Frequently asked
What does client acquisition include?
Paid acquisition across Meta and Google, retargeting, SEO, local SEO, content SEO, AEO and AI search visibility, digital PR, and lead qualification built into forms and follow up.
Do you optimise for cost per lead?
We optimise for qualified opportunities. A lower cost per lead means very little if the sales team cannot use the leads, so we track quality signals through to booked calls and revenue where possible.
What is AI search visibility?
Making sure your business is understood and cited when people ask tools like ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI answers for recommendations. It relies on clear entities, consistent information, useful content and third party mentions.
Paid or organic: which should we start with?
Paid gives you speed. Organic builds an asset you own. Most businesses need both, weighted by how urgently they need demand and how long they can invest.
