the build, the risk of trying it is close to nil.

One honest note on timing: content ships from the first months, and rankings and AI citations follow with a lag, so judge the first six months on the score climbing and the run-rate building, not on cash collected in period.

Why you can be confident

What comes next

You have your strategy report and the numbers sized on your own data. Next is a short call to confirm scope and walk through the investment together. From there we set up payment, book your onboarding call, and the six months starts.

Appendix A: the transformation, line by line

This is the full task list behind the summary above. Roughly 70 to 80% of it is proper SEO done well with AI, and the rest is what makes you the brand AI recommends. Approval points are marked, so you always know when something needs your sign-off.

Before we start: what we need from you

Phase 1 · First 90 days: foundations, calibration and first production

This period establishes the foundations, repairs the measurement, calibrates Notable to your brand, and ships the first wave of content. By the end of it the technical work is done and the content engine is running at pace.

The goal we are driving at

Phase 2 · Months 4 to 6: production at scale and compounding

Foundations are in and the workflows are calibrated, so these months are about sustained output and building the authority that makes AI cite you. The mix each month is guided by the roadmap and adjusted for your seasonality and performance data.

Monthly content production

Authority and reputation

Being straight with you about the authority pillar: the engagement runs hardest on technical, content and measurement, because those are the three we can move reliably inside six months. The authority side of Notable, the off-site opportunity tracking, the community scanning and the digital PR tooling, is the newest part of the platform and we are building it out over the coming months. We are not going to promise you a dashboard that does not exist yet. What we will do is the foundational link work, tell you honestly where you stand on authority, and bring you the new tooling as it lands.

Volumes depend on content complexity, your approval cadence and strategic priorities. With an 11-product catalogue the weight of the build is new answer content rather than refreshes, which is exactly where your gap is. The roadmap guides prioritisation, and we will always choose the higher-value piece over hitting a number.

Notable, the platform you end up owning

Notable is our own Shopify-native AI search platform, and it is the reason this leaves you with an asset rather than a folder of documents. During the six months we run it for you. After that it is yours.

After the six months, someone on your team spends an hour or two a week in Notable and the system keeps compounding. You can also join the AI Search Accelerator community for coaching and support, or keep us on a rolling retainer. Your call.

What is not included

Worth being straight about the edges, so nothing surprises anyone at month four.
