The offer in one minute

The short version. Over three months we repair the markup and pages search engines cannot read, build your Search and AI foundations in Australia, and produce about 45 pieces of content aimed at the searches Google already shows you for and the questions buyers ask AI about specimen art and ethical sourcing. Then the system is yours to run on Notable, with community coaching behind you if you want it. If you would rather we carried on for the wider coverage, six months is the extended option. We do the work, and you approve it.

What you get

01
Lift the searches Google already shows you for
Search Console averages "framed butterfly" at 5.7 and "snake skeleton" at 6.3 on 11,102 impressions a year, mostly on mobile and lower on desktop. We rebuild the collections and product pages behind them first, because the pages exist and Google already knows them.
02
The answer AI gives about ethical specimen art
"Is butterfly taxidermy ethical?" and "is it legal to own a bat specimen in Australia?" are questions a maker since 1996 should be answering. We start with insects, beetles and spiders, framed butterflies and one sourcing page every ethics question links to.
03
A system you own outright
The workflows that run the content, the technical health, the authority and the measurement, set up on Notable and handed to you at the end of the build, so the work keeps compounding without an agency in the middle.

The four pillars we build

Four pillars, scored out of 100 so progress is objective and visible to you. AI-Ready Certified is 80, which means Professional on all four. The scores are yours, from the strategy report.

PillarWhat we build, for youYou today
1 · TechnicalNo AI crawler is blocked and all 152 products in the sitemap carry product markup, so we build on that base. What we fix: the business markup that is broken on all 268 pages, rebuilt with your founder and social profiles linked, a real homepage heading, a heading and collection markup on all 9 collections, the 8 copied products redirected, the misspelt earring names fixed, alt text across the galleries, and the mobile load time brought down.11 / 25
2 · ContentYour blog is the largest content asset you have, 98 long articles. Around it the collections carry no copy and the product descriptions are short. We point the content at the demand map we built for you: 120 keywords in 10 content territories, and 128 AI questions. About 66 pieces own the core; the three-month build produces about 45 of them, led by your first six territories, with the overlapping articles consolidated and your name on the work.9 / 25
3 · AuthorityYour DataForSEO authority of 15 out of 100 sits in the middle of the Australian stores, and 2 of the 5 AI Overviews whose sources we could read cite you. We build the entity layer for the business and for Trevor, set up reviews where today there are none, and map the Australian home, gift and natural history sites AI reads.6 / 25
4 · MeasurementWorkstream one. Search Console and Shopify already record what this strategy runs on. We stand up the baseline, split branded from non-branded, track AI referrals as their own channel and AI visibility against your 128-question library, so every result shows up in your own reporting.5 / 25

31 out of 100 today. AI-Ready Certified is 80, which is Professional on all four. The evidence behind each score is in Appendix B of the strategy report.

How the three months run

1Weeks 1 to 3: repair, measurement and calibration

We capture your baseline, repair the markup, write the collection copy and headings, tidy the copied products, switch on reviews, and calibrate Notable to your voice and your species knowledge.

2Weeks 4 to 12: content and authority foundations

About 45 pieces across your first six territories, the sourcing and legality page among them, alongside the foundational authority work. By the end of month three the system is built and ready to hand over.

3Month 3 onward: you own it

The foundations, the content and your score are yours, on your own Notable login. From here you choose how much support you want, including six months in total if you want us to carry on.

After the build, it is yours

You keep everything and choose how to run it. Three ways forward, all on your terms.

Run it yourself
Keep the Notable subscription and run it with a light weekly rhythm. You approve; the system does the heavy lifting.
Run it with the community
The Notable subscription with community coaching: weekly sessions, other Shopify brands on the same tools, and a second opinion when you want one.
Extend to six months
We carry on for three more months, through the rest of the core territories and toward full coverage, before you take it over.

