Is this just schema markup?

No. Schema is the output—we build the infrastructure. We architect a Source-of-Truth graph that models your entities, relationships, and capabilities in formats AI systems trust. The result is a governed, versioned data layer that powers AI citations across every surface. Schema is just how we deliver it.

Will this mess with SEO or our dev stack?

No replatforming or CSS/JS entanglement. We deliver an isolated, namespaced JSON-LD bundle that sits alongside your pages and plays nicely with your CMS. It’s additive to SEO because it clarifies the source of truth. We coordinate with your SEO/dev leads before anything ships.

How fast until we see changes?

AI Authority Audit: immediate competitive intelligence. Blueprint: 3–4 weeks to architect and deploy your infrastructure. Citation lift varies by platform, but most teams see 20-40% increases within 45 days as AI systems index the new data layer and begin citing your structured facts.

How do you measure success?

We track citation share, answer authority, and visibility across your mapped queries. Metrics include: owned-citation percentage, entity coverage, query dominance, and competitive displacement. Every change links to the graph node that produced it, with before/after screenshots. We can roll metrics into a single visibility score for exec dashboards.

What’s the developer lift?

Light. Drop-in JSON-LD plus a few targeted content patches; no migrations or CMS rebuilds. Dev pairing is included for implementation and verification.

Do you work with agencies or only in-house teams?

Both. Agencies bring us in for authoritative data modeling; in-house teams use us to correct misquotes and harden the brand graph before launches. We’re complementary to SEO content programs.

Public-web first; we avoid PII. AI Authority Audits use publicly available pages and screenshots. If private access is required for infrastructure work, we use least-privilege scopes and NDAs.

What if a platform doesn't adopt our data?

We design for observability and iteration. If a platform resists, we diagnose why—weak signals, crawl issues, or competitive saturation—then adjust. We reinforce graph signals, optimize retrieval paths, and verify adoption with live tests. You see every adjustment and its impact.

How is Kodec different from our SEO agency?

SEO thinks in keywords and rankings. We think in entities, intent, and retrieval architecture. Your SEO team optimizes for human search; we build the infrastructure that makes AI systems cite you as the authoritative source. We're engineers, not marketers—complementary to SEO, but solving a fundamentally different problem.

Can our in-house developers handle this?

Yes. Your devs own implementation; we provide the diagnosis, architecture, and verification fixtures, and we pair with them to ship quickly. Most teams integrate within days once the Blueprint lands.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Three phases: 1) Discovery—audit your AI visibility and competitive positioning. 2) Architecture—design and build your Source-of-Truth graph with governance. 3) Deployment—publish infrastructure, verify citations, and enable your team to maintain it. Optional: Ongoing Shield for monitoring and reinforcement.

Is the Foundation Blueprint a one-time project or a retainer?

Blueprint is a one-time strategic project. For proactive defense and launches, the Ongoing Shield retainer provides monitoring, intent logs, and pre-flight checks.

Start with an AI Authority Audit (5–7 business days) to see where you rank and identify opportunities. Blueprint and Shield have custom pricing based on your scope. Visit our pricing page for full details on each service.

What do you need from us to start?

A single DRI, read-only access to key pages/profiles, and 3–5 mission-critical claims to protect. Expect ~3–5 hours of stakeholder time across the first two weeks.
