What each one does

Growth Strategy

  • Defines your North Star metric and maps your customer funnel from acquisition to referral
  • Identifies which growth loop fits your business (viral, content, paid, or sales-driven)
  • Analyzes retention patterns to spot product-market fit issues or activation problems
  • Prioritizes growth experiments using impact, confidence, and ease scoring
  • Designs referral programs and selects the right acquisition channels for your stage

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
