• Content Creation: Write, edit, and publish clear, authoritative, and engaging content (blogs, FAQs, whitepapers, case studies) designed to be highly "readable" by both humans and AI models.
• Optimization: Update existing web copy, service pages, and knowledge bases to ensure our brand messaging is accurately ingested by AI web crawlers.
• Monitoring & Analytics: Track Gunner’s brand visibility and sentiment within AI platforms. Design testing methodologies using various prompts to measure our "share of voice" in generative outputs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with our development and traditional marketing teams to implement technical web updates that support AI discovery.
