What we actually do here
Ad density and subscription conversion are page-template decisions, and templates can be tested properly. We run this as a fixed-scope workstream: 4 defined deliverables, one named approver, and a written handover at the end. It attaches to an existing publishers engagement or stands alone if that is the only piece you are missing.

What the first weeks look like
- Week 1
Scoping call and data review
We look at what publishers already hold — systems, exports, APIs — and score each axis for demand and defensibility.
- Weeks 3–4
Contract and template design
The data contract is written and the first template is designed against real rows, not placeholders.
- Weeks 5–8
First tranche live
6,000–14,000 URLs published with schema, internal links, sitemap entries and IndexNow.
- Weeks 9–14
Read, widen, hand over
Indexation and impression data decides what widens and what gets cut. Templates, gates and runbook transfer to you.
Publisher monetisation — questions before you buy
They can. We set a layout budget first and reject placements that break it, rather than fixing vitals after the fact.
