Industries
Industries where the system works.
Local Service
Plumbers, roofers, dentists, landscapers — businesses that win when they own the local map pack and surrounding content.
Professional Services
Lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, and consultants — authority sites that build trust before the first call and turn organic search into qualified leads.
E-commerce
Category architecture, faceted navigation, PDP schema, and the content that earns links without being a blog.
Healthcare & Medical
Doctors, dentists, physios, and specialists — YMYL-compliant authority sites built to satisfy Google's highest E-E-A-T standards and dominate local search.
Creators & Personal Brands
Moving from platform-dependent to platform-independent — an authority site as the hub of your media empire.
SaaS & B2B
Comparison pages, programmatic SEO, and the content architecture that turns search intent into pipeline.
Factual comparison content earns 40% of AI citations. The algorithm didn't change the doctrine — it validated it.
