Slide 1: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Growth Plan

Confidential · October 2026

Slide 2: Build Incendii’s growth system now, while the firm adds capacity.

Executive summary

01 · Opportunity

Clients research before they call

Incendii is adding a partner and an office while high-value clients increasingly research lawyers across AI, Google, social and the press before they make contact. No single system owns that path today.

02 · Recommendation

Foundation, then 12 months of growth

Rebuild the website so search engines and AI can read it, then run a 12-month program across AI answers, search, content, social and the press, measured from first mention to signed client.

03 · Target

2 signed clients a year

About $360,000 in potential gross fees in year one, plus measurable growth in qualified inquiries. Targets, not guarantees. Investment follows the plan.

Slide 4: Confidential

Why now · 01 The firm is changing

Incendii's Inflection Point.

Incendii is approaching an inflection point. Our partnership establishes, systemizes and optimizes for the firm to take on more clients that fit the firm's growth strategy.

01

New partner

More capacity to take on cases, be a bigger force in the industry and have more expertise.

02

New location

A second office gives the firm a larger presence and another local signal for search and AI.

03

New clients

A growing caseload. Tracking starts now, so every new inquiry can be traced to where it came from.

The baseline is set before these changes land, so year-one growth shows up clearly against last year.

Slide 5: Among AI Users, AI Has Overtaken Google as Where Purchase Research Starts.

The shortlist forms before the website visit. Among consumers already using AI to shop, AI now leads Google as the first research stop.

Slide 6: Today, incendiilaw.com gives search engines and AI little to work with.

Why now · 03 Where Incendii stands today

FindingWhat it means
Built on SquarespaceA template platform with limited control over structured data, speed and AI crawler settings.
No page descriptionsHome, About and Practice have no meta description, so Google and AI write their own summary.
Generic structured data onlyThe site tells machines it is “a website,” not a law firm. No LegalService, Attorney or FAQ markup.
One page for every practice areaNo dedicated page per practice area for AI or Google to match to a specific question.
3 articles publishedThe newsletter holds three posts, so there is little for AI to quote or cite.
No llms.txt, no click-to-callNo guide file for AI agents, and no tap-to-call link on the home page.

Checked on incendiilaw.com, October 28, 2026. Not yet measured: how often ChatGPT, Gemini and Google name Incendii, and which firms they name instead. That baseline is the first deliverable, in month one.

Slide 7: Make Incendii the answer.

Mission

01

Increase Visibility

From AI answers, social media, Google, third party press and attorney referral network.

02

Increase Traffic

From humans and AI chatbots - tracked, systemized and optimized.

03

Increase Leads

From people who need help and are qualified for Incendii to take on as clients.

This plan covers the methodology, timeline and strategy to hit the desired KPIs.

Slide 8: Two Main KPIs To Measure.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

01

Qualified inquiries

Potential clients that have engaged with our marketing, taken action and are qualified to be brought on as a client.

Qualified inquiries — People who contact the firm about a matter that fits its practice areas

Signed clients — Qualified inquiries that become signed cases

Compared with the same months last year — So seasonality can’t flatter the numbers

02

Brand visibility

When specific prompts and queries are typed into AI chatbots, social media and the internet, Incendii shows up high in the ranks and with a positive sentiment.

AI answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude

Search and press — Google, Bing, Brave, client reviews, news outlets, podcasts, legal media

Social video — LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts

Slide 9: PSG builds a seven-stage funnel that is consistently optimized.

Methodology · The funnel

Signed clients: qualified inquiries that become signed cases

Slide 10: Four key strategic channels for one blended approach.

Legend: “yes” = the channel moves that metric. “no effect” = little direct effect. Columns run from top of funnel (left) to bottom of funnel (right).

Slide 11: A Custom Dashboard for Tracking Progress.

Methodology · Tracking

01

AEO

Where Incendii and Annie show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews. 30–60 prompts, run every week.

02

Social media

Views, watch time, shares and saves, per post and per platform.

03

Website traffic

Who visits the site and where they came from. People and AI agents are tracked separately.

04

Inquiries + signed

Qualified inquiries and signed clients. Counted, never named.

Victoria

PSG’s custom reporting agent made for Incendii. A 24/7 agent that communicates on email and will provide statistics, insights and all key information regarding the growth marketing plan.

Slide 12: Attribution Measured for Humans and Agents.

