Скачать или смотреть Generative Engine Optimization: The System Contractors Are Using to Scale Faster

The GEO Playbook for Commercial Construction explains how AI search and assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity) are quietly reshaping how owners, developers, lenders, and sureties discover and evaluate contractors. Instead of scrolling through Google results, decision-makers increasingly ask AI for recommendations—and those systems respond with a short answer and just a few named firms. At the same time, traffic coming from AI search converts far better than traditional organic, while Google’s AI Overviews are reducing click-through on classic links, creating a “zero-click” reality for many brands.

To protect backlog and margin in this new environment, the playbook introduces Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): a practical framework to make your company easy for AI to verify, understand, and recommend. It’s built on three pillars—Entity & Trust Verification, AI-Ready Content Structure, and Market-Wide Content Domination—implemented through a focused 90-day sprint. The one-pager also separates simple DIY steps your team can handle from specialist work where a partner like Stigmare adds the most ROI, and closes with a soft call to audit what AI currently says about your firm.
Welcome to Stigmare — the veteran-led growth architecture firm built for ambitious operators who expect more from their brand, their marketing, and their systems.

‪@stevenpaulmatsumoto‬ Founder & Chief Strategist of Stigmare

Steven Paul Matsumoto is a turnaround executive, systems architect, and brand strategist known for transforming distressed operations into aligned, disciplined, and scalable organizations. With more than two decades of leadership experience, he specializes in repairing internal systems so companies can grow with clarity, cohesion, and long-term resilience.

As the Founder & Chief Strategist of Stigmare, Inc., Matsumoto pioneered Development-Informed Marketing, a doctrine asserting that sustainable external growth is only possible when internal leadership, operations, and culture are aligned. Through Stigmare, he integrates management consulting, leadership development, and brand architecture to ensure that the inside of a business supports the message it projects to the world.

His methodology is demonstrated through the turnaround of Juno’s Liquor, a distressed Arlington, Texas retail asset he co-acquired in 2022. Through operational restructuring and leadership-driven strategy, he increased sales, stabilized performance, and led expansions into Las Colinas (November 2024) and Keller Crossing (June 2025). The company’s progress earned the recognition of Veteran-Owned Business of the Year 2025.
