The scope is built around your growth priorities, markets, internal capabilities, and budget. It can combine fractional CMO leadership with SEO, AEO, GEO, paid media, content, web development, conversion optimization, CRM, and reporting. Channels, deliverables, owners, and approval workflows are agreed before work begins.
Yes. Summit can provide fractional leadership where there is a gap, or support an existing marketing leader with specialist strategy and execution. The aim is one operating plan with clear ownership, not another competing chain of command.
No. Technical accessibility, useful content, internal linking, and credible information remain foundational. AEO and GEO describe complementary work around answer clarity, source quality, brand consistency, and discovery across AI-assisted experiences. The amount of overlap varies by site and channel; there is no universal 75% formula.
No. Search and AI platforms control which results they show, and responses can vary by query, location, context, and model. We focus on the things we can improve: access, quality, relevance, authority, conversion, and measured testing. We do not sell guaranteed placements.
We agree commercial KPIs first, then connect them to channel and website signals where the data allows. Reporting can include qualified leads, pipeline, acquisition efficiency, revenue, organic performance, and documented AI-visibility samples. Attribution limitations and the difference between sampled visibility and actual traffic are made explicit.
The first step is a strategy conversation to define scope, access requirements, stakeholders, and priorities. Timing and investment depend on the size and complexity of the engagement. Your proposal will state the work, sequencing, fees, and responsibilities; the optional budget field on this page is not a price quote.
