Stony Brook CPOE Proposal

AI & Organic Visibility Audit +
6-Month Roadmap

A focused one-time engagement to evaluate priority CPOE web properties, anchor recommendations in HRM, and give the Stony Brook team a practical plan for improving AI and organic search visibility.

Recommended next step

Proceed with the broader $14,000 audit plus roadmap rather than narrowing the work to HRM only. The broader option gives Stony Brook more useful cross-site findings for a small incremental difference.

Primary audience for the work

CPOE, School of Professional Development, HRM, and the other priority areas Stony Brook confirms before launch.

1 / 6
Scope Rationale

The audit should be broad enough to help CPOE make decisions.

The call surfaced three practical needs: evaluate the larger CPOE web ecosystem, use HRM as the clearest program-level example, and produce a roadmap detailed enough to support internal prioritization and resourcing.

Broader site patterns matter

CPOE includes a mix of legacy, migrated, and program-specific sites. The audit should identify cross-site technical, content, entity, and visibility patterns.

HRM becomes the roadmap anchor

HRM is confirmed as a priority and gives the roadmap a concrete program example for page recommendations, off-site content, YouTube/LinkedIn ideas, and implementation sequencing.

Priority areas can be selected before launch

Stony Brook can confirm roughly three priority areas for deeper examples, such as HRM plus HEA, teacher education, SPD, Pre-College, or another CPOE area.

Recommended $14K Engagement

AI & Organic Visibility Audit + 6-Month Roadmap

One-time fixed fee
$14,000Audit plus roadmap

Designed as a scoped first engagement that can move through procurement while giving Stony Brook enough detail to decide what to implement internally or with external support.

Dashboard setup, ongoing reporting, and Conductor consulting are intentionally not included in this immediate scope.
Audit coverage

Review CPOE-related web presence, including the School of Professional Development, selected migrated/new URLs, and confirmed priority areas.

Program-level roadmap anchor

Use HRM as the detailed example for program page improvements, AI-search readiness, content topics, internal links, and off-site authority signals.

Decision-ready output

Provide prioritized recommendations, sequencing, and estimated effort so the team can decide what to do first and what may require added resources.

Audit Focus Areas

What Search Influence will review

The audit connects organic SEO fundamentals with the signals AI search platforms need in order to understand, cite, and recommend Stony Brook programs accurately.

Technical crawlability and indexation signals
AI-search answer readiness
Program page clarity and semantic triples
Priority entity and keyword coverage
Internal linking and site structure
Content gaps by priority area
External citations, mentions, and authority signals
Video, LinkedIn, and article opportunities
Structured data and page metadata
Migration-related URL/page considerations
Competitive and answer-set visibility observations
Recommended fixes by impact and effort
Before launch, Stony Brook should confirm the URLs/sections that will be in their future-state form. The call suggested a likely start after key migrations are complete, around late August or early September.

6-Month Roadmap Deliverables

The roadmap turns findings into a sequenced work plan.

Instead of leaving Stony Brook with broad recommendations, the roadmap translates findings into specific workstreams, example tactics, and a six-month sequence the team can use internally or with external support.

Months 1-2

Prioritize the highest-impact technical, page, and entity fixes. Define HRM page updates, priority keywords/prompts, and immediate content improvements.

Months 3-4

Build supporting content and authority signals, such as LinkedIn article topics, YouTube opportunities, internal links, FAQs, and citation-building ideas.

Months 5-6

Extend the HRM pattern to additional priority programs and document the staffing, estimated hours, and support needs required to keep momentum.

Roadmap output will include
6-month action sequence
HRM-specific content and page recommendations
Topics for LinkedIn, YouTube, and article support
Estimated effort or hours where useful
Internal vs. external support guidance
Priority next-step implementation options
Patterns to replicate for other programs
Decision support for future resourcing

Future Support and Next Steps

Keep the immediate scope focused, then decide what support is needed.

Dashboard buildout, Conductor support, and implementation help can be scoped separately after the audit clarifies what Stony Brook most needs to execute.

1. Confirm priority areas

Stony Brook confirms HRM plus the additional priority areas or site sections to emphasize before work begins.

2. Align launch timing

Begin after priority pages are migrated or stable enough for the findings to reflect the future-state site.

3. Use the roadmap to resource implementation

After delivery, Stony Brook can execute internally, request a defined Search Influence implementation quote, or scope separate dashboard/Conductor consulting.

Future optional services may include dashboard and analytics setup, monthly AI visibility reporting, Conductor consulting, or a defined implementation project based on the highest-priority roadmap items.
