Decision checklist
Do you need product/service-level visibility, or is brand-only enough?
Do you need buyer profiles, themes and decision stages, or are generic prompts fine?
Do you want a prioritised action plan of actions, or do you just want monitoring dashboards?
Do you have a retesting cadence and reporting format (monthly/quarterly), or will this become a one-off audit?
Who will own execution: SEO team, content team, PR team, or a combined ‘answer strategy’ owner?
