Launch Strategy vs SEO & AI Search Optimization

Two marketing & growth skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

Launch Strategy

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Plan product launches, feature releases, and go-to-market campaigns that build momentum.

SEO & AI Search Optimization

By C1 (Marketing)

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

What each one does

Launch Strategy

  • Creates phased launch plans from internal testing through full public release
  • Structures marketing across owned (email, blog), rented (social media), and borrowed (partnerships) channels
  • Provides Product Hunt launch strategies including pre-launch prep and day-of tactics
  • Suggests launch touchpoints like customer emails, in-app announcements, and social posts
  • Recommends ways to build waitlists, early access programs, and invite-only momentum

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
