Fractional web & AI strategy

I tell you what to work on, not what’s trending.

For Series B and C teams that have to make real decisions this quarter.

What I offer

No agenda to protect

No vendor relationships, no account to grow. Just the right answer.

Which AI bets are worth it

Most AI investments won’t move your numbers. I find the ones that will.

A plan you can start now

Written, in order, with names on it. Your team runs it without me.

The diagnostic

Anyone can hand you a score. I tell you what’s causing it.

How AI search finds you What ChatGPT and Claude tell your buyers about you, and why.
How machines read your site What AI tools can actually pull from your pages, and what they get wrong.
How your content holds up Whether you’re saying something competitors aren’t, or filling a calendar.
Why hiring won’t fix it The problem is how your content is built, not how many people you have.

What I bring

More than twenty years on the web. Enough cycles to tell a real shift from a fad.

I’ve run content and web teams at developer tools companies, security platforms, publishers, and financial services organizations — usually as the only strategist in the room, with a small budget and a long list of priorities.

I don’t bring a template. I look at your buyers, your stack, your constraints, and what your team can actually take on.

Activity isn’t productivity.

If you can’t draw a line to a business outcome, it isn’t strategy.

Know what not to do.

Clarity about what to skip is worth as much as clarity about what to build.

Hype curves always flatten.

Build for where the technology lands, not where it peaks.

Two ways to work together

Fixed fee, six to eight weeks. A written diagnosis, a plan, and a working session with your team.

Ongoing Strategy

Three-month minimum, then month to month. I work with your team, not around them.
