A fractional CMO costs a fraction of a full-time marketing executive’s salary and benefits, because you pay only for the time and scope you need. Amplified scopes audits and assessments as fixed projects, prices technical work in a Statement of Work, and bills ongoing leadership and services monthly.
AI Search Optimization (AIO), also called generative engine optimization (GEO), helps AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews find, understand and recommend your business. It builds on SEO with structured data, answer-first content and consistent brand information.
Start with a consultation about your goals and current marketing. We recommend where to begin, whether that’s a Marketing & Digital Growth Assessment, a single project or ongoing fractional leadership, and send a scoped proposal before any work begins. Most engagements start within one to two weeks of approval.
No. Projects are scoped individually. Ongoing services begin with a six-month initial term, then continue month to month, and you can scale the engagement up or down as your needs change.
Yes. We can lead and mentor your internal team, manage your current agencies and freelancers, or fill specific skill gaps in areas like SEO, AIO, paid media and web development. Everyone works from one plan with shared metrics.
It depends on the channel. Paid media can drive targeted traffic within days of launch. SEO typically shows early gains within three months and stronger results by six, and AI visibility usually improves within three to six months as AI tools refresh their information.
Yes. We build new websites, redesign existing ones and refresh sites that need targeted improvements, with SEO, schema and AI search readiness built in from the start. A new website averages about 12 weeks and a refresh about 8, depending on size and complexity.
Let’s skip the generic marketing jargon. If you are trying to figure out how technical SEO, generative search, and AI are actually changing the way customers find your business—and want to know how to capitalize on it—pull up a chair; this list is for you.
