The demand programme, run as one

Organic accounts, reputation, lifecycle and conversion run as one programme, with fractional leadership above it for the companies that need the seniority before they can justify the salary.

The problem

Traffic is flat and the obvious lever is to spend more. But most of the traffic already arriving lands on pages that were never built to answer a buying question, so the spend gets blamed for a problem that lives after the click, and the pages that would answer it do not exist.

Recognise it

You are probably here if

If three or more of these are true, this pillar is where your constraint lives.

  • 01Most organic traffic hits pages with no commercial intent
  • 02Paid spend rises and pipeline does not
  • 03Nobody can say what a qualified lead costs on each channel
  • 04Content is published on a calendar rather than against a question
  • 05No one owns the mapping from search intent to page
Scope

What we actually do

Conversion work

Research, hypothesis, test, keep what wins. No redesign on a hunch.

Lifecycle automation

Email and in product sequences triggered by behaviour, not by a schedule.

Channel plan

Which platforms are worth the effort for what you sell, and which you should close instead of neglecting.

Content production

Posts, carousels, short video and photography, produced on a rhythm that survives a busy month.

Community

Replies, messages and comments handled inside a stated window, with anything we cannot answer routed to somebody who can.

Branded search audit

Everything the first two pages return for your name, your product and your founders, with who controls each one.

Review programme

Asking real customers at the moment they are most likely to say yes, and answering every review that arrives.

Fractional CTO

Architecture, hiring, roadmap and vendor decisions. Two to three days a week.

Fractional CGO

Growth leadership across marketing, sales and product analytics.

SOC 2 readiness

Gap assessment, remediation plan and evidence collection ahead of the audit.

Engagement

How it runs, and where you can stop

Each phase ends with something you own. Stopping after any of them leaves you better off than before it.

  1. 012-3w

    Research

    Intent mapping, competitor gaps, what your own data says, and what the ad account already proved before we arrived.

  2. 022w

    Architect

    The page map and the account structure: what merges, what gets written, what dies, and where paid covers a gap organic cannot reach this year.

  3. 03ongoing

    Execute

    Publish, link, launch, measure. Monthly on organic, weekly on spend, one standing report for both.

  4. 046mo+

    Compound

    Double down on the clusters and the campaigns that moved. Retire the ones that did not, on the same evidence.

Deliverables

What you receive

Artifacts, not a slide deck. Each one is usable by your team without us in the room.

  • Intent map from query to page, and from query to campaign
  • Technical SEO audit and fixes
  • Content architecture and page map
  • Ad account structure you own, with conversion tracking that survives a consent banner
  • Lifecycle sequences with triggers
  • One monthly report against pipeline and cost per qualified lead, by channel

Strong organic volume, weak pipeline, and a content library built on a publishing calendar rather than on intent.

Honesty

Not a fit if

We would rather lose the engagement on this page than at week six.

  • There is no offer to test yet, and the ask is for spend to find one
  • Nobody internally can approve deleting or merging existing pages
  • Success is defined as traffic, impressions or ROAS rather than qualified pipeline
Questions

Asked on almost every first call

How long before this works?

Paid moves inside a month, which is what it is for. Technical fixes move within weeks. Content architecture compounds over two to three quarters. We will tell you which of the three your quarter actually needs.

Do you run ads as well as SEO?

Yes, and preferably together. The same intent map decides both, so a query worth paying for and a query worth writing for stop being two separate arguments.

Who owns the ad account?

You do, from the first day. We work inside your account, your billing and your data. Leaving us means removing our access, not rebuilding a year of history.

Do you charge a percentage of spend?

No. A fee on spend pays us to spend more, which is the wrong incentive to hand the person choosing the budget. It is a monthly fee for the work.

Do you write the content?

We write the architecture and the briefs. We write the content too when the subject is technical enough that a generalist would get it wrong.

Bring the constraint, not the brief
