A 15-day sprint · For industrial B2B
The AI Answer Sprint is a 15-business-day service that shows an industrial company how it shows up in AI search and Google today, then builds the two things most worth fixing.
Not a report you file and forget. A baseline you can see in the first week, and two assets that exist by the last.
Why now
A buyer in your industry has a problem at 9pm. They don't call you. Not yet. They open ChatGPT, or Perplexity, or Google, and they ask. Somebody's expertise answers that question. Right now it probably isn't yours.
This is not a prediction. Forrester's 2026 survey found 94 percent of business buyers used AI during their most recent purchase, and 71 percent use AI search specifically to research vendors. G2 reports that half of B2B software buyers now start their research inside a chatbot, before they talk to anyone.
An AI answer doesn't hand the buyer ten options to compare. It names a handful, sometimes one. Being in that answer is the whole game now, and it is decided long before your first sales call.
The problem, specifically
Industrial firms are invisible to AI for two plain reasons, and neither is that your people don't know the answer. They know it cold.
First, the expertise lives in three or four senior heads and never makes it onto a page. Second, whatever did get written down is trapped in a PDF spec sheet or sitting behind a contact form. An AI cannot read what it cannot reach. If your tolerances, materials, certifications, and lead times live in a downloadable datasheet, they may as well not exist as far as an answer engine is concerned.
That's the whole problem. It's unglamorous, and it's fixable.
What the sprint delivers
What Google and the AI assistants say about you and three to five competitors today, captured as a dated benchmark you can measure against later.
The 30 to 50 real questions your buyers ask before they buy, ranked by intent and by how badly you answer each one right now.
How machines currently understand who you are and what you make, and where the trust signals they look for are missing.
The structured-data and content architecture that makes your expertise machine-legible. Built to spec. No ranking promise attached.
Your two highest-value buyer questions, answered properly, in your expert's real voice, and built. Not recommended in a slide. Built.
The prioritized backlog. What to publish, fix, and capture, in order, so the next quarter is already decided when I leave.
A 60-minute walkthrough and a written brief your leadership can act on without me in the room.
Plus: an SME interview kit, a buyer-tool concept spec'd for your niche, and a 30-day momentum check after the readout.
The part the last agency skipped
I will not promise you rankings. I will not promise you traffic, or that an AI will quote you by name. Nobody can promise that, and the ones who do are hoping you won't check.
Here is what I promise instead. At the readout you'll have a clear baseline, a ranked 90-day plan, and two assets built. If you look at all of it and don't believe it was worth more than you paid, I keep working at no additional cost until you do, or I refund the final invoice. Your call.
How the 15 days run
Kickoff call to agree the scope and the definition of done. I pull the AI and search baseline, run one 90-minute interview with your best technical person, and harvest the questions your buyers actually ask.
The entity and source audit, the ranked buyer-question map, and the content and schema model. I pick the two questions most worth building, and send you a one-paragraph note on what I'm seeing.
I draft and build the two flagship assets in your expert's voice, fact-checked against the interview. Schema goes in. The roadmap gets assembled. We meet for the readout.
Your time: about three hours, total.
Who it's for
A fit
Not a fit
What it costs
The first three clients pay 7,500 while I build the case studies. I'll tell you that on the call, because it's true and it's a reason to move now. After that it standardizes at 12,500.
I run three of these at a time. When the calendar's full, the next open start date is the constraint, not the price.
Straight answers
The AI Answer Sprint is a 15-business-day service that shows an industrial B2B company how it appears in AI search and Google today, then builds the two things most worth fixing. It is a diagnostic and a build, not a report you file and forget.
SEO tries to rank a page in a list of blue links. This is about being the answer an assistant gives when there is no list. A buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question and gets a handful of companies back, sometimes one. The work is making your expertise legible to that system. Different signals, different job.
I will not promise that, and anyone who does is telling you what you want to hear. Nobody controls what an AI cites, and Google says the same thing about rankings. What I promise is a clear baseline, a technically credible foundation, and a plan you own. The visibility follows the work. It is never guaranteed by it.
About three hours, total. One kickoff call, one interview with your best technical person, and one readout at the end. I do the rest. Your senior expert is the scarcest thing in the building, so I use as little of them as the work allows.
Fifteen business days. The first three clients pay 7,500 dollars while I build the case studies, then it standardizes at 12,500. Half to start, half at the readout, so you only pay the balance once you have seen the work.
A 50 to 500 person industrial firm that wins on expertise. A manufacturer, an industrial or MRO distributor, a maritime services company, a reliability or maintenance shop. Real knowledge in a few senior heads, a website that shows none of it.
Start
The whole thing starts with one plain question, and I'll answer it for free: when your buyers look you up, what do they actually find?
Email me and I'll pull a rough baseline for your company before we even talk. If it's where it should be, I'll tell you that too.
