The AI & Search Transformation, a six-month done-for-you build you then own

Get recommended on ChatGPT

Prepared for Emma Dodds, IDO Home · Confidential

The offer in one minute

Simple by design. One thing, done properly. We spend six months building your Search and AI foundations for you, get you certified AI-ready inside 90 days, and then hand you the system to own and run. No lock-in, no platform to learn, and you keep everything we build.

What you get

Three outcomes. We sell the outcome, not a pile of deliverables.

01
Stop renting your traffic
Capture the demand already searching, in Google and in AI, so you own a channel you control instead of paying for attention every month.
02
Be the brand AI recommends
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI for the best in your category, yours is the brand that shows up, gets quoted and gets clicked.
03
Own the system, not a vendor
We install a compounding asset your team can run. You are never stuck with an agency you cannot leave, because the whole thing is yours to keep.

The four pillars we build

Around 70 to 80% of this is proper SEO, done well with AI. Four pillars, scored out of 100 so progress is objective. Your current score is in section 2 of the strategy.

PillarYou todayWhat we build
1 · Technical15/25Site health, schema and GTINs, Core Web Vitals, AI crawler access, so engines can find, read and trust you. For IDO Home this starts with rebuilding all 68 collection pages, which currently carry a breadcrumb and nothing else.
2 · Content5/25Keyword and AI-prompt research into topic clusters, then the content that answers every question a buyer asks, in your voice. Around 100 to 150 pieces over the six months, a mix of brand-new articles and refreshed pages depending on what you need.
3 · Authority10/25The backlinks, digital PR, review-site placements and Reddit presence AI actually cites, so third parties vouch for you. Your Domain Rating of 3.4 is the ceiling on everything else, so this runs from day one.
4 · Measurement5/25One dashboard tying your Shopify, GA4, Search Console and AI visibility together, so the work is visible month to month.

How the six months run

1First 90 days: foundations + certified

We capture your baseline, fix the technical and product foundations, stand up your content engine and start your authority. Content production itself begins inside these first 90 days too: as soon as everything is calibrated to your tone of voice and brand guidelines, the pieces start shipping. By day 90 you are Certified AI-Ready at 80 out of 100, verified against a documented audit and Google's Rich Results Test. That milestone is yours to keep.

2Months 3 to 6: content + authority at pace

We build your content and authority hard: around 100 to 150 pieces across the six months, new and refreshed depending on your needs, plus the links and citations. Your visibility starts compounding across search and AI, and by month six you are transformed, ready to hand over.

3Month 6 onward: you own it

The foundations, the content, the links and your certification are yours, on your own low-cost platform login rather than a big agency retainer. From here it is your call how much support you want.

After the six months, it is yours

You keep everything and choose how to run it. Three ways forward, all on your terms.

Do it yourself
Keep the platform for a low monthly fee (hundreds, not thousands) and run it in-house in an hour or two a week.
Most brands pick this
Do it with us
Join the ecommerce accelerator community: weekly coaching, other Shopify brands on the same tools, strategy and back-end sessions.
We keep running it
Stay on a rolling retainer at the pace you choose and we keep the whole engine humming for you.
About the platform. We are building it right now, exclusively for Shopify brands, and refining the exact shape as we go. What is locked is the deal: you own the system, and the ongoing fee to keep and run it sits in the hundreds a month, not the thousands an agency charges. Because you come in during the build, you are one of the first clients on it, at this transformation rate, and the pricing will be the best in the industry.

The investment

PricingJump on a call with Ben to size the numbers to your goals and confirm the exact scope
After six monthsA low monthly platform fee to keep and run the system, or a rolling retainer if you want us on it
CommitmentA six-month build, then love it or leave it. No lock-in
If you leaveYou keep everything: the foundations, the content, the links, the strategy and your certification
Your timeOne to two hours a week during the foundations phase (access, calibration, sign-off), then a quick weekly check-in for the rest of the six months
The guarantee. Two promises, both in writing. One: we certify you AI-Ready at 80 out of 100 within 90 days, or we keep working, for free, until we do. Two: we guarantee you break even on your investment from properly attributed, non-branded organic and AI revenue, or we keep working free until you do. We are aiming at 5 to 10x over twelve months, and your own numbers put the conservative case well past the floor, but the floor is the bit we put our name to. Because you keep everything and can leave anytime, the risk of trying it is close to nil.

Why you can be confident

Organic already out-earns all your paid combined. This makes it deliberate instead of accidental.
