What happens when you talk to Dan

A straight answer, fast Dan will tell you plainly if search is the wrong place for your money this quarter. You will know where you stand on the first call, and nobody sends you a deck you did not ask for.

The numbers before the contract We model what your non-branded keywords earn today and what they earn a few positions higher. You decide on forecast revenue with the working shown, and the plan runs in four-month sprints so you see movement early.

AI search gets its own plan Dan has spent the year saying publicly that ChatGPT is a channel in its own right. If your buyers now ask AI first, he will show you where your brand actually stands today and what it takes to get recommended.

Tell us where you are and Dan will come back with a straight view on whether search and AI search are worth your money, and what the numbers could look like if they are.