Methodology · Attribution

People

Human visitors

GA4 · gtag.js custom “AI Assistants” channel group — Referrals from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com, copilot.microsoft.com

UTM source / medium / campaign on every link — Each social post, press piece and podcast gets its own tagged link

GSC Bing WMT CF Web Analytics search + cookieless counts

Intake hidden source fields + “How did you hear about us?”

Machines

AI agents and crawlers

Cloudflare AI Crawl Control every verified bot hit, by page

Training crawlers — GPTBot · ClaudeBot · Google-Extended · Applebot-Extended · CCBot

Search indexers — OAI-SearchBot · PerplexityBot · Googlebot · Bingbot

Live user agents — ChatGPT-User · Claude-User · Perplexity-User: a person asked an AI, and it opened our page

Attribution chain: AI bot reads a page (Workers + Logpush) → an AI answer cites it → a person clicks or calls → intake records the source

Slide 13: Initial Assessment to Track Marketing Growth Above Baseline.

AEO technical scorePSG 45-point check| 100 / 100 by month 2

Recorded in the first 30 days. Leads are compared with the same period last year, so the year-one result is lift over what the firm already gets.

Slide 14: A Diverse Prompt Set to Track Commercial, Informational & Competitor Intent.

Methodology · Prompt set

Commercial intent · ~40%

Looking to hire

“Best lawyer for revenge porn cases in New York”

“Brooklyn attorney for online harassment”

“Lawyer for a teacher fired after a public scandal”

Informational intent · ~40%

Trying to understand

“Can I sue someone for sharing my intimate images in New York?”

“What do I do if I’m being shamed online?”

“Can I be sued for defamation for reporting harassment?”

Competitor intent · ~20%

Comparing firms

“[Competitor firm] vs. Incendii Law”

“Alternatives to [competitor firm] for sextortion cases”

“Top privacy law firms in NYC”

How PSG picks them: internal agents test hundreds of candidate prompts and keep the ones with real search demand, answers that shift day to day (so they can be won), and a clear intent. Examples are illustrative; the final set is chosen from the data. Recommended: 30–60 prompts.

Slide 15: First-party content: what Incendii owns and publishes itself.

Slide 16: The new site is built to help AI agents trust and recommend Incendii.

Content · Website security

01 · Hosting

Static site on Cloudflare Pages

No WordPress, no database, no plugins. Nothing on the server for an attacker to break into.

02 · Edge

WAF and DDoS protection

Cloudflare’s managed rulesets and rate limiting stop attacks before they reach the site.

03 · Transport

TLS 1.3, HSTS, DNSSEC

Every connection is encrypted, and the domain can’t be spoofed or hijacked at the DNS level.

04 · Intake form

Turnstile, not CAPTCHA

Blocks spam bots without a puzzle and without tracking the person filling it in.

05 · Data

Nothing stored on the site

Form submissions go through an encrypted Cloudflare Worker straight to the firm. PSG never sees the contents.

06 · Privacy

No ad pixels on intake pages

Strict Content-Security-Policy headers. Zero Trust Access login on the dashboard.

Slide 17: Third-party content: What Others Say About Incendii.

Content · Third-party

AI models often weigh what other sites say about a firm more heavily than what the firm says about itself.

01

Press

Expert-source requests (Qwoted, Featured, Source of Sources) answered daily. Direct pitches to reporters on the beat.

02

Podcasts

Guest bookings on survivor, legal, tech-abuse and women’s-interest shows. Each episode becomes clips and an article.

03

Speaking

CLE panels and bar associations first, then conferences, then keynote stages.

04

Reviews + directories

Google Business Profile, Avvo, Justia, Super Lawyers. Reviews requested within NY attorney advertising rules.

5+ targeted pitches every month. PSG pitches on Annie’s behalf and confirms with her before anything is accepted.

Gross fee left after the year’s investment$88,000
Year-one target: 2 signed clients (3.9× the year-one investment)$360,000

Sized for a 30-case practice

Hundreds of cold leads would swamp intake. The aim is a few high-value clients who arrive already sold on Annie.

One case you would have lost

Break-even needs one extra case a year that would otherwise have gone to a competitor.

An asset that keeps working

The site, articles and AI citations stay after year one and keep bringing in cases.

Illustrative only: gross fees before firm costs, and fees may arrive after year one. PSG takes no share of legal fees.
