Fractional executive role
Fractional Search & AI Visibility Strategist
Buyers no longer find you in ten blue links. They ask an AI and get one answer. I lead, as a fractional executive, the work that makes your brand the one that answer recommends.
A Fractional Search & AI Visibility Strategist is a part-time executive who owns how a brand appears in both classic search and AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — and treats that visibility as a measurable, compounding growth channel rather than a one-off campaign.
What this role actually does
Search & answer-engine visibility
Where buyers used to type a query into Google and click a link, they now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — and get one synthesized answer. I make sure your brand is the one those engines recommend.
Fractional leadership, not a project
This is a fractional executive engagement, not a one-off audit. I join your leadership team part-time, own search and AI visibility as a growth channel, and build the systems your team can run after the engagement ends.
Systems, not tactics
AI visibility compounds when it is engineered into your content, data, PR and measurement — not bolted on as prompts. I build the operating system that makes your brand discoverable by people and by AI.
How the engagement works
Baseline
Measure how AI answer engines describe your brand today, benchmarked against competitors, and map the queries that matter to your category.
Engineer visibility
Build the content, structured data, and external signals that make AI engines cite and recommend you — aligned to how each engine sources and synthesizes answers.
Govern & compound
Put a measurement loop in place so visibility is tracked over time, and the system keeps compounding as answer engines and your category evolve.

What is a Fractional Search & AI Visibility Strategist?
A fractional executive who owns how your brand appears in search and in AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — as a measurable growth channel. Fractional means part-time leadership embedded in your team, not a one-off project or a tool.
How is this different from an SEO consultant?
SEO optimizes for the ten blue links. AI visibility optimizes for the one answer an engine gives. A Search & AI Visibility Strategist owns both the classic search surface and the synthesized-answer surface, and treats them as one connected system.
Why fractional?
Search and AI visibility need executive judgment, not just execution — and most growth-stage companies do not need a full-time hire yet. A fractional engagement gives you senior leadership, a built system, and a team trained to run it.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We track how often your brand is mentioned in AI answers across engines, what is said about you, how you rank against competitors, and how that converts into pipeline. The AI Visibility Audit is the starting point.
