How we work
From a search question to an implementation plan.
The audit sprint gives your team a reliable baseline, a ranked list of improvements, and clear instructions for the next 90 days. It is a defined service you can buy before committing to ongoing work.
Week 1
Understand the buyer and establish the baseline
Agree the qualified-lead or activation definition. Review Search Console's available Web, Generative AI and multimodal data alongside analytics and CRM exports. Record the effective Search generative AI inclusion setting and establish a fixed buyer-prompt panel.
Deliverable: Baseline report, access checklist and agreed success measures.
Week 2
Verify how the site can be discovered and understood
Review priority pages, indexing and snippet eligibility, redirects, server and rendered content, and the path to an inquiry. Check factual claims, author information, metadata, alt text and structured data against the visible page and your source material.
Deliverable: Evidence-backed findings with severity, affected URLs and acceptance checks.
Week 3
Make the implementation work concrete
Write developer-ready fixes and a lead-source measurement specification. Choose the first content or conversion experiment and review one implementation round with your team.
Deliverable: Implementation backlog, measurement specification and one review.
Week 4
Review the evidence and choose the next investment
Repeat the agreed prompt panel, validate available conversion tracking, document unresolved dependencies and hand over a 90-day roadmap. Early movement is reported with its limitations.
Deliverable: Final report, decision meeting and prioritized next steps.
RankPropel owns
Analysis, the agreed prompt panel, recommendations, implementation specifications, review and reporting. For a separately scoped pricing-page sprint, we also implement and deploy that page.
Your team provides
A business owner, access or exports, accurate product information, timely approvals and a developer for audit fixes. Dates depend on receiving these inputs.
The evidence behind the plan
We distinguish official guidance, research and observations from your own site. Each finding includes its evidence, limitations and an acceptance check. An external score cannot diagnose a penalty or guarantee a citation.

- The RankPropel evidence-led method
We keep first-party impressions, sampled AI citations, referrals and conversions separate. AI-report impressions are already included in overall Search Console totals. Missing access or insufficient data is recorded as unknown.
Source review updated October 13, 2026. We verify report availability in your account and annotate relevant search updates before comparing periods.
The sprint can stand alone. Ongoing work begins only under a separate agreed scope. Client information stays private; it does not automatically become marketing material.
