01 · THE PROBLEM
Your pipeline doesn't have a growth problem.
It has a leak.
Three, actually. I’ve audited enough franchise funnels to know exactly where the money goes.
01
Ads that evaporate
Pause the budget, lose the pipeline. No asset built, no equity earned. Just a receipt. Every quarter starts back at zero.
02
Invisible in AI answers
Candidates ask ChatGPT which franchise to buy. Customers ask Perplexity where to go. If you’re not the answer, a competitor is.
03
Agencies that outsource you
$30K a month, a junior pod, and your account is slide 40 of somebody’s deck. You’re paying senior prices for hand-me-down work.
THE LEAK, VISUALIZED
The day ads stop, paid leads stop.
Organic is the opposite: every month of SEO and AEO work stacks on the last. That’s the difference between renting visibility and owning it.
Flip the switch. Watch the red line. Hover the chart to explore month by month.
You didn't build a brand this good to be everyone's best-kept secret.

02 · YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I'm Linz. This stuff jumps off the screen at me.
I’ve spent 22 years building and ranking WordPress sites, including a theme business I built and sold with 220,000+ customers. That domain still carries a DR 70 and 9 million lifetime backlinks, six years later. When the foundation is solid, it compounds.
Every engagement is me. The 46-hour audit, the strategy, the monthly report in plain English. No pods, no account-manager roulette. I’ve seen exactly where franchise funnels break, because I’ve rebuilt hundreds of them.
03 · THE PLAN
Three steps.
Zero mystery.
01
30 MINFree mini-audit
30 minutes. No slide deck. You leave with a ranked list of what I’d fix in your first 90 days, whether or not you hire me.
02
46+ HRSFull audit
46+ hours, done by hand. Every issue mapped and prioritized by revenue impact. Hand it to your team or hire me. You own the document.
03
ONGOINGMonthly program
The fix, then the engine. SEO, AEO, content, and reporting that compounds month over month, whether you’re advertising or not.
04 · WHAT I DO
One engine.
Four service lines.

05 · RECEIPTS
What the work
actually produces.
A regional construction brand came to me after two agencies and one "we've got AI covered" pitch. Twelve months of real work later:
84
technical issues found & fixed
13
location pages ranking page 1
3s
mobile load time (LCP), all core pages
12
straight months of organic growth
"The first SEO person who talked to us like adults".

08 · SMART SKEPTICS ASK
Fair questions.
Straight answers.
What is AEO, and why should I care?+
Answer engine optimization: making your brand the cited source when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews answer a question about your category. A growing share of franchise research and “best near me” searches start there now. The brands in those answers capture leads before a form fill ever happens.
How are you different from a traditional SEO agency?+
Two things. AI visibility reporting is on every engagement by default. Most agencies don’t track it yet. And I’m the senior practitioner on every file: no junior handoffs, no pod shuffles, no template decks.
How do you price?+
Flat monthly retainers tied to scope, not hours. Audits are a one-time fee. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll say so on the discovery call instead of circling back with a proposal.
Do you white-label for agencies?+
Yes. NDA up, audit work executed under your brand, deliverables shipped in your template. You own the client relationship. I stay invisible unless you want me on a call as “your senior SEO consultant.”