How the engagement works

InvestmentWe will walk you through the numbers together, once the scope is confirmed
Your timeOne to two hours a week during the foundations (access, calibration, sign-off), then a short weekly check-in for the rest of the build
Contract termA three-month build, or six months as the extended option. No lock-in beyond it
After the buildThe Notable subscription to keep and run the system, with community coaching if you want it
If you leaveYou keep everything: the foundations, the content, the strategy and your AEO score
QualificationWe take a small cohort through the transformation at a time, so delivery stays hands-on
What we are building toward: your AEO score from 31 toward 80, measured against our published maturity model, with every result reported in your own Search Console and Shopify. Your strategy report sizes the market behind it: the mid case adds +A$6,568 a year in gross non-branded Online Store revenue (modelled, directional) in Australia, taking your share of the winnable non-branded clicks from 9.8% to 16.0%, and every extra 1% of that market is worth about A$1,067 a year in gross revenue. Your branded traffic, your wholesale and your marketplace sales are not part of the model and sit on top of it.

On timing: content ships from the first month, and rankings and AI citations follow with a lag. The mid case assumes the content keeps building after the three months, on the subscription or the extended six months, so judge the build on the score climbing and the pages going live.

What you are actually buying

The four pillars of AI search become four sets of working workflows, built around your brand. Four workflows transfer to you: content (the research, brief, write, review and publish chain, calibrated to your voice and your knowledge of each species), technical SEO and AEO, authority, and measurement (the tracking and reporting layer that shows you what search and AI are bringing in). All four live inside Notable, all four keep being improved, and all four are yours to keep.

You own it. Most agencies charge you year after year, and the day you stop paying, the capability walks out of the door with them. We charge you for a three-month build to transform the business, and then you own the system.

Why you can be confident

Value ↑bigger is better
Dream outcome
Newman Art Designs is the maker AI names when Australians ask where to buy a framed butterfly, whether specimen art is ethically sourced, or what makes a real snake skeleton worth owning, and the orders come in without an ad behind them.

Likelihood it works
Google already shows you for framed butterflies and snake skeletons, mostly on mobile and lower on desktop, 2 of the 5 AI Overviews we could read already cite you, and your blog already draws a large audience. The work builds on ground you hold.

The transformation in full, line by line

The full task list behind the summary above. Approval points are marked, so you always know when something needs your sign-off.

What we would need from you

Phase 1 · Weeks 1 to 3: repair, foundations and calibration

This phase repairs what search engines and AI cannot read, writes the on-page copy the collections are missing, stands up the measurement and calibrates Notable to your brand.

Onboarding

Baseline and measurement (workstream one)

Research and strategy

Technical SEO and on-page

Notable onboarding and calibration

Authority foundations

Phase 2 · Weeks 4 to 12: content production and authority

The foundations are in and the workflows are calibrated, so these weeks are about steady output and the groundwork that makes AI cite you.

Content production

Review before it ships. Once calibration is complete, reviewing content before it publishes sits with you. Every piece reaches you checked for voice, accuracy and search, and species and sourcing details are written only from your own records.

Authority and reputation

Where authority stands. Authority holds 14 of the 49 points between you and 80, and it is the pillar we can move least reliably, in three months or six. Reviews and the entity layer are work we do; coverage on other sites depends on other people. The authority side of Notable (off-site opportunity tracking, community scanning and digital PR tooling) is the newest part of the platform and is being built out over the coming months. We do the foundational work, tell you plainly where you stand on authority, and bring you the new tooling as it lands.

Reporting and handover

The goal we are driving at

The extended option · Months 4 to 6

If you would rather we carried on, three more months take in the rest of the core territories (glass domes, shadow boxes, butterfly wing earrings and buying taxidermy) and work toward full coverage of 126 pieces, with the monthly technical sweep, markup extended as new page types ship, and content gaps reassessed against live AI answers. The handover moves to the end of month six.

What is not included

What comes next

You have your strategy report and the numbers sized on your own data. Next is a short call to confirm the scope and walk through the investment together, including whether three months or six fits Newman Art Designs best.
