Highest-leverage gaps for Excella

  • Wikipedia

    Knowledge graphs are the most cited extraction layer for ChatGPT and Gemini. Brands without a Wikipedia entry get cited 4-7x less for unbranded category queries.

  • Crunchbase

    Crunchbase is the canonical company-data source for LLM enrichment. A missing profile leaves LLMs without firmographics.

  • G2

    G2 reviews feed comparison and 'best X' query responses. Missing G2 presence is a high-leverage gap for B2B SaaS.

  • Capterra

    Capterra listings drive comparison-style answers. Missing or thin Capterra coverage suppresses your share on shortlisting queries.

  • TrustRadius

    Enterprise B2B buyers research here. Feeds comparison-style LLM responses on category queries.

How It Works

Audit. Publish. Compound.

3 phases focused on one outcome: more Excella citations across the answer engines your buyers use.

1

SEO + AEO Audit & Roadmap

You'll know exactly where Excella is losing buyers — across Google search and the answer engines they ask before they ever click.

We score 50-100 "technology consulting services" queries across Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Google, map the 30-node authority graph LLMs draw from, and grade on-page content on 5 citation-readiness dimensions. Output: a 90-day publishing plan ranked by lift × effort.

2

Publishing Sprints That Win Both

Buyers start finding Excella on Google AND in the answers ChatGPT and Perplexity hand them.

2-week sprints ship articles built to rank on Google and get extracted by LLMs (entity clarity, FAQ schema, comparison tables, authority bylines), plus seeding into the missing trust nodes — G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, Wikipedia, and the rest. Real publishing, not strategy decks.

3

Compounding Share, Every Week

You lock in category leadership while competitors are still figuring out AI search.

Weekly re-scan tracks ranking + citation share vs. the leaders this audit named. New unbranded "technology consulting services" queries get added to the publishing queue automatically. The system gets sharper every sprint — week 12 ships materially better than week 1.

You built a strong technology consulting services. Let's build the AI search engine to match.
