# A 90-day plan for using GPT to grow your brand's organic discovery

> A week-by-week 90-day plan to measurably improve how AI engines describe and recommend your brand.

Most teams don't fail at AI search because the strategy is wrong. They fail because no one writes down what to do this week. This piece is a 90-day plan you can copy and adapt.

It assumes a small team (1–3 people on marketing), a modest budget, and a starting position of "we know we should be doing something."

## Days 1–14: baseline and foundation

**Week 1.**
- Run a 50-prompt baseline across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Log responses verbatim.
- Document current state of: Wikipedia presence, top 5 press mentions, public customers page, Reddit/Quora presence, schema coverage.
- Identify the single biggest weakness. Not three weaknesses — one.

**Week 2.**
- Define your target niche statement in one sentence ("we serve [who] who need [what] in [context]").
- Identify 30 journalists/analysts who cover that niche.
- Choose two communities (Reddit subs, Quora topics) where founders/senior staff will personally engage.

## Days 15–45: build the substrate

**Weeks 3–4.**
- Publish or refresh one definitive resource page on your top niche topic. 1,500–3,000 words, primary sources, schema markup, Markdown twin.
- Add JSON-LD Organization, Article, and FAQPage schema across top 10 pages.
- Publish an llms.txt index at /llms.txt linking to all key resources.

**Weeks 5–6.**
- Begin authentic community engagement. Two posts/week per community, no link drops, no pitches. Just expertise.
- Pitch the definitive resource to 5 of the 30 journalists. Tight email, specific hook, real data.

## Days 46–75: earn signal

**Weeks 7–9.**
- Continue community engagement. By now you should have 12–18 substantive posts/answers in the wild.
- Pitch the next 10 journalists. Adjust the hook based on what's getting traction.
- If notability is now genuine, begin Wikipedia/Wikidata research. Otherwise hold — don't force it.

**Weeks 10–11.**
- Land first tier-1 or strong tier-2 press citation (this is the realistic target for week 11; some land sooner, some later).
- Refresh the customers page with named outcomes.
- Run a 10-prompt sentiment check vs. the baseline.

## Days 76–90: measure and lock in

**Week 12.**
- Re-run the full 50-prompt baseline. Compare verbatim.
- Document specifically: which prompts now name your brand that didn't before; where citations now point to your domain; any new positive sentiment patterns.
- Build a 1-page report for leadership.

**Week 13.**
- Define the next 90-day plan based on what the data shows.
- Lock in monthly cadence for: prompt monitoring, community engagement, press pitching.
- Decide what to stop doing — most plans accumulate work that no longer matters.

## What success looks like at day 90

Realistic outcomes for a brand starting from "low presence":

- BPRR up 15–25 points on the prompt set
- 1–2 tier-1 or strong tier-2 press citations earned
- Wikipedia/Wikidata work in motion (rarely complete by day 90)
- A monthly monitoring rhythm that survives without you driving it

What's not realistic at 90 days: massive jumps in CSOV across all engines, full Wikipedia article approval, dominant share-of-voice. Those are 12–18 month outcomes.

## The most common reason 90-day plans fail

Trying to do everything at once. The plan above is sequential on purpose. Foundation first, substrate second, signal third, measurement fourth. Skip steps and the later steps don't compound.
