    Challenge

    Strong wedge, weak distribution — the team had real product traction but zero share-of-voice in AI-search answers.

    Approach

    • GEO playbook + AI-search citation tracking shipped in week one.
    • Original benchmarks + first-party research designed as content moats.
    • Async-first cadence with weekly live decision call in PT mornings.
    • Performance media tightened around the validated wedge — no spray.

    FAQ · San Francisco

    What San Francisco buyers ask first.

    Selectively. The fit is best for AI scale-ups that have at least one validated wedge in market and need to compound brand + organic + AI-search visibility ahead of the next round, not for pre-product teams testing positioning.
