Can performance marketing be purchased alone?
Only when it solves a defined demand-capture or sales-conversion problem. Channel role, message, landing page, measurement and sales follow-up are defined together.
Can sales discovery and qualification be included?
Yes. Discovery, qualification, the buying committee, commercial insight, business case and follow-up can be designed within Demand & Conversion when they are required to move interest toward a buying decision.
Do AEO and GEO replace SEO?
No. Accessible content that answers the reader’s question and makes its sources clear remains the shared foundation. Google’s AI features do not require special schema or AI text files. Structured data should match visible content, and implementation does not guarantee inclusion or citation.
How does Hornpiper work with our existing team?
We own the agreed messaging, content, web, campaign and conversion work. Your team supplies product information and publication approvals; sales provides feedback on enquiry quality and conversation outcomes. Where an agency or production team is already involved, we agree the division of work together.
Which measures help assess the contribution?
We select measures such as reach and recall, qualified enquiries, sales progression and acquisition cost according to the objective. Recall requires suitable research; impressions are not a substitute. We account for the sales cycle and measurement limits rather than treating platform attribution as causal proof.
