Illustrative deliverable
A local appliance-repair service · Content brief excerpt
The customer’s question

- Supported brands and models, assessment fees and exclusions.
- Make booking clear
- How to request availability and which details to have ready.
Proposed page
A verified local service page with the correct booking route.
What your customers ask.
These examples show where research can begin. We build the working question set around your actual customers, offer and markets.
- “Which appliance-repair providers serve my neighbourhood and work on my model?”
- “Which branch offers the service I need, and is it open on weekends?”
- “What should I check before booking, including price, availability and customer reviews?”
What your team receives.
Research becomes a working document, a draft to review or an action with a clear owner. Your proposal confirms which pages, markets and channels we cover.
- City and service-area research
- Map questions about the service, city, neighbourhood and practical constraints. Prioritise the locations you actually serve and identify where the answer needs branch-specific detail.
- Your handoffA location-and-intent question map for the agreed branch sample.
- Useful branch and service information
- Review pages against approved addresses, hours, service areas and branch offerings. Develop agreed content around real local differences and the correct booking route.
- Your handoffBranch-page briefs and agreed drafts with a factual review checklist.
- Local evidence and consistency review
- Check sampled local answers and their sources against approved branch facts. Compare relevant providers and record inconsistent hours, coverage or services for the responsible owner.
- Your handoffA source register and discrepancy log, organised by location and owner.
- A usable local website structure
- Review branch links, page accessibility, structured data and the path to a local inquiry. Flag duplicate or thin location content and unclear routes between service and branch pages.
- Your handoffPrioritised website recommendations for your publishing and development teams.
A clear start. A steady working rhythm.
The first month establishes the research, evidence and review process. Ongoing delivery begins on the schedule agreed in your proposal.
Your first month
- 1
Agree the questions and access
Choose priority audiences, markets and customer actions. Confirm the product facts, review owners and data we can use.
- 2
Document the starting point
Review the agreed AI answers, their sources and 3–5 relevant competitors. Check website foundations and prioritise the first content gaps.
- 3
Review a focused content pilot
Pilot a service-and-location page for an agreed branch. The local owner checks coverage, opening hours, service restrictions and the booking route.
Once the programme is running
Extend useful coverage across agreed locations, update branch changes and review local inquiries alongside sampled visibility and information accuracy.
- Weekly working meetings to unblock drafts, reviews and publishing.
- A shared record of content, community work, supplied-video publishing and open actions within the agreed scope.
- A monthly written review of delivery, visibility observations and the next priorities.
The shared monthly scope applies to the engagement. It is not multiplied by each market, use case or location, and the first-month scope is agreed separately.
Who does what.
Sementa prepares the work
We research questions, record the baseline, prepare agreed content and recommend technical changes. We keep the briefs, source notes and delivery register available for review.
Community work follows each platform’s rules and discloses brand relationships. Agreed YouTube work covers publishing and metadata; your team supplies final videos and thumbnails.
Your team supplies the source of truth
- Approved addresses, opening hours, service areas and branch-specific services.
- Current booking routes and authorised customer evidence.
- A local factual reviewer, a publishing owner and available inquiry reports.
Your team approves business claims, publishes website content and implements technical fixes.
Measure visibility and the next step.
An AI mention, a cited link and a customer action are different signals. We report them separately, using the data available.
- Visibility by location and intent
- Observe agreed city and service questions with location context recorded. Report each sample’s coverage so an observation in one city is not treated as coverage of the whole network.
- Accuracy of branch information
- Track incorrect hours, addresses, service areas or branch offerings in reviewed sources. Distinguish updates your team has made from corrections still controlled by a third party.
- Relevant local inquiries
- Review attributable website calls, booking requests or form inquiries where tracking is available. Separate those actions from confirmed appointments or store visits reported by your team.
AI answers change across tools, prompts, locations and time. Referrals do not capture every AI-assisted visit, and visibility alone does not establish a sale. We agree the baseline and measurement limits before work begins.
See the work behind the proposal.
Explore an illustrative visibility audit: the questions, source records, content gaps and next actions a team can review. The sample demonstrates a deliverable, not a client outcome.
Open the sample auditBring a real customer question.
We can use it to discuss the facts, sources and content your project would need. Your proposal sets the relevant scope and review criteria for your business.
Browse illustrative workA good fit when...
- You operate a chain, several branches or a local service business with clearly defined service areas.
- Your team can maintain an accurate record of each branch’s contact details, hours, services and booking process.
- You can provide genuine, authorised customer evidence and a local owner to review content and follow up on inquiries.
Before we start.
What does the initial location audit include?
We agree the branch sample, service questions and location context, then check sampled answers and cited public pages against your approved facts. The audit records the sources and discrepancies for each location. It does not treat an answer from one city as evidence for every branch.
Will you create a page for every city or neighbourhood?
Only where your business genuinely operates and the page can offer useful, distinct information. We prioritise real branch and service-area facts. Repeating the same text with a different city name does not help a customer evaluate the service.
Does this include managing store profiles or customer reviews?
The proposed GEO focus is research, website content recommendations and a review of public information. Store-profile operations and review management are not included by default. We can flag inconsistencies for your team; any use of customer reviews must be genuine, authorised where required and accurately represented.
How do you scope a business with many branches?
The proposal confirms priority cities, branches, service categories and the people responsible for factual updates. We can begin with a focused location sample. Delivery quantities apply to the agreed engagement, not automatically to every branch, and visibility observations do not establish foot traffic.
Can you connect website inquiries with completed visits?
Where your tracking supports it, we review identifiable calls, forms or booking requests. Completed appointments and store visits require your operational records. We keep those stages separate and document any missing connection between them.
Let’s map your next opportunity.
Share your website, priority market and the customer action that matters to you. We’ll build a scope around them.
