Most B2B companies run SEO and PR as separate efforts — or not at all. We run them as one program, so the coverage that builds your authority is the same thing that makes you rank — and the AI visibility can bring leads in before the rankings do.

Why it isn't working

You've been publishing. Nothing's happening.

Search engines and AI assistants reward companies that show consistent depth on a topic and get cited by credible 3rd-party sources. Most B2B companies fail to see results because:

  • Twelve unrelated blog posts don't build topical authority
  • A press release nobody writes about does nothing for your visibility
  • Companies split SEO and PR across two agencies and two invoices
  • In-house teams are limited by scope and manpower, not ability

The problem isn't effort. It's that nobody owns the whole strategy.

Timeline

You don't have to wait a year.

Traditional SEO

  • Rankings take months
  • Compounds slowly
  • Pays off in quarters

AI search

  • Assistants cite sources they trust
  • Can surface you before you rank
  • Can produce inbound leads in weeks

Content built to be cited, paired with credible earned coverage, works on both timelines at once.

Two timelines, one program. One shows results while the other compounds.

What we do

Two programs.
One strategy.

Organic Search & AI Program

Search and AI visibility, built as a system rather than a stack of blog posts.

  • Keyword and topic cluster strategy
  • Technical SEO audits and fixes
  • Content built for search engines and AI citation
  • Monthly reporting with plain-language interpretation
  • Transparent timelines on expected results

Earned Media Program

Presence in the publications your buyers actually read.

  • Bylined thought leadership placed in trade press
  • Ongoing pitching to a named target list
  • Industry award submissions, managed end to end
  • Executive positioning and media-ready messaging
  • Press release distribution to targeted media lists

Why they work better together

Trade bylines and awards are credibility signals search engines and AI models weigh heavily — and proof points your sales team can use. Run separately, they're two line items. Run together, each one makes the other work harder.

How we start

You don't pay us
to learn your business.

Agencies bill you for the ramp-up — discovery calls, audits, onboarding — before they've proven a thing. We don't think that's fair.

The first two weeks are unbilled. By your official start date you'll already have:

  • A completed site and analytics audit
  • An agreed media target list
  • A partner that knows your business and your subject matter experts

Two weeks of work before your first invoice. Then month to month — we earn our keep every month.

How it works

Four steps to get started.

STEP 01

Diagnostic

We audit your search visibility, site health, AI presence, and media footprint. You get a specific list of what's broken, what's missing, and what we can improve with timelines.

STEP 02

Strategy

We agree on content strategy topics, the target publications, your subject matter experts, and the process.

STEP 03

Execution

We do the work — writing, optimization, pitching, submissions. You approve.

STEP 04

Reporting

Monthly read-out on what moved, why, and what changes next. In a plain language document you can share, not a dashboard screenshot.
