No. Ronin™ is a standalone product that delivers real value on its own. Most clients start there to understand their current AI visibility before committing to Daimyo™ or Shogun™. That said, the phases are designed to compound — each one builds directly on the last.
Ronin™ typically completes in 2–3 weeks. Daimyo™ runs over 6–8 weeks depending on content review cycles. Shogun™ is ongoing quarterly management with deliverables distributed across the 13-week cycle.
We prepare all technical changes — schema, llms.txt, page rewrites, sitemap — and send them for your approval before anything goes live. Nothing is published without sign-off. If you're in a regulated industry or have a development team, we can deliver everything in a format ready for your team to implement.
A Knowledge Graph is how AI systems map relationships between entities — your brand, your services, your location, your audience. Without a clear entity definition, AI guesses. With one, it can confidently categorise and recommend you. We build this in Ronin™ and deepen it in Daimyo™ once your content authority is established.
No — and anyone who does is misleading you. AI platforms generate responses dynamically and no agency can guarantee a specific placement. What we can do is build the technical foundation, content depth and external authority that significantly increases the likelihood of citation and recommendation. Our case studies show what's achievable.
Not necessarily. Traditional SEO rankings help, but AI citation is a separate mechanism. Our case study ThaiHomeShop.com achieved 97.1% AI Share of Voice with a low domain rating. That said, strong technical foundations — fast site, clean structure, indexed pages — are important for both.
We run structured prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and Google AI — tracking where your brand appears, what it says, whether the sentiment is positive or negative, and how you compare to your top three competitors. The output is a 10-page prioritised action plan, not a dashboard of vanity metrics.
UGC (user-generated content) signals are mentions of your brand in forums, Reddit threads, Quora answers and niche communities. AI systems weight these heavily when forming trust assessments. We identify relevant conversations already happening and contribute authentically — your brand gets mentioned in context, not dropped into spam threads.
Shogun™ is SGD $19,997 per quarter, which equates to approximately SGD $6,665 per month. Deliverables are spread across the 13-week cycle. The quarterly structure exists because AI visibility compounds over time — short sprints don't create durable authority. A minimum of two quarters is recommended to see meaningful movement in share of voice.
