00 The point of view
A page factory is easy.
A useful search product is hard.
Search engines don’t need another pile of interchangeable AI pages. Buyers need a better way to find, compare, and understand what is already hiding in your market.
So we start with intent, design the experience around it, and use automation only where it makes the result more useful and maintainable.
UX before templates
Each page type earns a custom information architecture—not a swapped-out keyword.
Quality before indexation
Structured inputs, page-level rules, and controlled sitemaps keep quality governable.
02 The build sequence
From search pattern
to living system.
Strategy, product design, engineering, and operations—one connected engagement.
Five connected phases01
RESEARCH
Find the search surface
We work with your team to map transactional intent, buying signals, and the page patterns worth owning.
Output / opportunity map02
DESIGN
Shape the experience
We design custom profile, category, location, or comparison pages around the job each visitor came to do.
Output / bespoke page UX03
ENGINEER
Build the data engine
AI, APIs, scraping, and first-party sources feed a structured database with rules you can maintain.
Output / database + pipelines04
LAUNCH
Publish with control
Pages and sitemaps populate automatically, with indexation managed around quality and search demand.
Output / production system05
GROW
Learn and expand
Search Console signals, weekly maintenance, and monthly planning show us what to improve or build next.
Output / operating roadmap03 Under the interface
Not a campaign.
A growth asset.
We build the connective tissue between your market data and the search experience: repeatable, inspectable, and ready to evolve as new opportunities appear.
Search Console access recommended
It gives us the cleanest feedback loop for promoting and improving newly generated pages.

07 Common questions
A few useful
answers up front.
Is every site filled with AI content?
No. We choose the right source for the job: AI enrichment, APIs, compliant scraping, your own data, or a mix. Merchantoria uses AI-assisted content; Podvertise and Brandvertisor were built before generative AI.
Do we need to provide Search Console access?
It isn’t required to start, but it is strongly recommended. Access helps us understand how new pages are being discovered, prioritize improvements, and build the next iteration around real search signals.
What changes the initial build price?
The main factor is how many genuinely different page types you need. Data sources, integration complexity, and the UX required for each type also shape the final scope inside the $6–8k range.
Is the monthly plan a full SEO/GEO retainer?
No. The $1,200 monthly plan keeps the product maintained and moving through weekly chats, updates, and monthly planning. We also advise on best practices and can recommend specialist SEO/GEO partners if the wider strategy needs them.
How many pages will you publish?
The research decides that—not an arbitrary package limit. We focus on page patterns with real intent and enough differentiated value to deserve indexing, then expand where the data supports it.
08 Start with the pattern
What could your market become?
Bring a domain, a customer, and the rough shape of an idea. We’ll start by mapping the search surface around it.
