How It Works
From discovery to deployment — our process for engineering digital authority
Your Journey With Us
We built the process around one principle: you should know exactly what is happening, why it is happening, and what comes next at every stage. Eight steps from inquiry to delivery. Each one exists for a reason. Here is how we work.
Inquiry
Submit our contact form, message us on WhatsApp or Telegram, email us, or book a call below. Tell us what you are building, what is not working, and where you want to be. No chatbots. No funnel. You reach a real person immediately.
Discovery Call
A 30-minute call where we evaluate your business, competitive landscape, and digital positioning. Engagements are by application and mutual fit — most prospects are not a fit, and we accept only one brand per industry. If we proceed, we outline what an engagement would look like.
The Engagement Diagnostic
A paid 3-week diagnostic powered by our proprietary 450+ point audit framework — 15 categories spanning AEO readiness, GEO scoring, AI entity authority, technical infrastructure, schema architecture, content authority, citation graph, competitive positioning, and Core Web Vitals. You receive a confidential strategic briefing with prioritized findings; the audit framework, scoring methodology, and underlying data remain DSF proprietary IP. $25,000.
Engagement Proposal
Following the Diagnostic, you receive a proposal scoped to the right working mode — Strategic Advisory, Managed Programs, or Bespoke Builds — with Managed and Build available as a pairing for flagship launches. Exact deliverables, exact timeline, exact investment. We do not sell packages.
Engagement Letter
Engagement letter signed. Strategic Advisory and Managed Programs both bill monthly with a 1-month minimum — no lock-in. Bespoke Builds bill on milestones tied to deliverables. Wire transfer or ACH — no procurement portals, no surprises.
Kickoff & Onboarding
Structured kickoff. Scope locked. Communication channels established. Reporting structure set. You get a direct line to the people doing the work — not an account manager playing telephone. Full visibility from the first day.
Execution & Delivery
For immersive builds, you see working prototypes in your browser — not flat mockups. For AEO, GEO, and SEO, you get monthly reports tracking citations, rankings, and traffic. Milestone check-ins at every stage. We do not vanish for weeks and resurface with a reveal. You see the work as it happens.
Review & Ongoing Support
Full handoff with documentation and a walkthrough of everything we built and why. Managed services clients continue with monthly strategy calls and ongoing optimization. Project clients get post-launch support and a direct line for future work. We build partnerships, not invoices.
