AI network — connected systems for DTC marketing

Start with AI Content + AEO Visibility — it opens with a free AI Visibility and AEO diagnostic that costs nothing and tells you whether there's a problem worth solving.

You'll see where you show up across Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, and Gemini, who's getting cited instead of you, and what that gap is worth per month. If the number's small, I'll tell you.

If you're building a new website or redesigning an existing one, AEO Web Design builds it correctly from the beginning — a standalone service, scoped separately.

If your team already has AI tools and is getting inconsistent output from them, Claude Cowork Training for Marketing Ops is the faster entry instead.

An AI marketing consultant for DTC brands helps founder-led businesses rebuild how they get found, convert, and retain customers — for the way buyers actually make decisions now. That means strategy first: diagnosing what's not working and why, then rebuilding the marketing infrastructure to fix it using AI-powered systems.

The difference between a DLaurie AI engagement and a traditional marketing consultant: the deliverable isn't a strategy deck. It's a rebuilt system your team can operate independently, built around how buyers find products today.

If your team has AI tools and is getting inconsistent output from them, you're ready. No prior AI experience required.

The only real prerequisite is a genuine question your team's already stuck on — training starts there instead of a generic curriculum, using your brand's own context as the example.

What you keep is the knowledge — how to use Cowork, its advanced features, and how to connect it to your other tools, so your team isn't relying on YouTube and trial and error anymore.

Because ranking in Google's top 10 and being cited by AI are now two different jobs.

The overlap between them collapsed from around 75% in mid-2025 to somewhere between 17% and 38% in 2026. Five out of six AI citations come from pages that don't rank in the top 10 at all. Meanwhile 68% of US searches end without a click — 93% inside Google's AI Mode.

So your rankings can hold perfectly steady while the traffic they used to produce quietly disappears. If you're paying an agency for search, you're buying one of those two jobs and getting nothing on the other.

The free AI Visibility and AEO diagnostic inside AI Content + AEO Visibility shows you which one you're losing, and what it's costing.

Most AI training fails at adoption — not because the content is bad, but because it's delivered as theory with no connection to how the team actually works.

Every DLaurie AI training session is built around your team's actual marketing tasks — the specific workflows your brand needs to run. We build them live, inside the session, on real work. By the time training ends, your team has already operated the system. That's why adoption sticks.

A marketing agency runs your marketing and creates a dependency — when the contract ends, so does the output. You're renting execution, not building capability.

DLaurie AI rebuilds your marketing strategy and builds the systems your team needs to execute it — then trains your team to run both independently. The goal of every engagement: when we're done, you don't need me anymore. You have a rebuilt strategy, the systems to execute it, and a team that owns the operation.

That's a fundamentally different model — and a fundamentally different result.

Results depend on your starting point, but documented outcomes across engagements include:

  • Organic search traffic and purchases that grow without depending on paid ad spend
  • A marketing team that operates independently — no vendor dependency after handoff
  • 8–12 hours per week recovered from manual marketing tasks

One client — a founder-led Wellness DTC Brand that rebuilt their marketing strategy and infrastructure from the ground up — produced +500% organic purchases, +472% search clicks, and +262% active users in under 6 months.

No. DLaurie AI works with founder-led DTC brands across categories — wellness, apparel, home goods, beauty, food and beverage, and more.

The strategy and systems aren't category-specific. What matters is business stage ($250K–$10M+ revenue), team structure (founder-led with a small team or solo operator), and the commitment to rebuilding — not just adding more tools on top of a strategy that isn't working.

The AI Visibility and AEO diagnostic that opens AI Content + AEO Visibility is free. Nothing to buy, no obligation afterward.

Paid engagements are scoped individually based on team size, current setup, and depth of work — and priced against the visibility gap the diagnostic surfaces, not against an agency rate card. If the gap turns out to be small, I'll say so and we're done.

That's the right order: find out what the problem is worth before anyone talks about what fixing it costs.

It varies by service. The free AI Visibility and AEO diagnostic that opens AI Content + AEO Visibility is a scoped review of your highest buying-intent queries. Cowork Training for Marketing Ops is typically two to three working sessions. The full AI Content + AEO Visibility engagement runs until the fix is built and handed off — scoped per engagement, not fixed to a calendar. Not a months-long retainer.

The goal of every engagement is to move fast and build something your team can own and operate independently. Exact timelines confirmed on the discovery call.

All DLaurie AI engagements are delivered virtually, which means your team can participate from anywhere.

Cowork Training for Marketing Ops sessions run live over video — not pre-recorded, not asynchronous. Real training sessions with your actual team, using your brand's own context as the example. Whether your team is fully remote, distributed across time zones, or in a single location, the format works.

Fair question. It's why every engagement is built around your brand's actual marketing challenges — not generic demos. By the time the work is handed off, your team has already operated the system on real work.

If you hit walls during implementation, follow-up support is included. And the free AI Visibility and AEO diagnostic that opens AI Content + AEO Visibility exists specifically to de-risk the decision — it shows you exactly where you stand and who's outranking you, before anyone commits to anything.
