Four moves that compound.
If your visibility score is below 60, here's the playbook Maggie runs every day to get our customers above 80 inside 90 days.
Category prompts
Identify the 20–40 prompts a real buyer would type into an AI to find your category — not just generic keywords.
Topical depth
Publish category-defining content with crisp definitions, comparisons, and trade-offs. AI surfaces reward semantic completeness.
GEO-native writing
Use the structures LLMs retrieve — bulleted facts, comparison tables, FAQs, named alternatives, and clear category language.
Daily cadence
AI surfaces reward freshness. Publishing weekly is the floor; daily is what unlocks consistent compounding.
Or just hand the playbook to Maggie.
She runs all four moves daily — for £45/mo. Connect your domain, and the visibility score in your next monthly report should look very different.
