SEO & AI Search Optimization

By C1 (Marketing)

Audit and improve your site's visibility in Google, ChatGPT, and AI-powered search.

Branding

• Guides you through discovery questions to define your positioning statement
• Creates a brand voice framework with specific traits and example sentences
• Provides checklists for naming, taglines, logo requirements, and visual direction
• Generates a full brand guidelines document with colors, typography, and usage rules
• Runs quality checks to ensure your brand is distinctive and applicable across channels

SEO & AI Search Optimization

• Audits your site for crawling, indexing, and technical SEO problems (page speed, mobile-friendliness, broken links)
• Reviews on-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, headings, keyword targeting, and content quality
• Checks if AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) can access and cite your content
• Recommends schema markup (structured data) to help search engines understand your pages
• Prioritizes fixes by impact (Critical/High/Medium/Low) so you know what to tackle first
