A thousand defensible tasks. I find the ones worth doing.
One site or many locations, every growth story starts in the data. I find the pieces, connect them, and turn them into a plan that drives visibility and revenue.
Send your site first. I'll run a preliminary scan so the call starts with findings, not questions.
leading growth
- Google search
- Local and map packs
- AI answers
- Social at scale
- Portfolio strategy
Search and AI growth for multi‑location brands and publishers with tens of millions of readers.
One program across Google, local, and AI answers, built on consolidation, location pages, and the right page for every query.
Organic traffic estimates via Ahrefs. AI visibility via Ahrefs and Semrush, Oct 2026. Client names withheld.
The bigger the footprint, the more places growth can hide.
Every roadmap has a thousand defensible things on it, and many of them won't change the numbers. My job is to dig in and find exactly what will.
Growth has flattened, and nobody can say why with confidence.
I read every signal across your sites and channels and tell you what's actually holding growth back, ranked by what it's worth.
AI answers and search changes are moving traffic faster than the plan is changing.
I find which buyer questions AI answers now handle, which sources they cite instead of you, and which scaled pages carry risk in Google and AI answers at the same time.
Some locations or sites far outperform others, and no one has pinned down why.
I compare your best and worst performers across location pages, listings, reviews, and map packs, and turn the difference into a playbook the rest can follow.
Your sites compete with each other more than with real competitors.
I map the overlap, decide what to merge, redirect, or retire, and turn the collection into a portfolio built for growth.
Your agency is busy and the reports look fine, but the business isn't growing.
I reset priorities around revenue and give your agency work that shows up in the numbers.
One growth program. Not four vendors.
Search, local, and AI answers run off one model of what each site, page, and location is worth, so every decision is made once.
Portfolio and search strategy
Which sites, sections, and pages to grow, merge, or retire. Migrations and consolidations planned before anything moves.
Local and location performance
Location pages, listings, reviews, and map packs, compared market by market so the best locations set the standard.
Prioritization for teams already executing
What to stop, who owns what, and the order to do it in, for your team or the agency shipping the work.
AI answers (AEO/GEO)
What AI answers say about you, what they cite, and what changes it.
AEO/GEO is the work of getting AI answers to find, trust, and cite your pages. Each answer is built from a handful of sources, and often those are review sites, forums, or a competitor.
I don't run it as a separate channel. It runs off the same opportunity model as search and local, so a location page that's weak in search and missing from AI answers gets one decision, not two projects.
How the AI visibility audit works →Fractional growth leadership
From a single engagement to an ongoing seat at the table, before a full-time hire makes sense.
Experience decides where to look.
Custom tools let me look everywhere.
Fifteen years tells me which questions matter. The tools I've built answer them across tens of thousands of pages, locations, and posts at once.
Opportunity models
Tier tens of thousands of pages or locations by what each is actually worth, then assign every tier one action.
Answer-engine audits
Whether AI assistants can identify your brand and cite your pages, and the structure that's missing when they can't.
Location comparisons
Best and worst performers side by side across pages, listings, reviews, and map packs.
Social audience models
Past follower counts: what earns reach, what a follower is worth over time, and where audience growth turns into revenue.
Brief and research automation
Research-backed briefs, competitor and topic-gap analysis, and quality control that run without me in the room.
The rhythm of every engagement
Analyze
I connect to what you have, fill the gaps, and run the models across every site and location.
Decide
Every page or location gets a tier and one action, sized, owned, and in order.
Prove
The first tier ships. I measure against the baseline and report what moved.
Repeat
What worked becomes the next plan. What didn't gets stopped.
Timing depends on the footprint and how fast your team ships. You'll get a dated plan after the first call, not a template.
What you have after the diagnostic.
Five things you keep, whether or not anything comes next. Written so a CFO can follow them.
- Opportunity modelEvery page or location tiered by what it's worth, each with one action.
- Stop listWork that costs time and won't change the numbers.
- AI-answer baselineWhat AI answers say and cite for a fixed set of your buyer questions, dated so it can be rerun.
- Ordered roadmapOwner, sequence, and expected size for each move.
- Measurement planThe one report that will show whether it worked.
Strategy, leadership, and the work itself.
Diagnostic
A fixed-scope read of the whole footprint. Ends with the opportunity model, stop list, and ordered roadmap, and it's yours to keep.
Strategy and execution
I scope the work and get it shipped: migrations, consolidations, location page programs, content and briefs, and AI-answer fixes. Delivered with your team, your agency, or specialists I bring in and manage.
Fractional growth seat
Ongoing senior growth leadership before a full-time hire makes sense. A standing working session, a seat in agency and leadership reviews, and direct access to me.
Agency behind the agency
Senior strategy and delivery on large accounts, migrations, and escalations, white-labeled under your brand, plus growth systems your team can sell.
There's no public rate card. Scope depends on how many sites, locations, and markets are in play. The booking form has a private budget field.
Jedediah Hunt
15+ years on both sides of growth: running a multi-site publisher's search program, and leading enterprise search strategy at an agency for franchise, real estate, and financial brands. The highest-impact findings are often deep in the data, past what busy teams have time to reach. I built the tools to get there, and every engagement runs on them.
You work with me from the first call to the last report. No account managers, no hand-off to a junior team.
Straight answers.
Anything else, ask on the call.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes, in two ways. Senior strategy behind your large accounts, migrations, and escalations, delivered through your team. And growth systems that cut the hours your team spends on research, audits, and reporting, which you can turn into new services for your clients.
What if we already have an agency?
Keep them. I set direction and priorities, and they ship. Or I lead the work directly.
Who actually does the work?
I lead strategy and make the calls. Execution runs through your team, your agency, or specialists I manage, and you'll know who before they start.
What do we keep?
Everything. Plans, specs, models, and reporting.
Can you name past clients?
Yes, on request, where agreements allow.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope: the footprint and the shape of the work. The booking form has a private field for budget if you have one in mind, and we'll talk it through on the call.
How soon will we see results?
You'll see early findings before any big decisions get made. Traffic results depend on the channel and how fast your team ships, and I'll give you a realistic range once I've seen your data.
Is AI search a separate project?
No. AI answers run inside the same program as search and local, off the same opportunity model. One decision per page or location, not two projects.
Let's find what's worth acting on.
A 30-minute call. Send your site first. I'll run a preliminary scan so the call starts with findings, not questions.
The scan looks at
- How your sites or locations split search demand, and where they overlap
- What AI answers say and cite for a few of your buyer questions
- Local and map-pack presence in a sample of your markets
You'll leave with at least one thing worth doing, whether we work together or not.
And a straight answer on whether a diagnostic is worth it.Thanks. Your details and preferred times are on their way.
