Start with a snapshot
URL, category, competitors—we show how assistants frame you today.
The shift
Discovery no longer starts on your website
Economic and technical buyers ask copilots for shortlists, comparisons, and specs. If the model’s picture of you is thin, wrong, or second-tier, pipeline dies upstream—no matter how polished your demand gen is.
Invisible handoffs
Answers land inside the chat window—often without a click path to you.
Rivals preferred
Familiar brands with clearer entities win “best for” and bake-off prompts.
Fact drift
Stale docs and weak structure become wrong pricing, integrations, or limits in public replies.
Blind leadership
SEO dashboards ignore assistant share; execs see nothing when AI positioning slips.
The program
From foggy mentions to a managed visibility system
Altus Connect treats AI surfaces like a channel: instrumented prompts, source tracing, a ranked remediation backlog, and scheduled re-runs—so improvements compound instead of decaying after the next model refresh.
Without a system
- ✕ One-off “AI SEO” experiments with no baseline
- ✕ Competitors own comparison prompts you never measured
- ✕ Marketing, docs, and listings tell different stories
- ✕ No owner or cadence after the first audit
With Altus Connect
- ✓ Snapshot of mentions, citations, and accuracy vs rivals
- ✓ Backlog sequenced for PMM, content, and selective eng work
- ✓ Living prompt library aligned to how buyers ask
- ✓ Executive narrative with before/after evidence

Why Altus
Built for serious B2B—not consumer playbooks
We combine export-grade research discipline with SaaS go-to-market reality: long cycles, multiple stakeholders, and proof that has to hold up in a committee.
Complex product fluency
Integrations, security posture, pricing models—we stress-test how assistants summarize hard software accurately.
Operator-first delivery
PMM and growth stay in the driver’s seat; engineering hours are reserved for changes that truly need code.
Global and multilingual
When your ICP spans regions, we adapt prompts, competitors, and source expectations—not a single US-centric lens.
Outcomes
Pipeline you can read from replies and meetings
Corporate gifting in India often peaks around Diwali, financial-year closes, and relocation or onboarding cycles. Email should reflect those rhythms with clear hypotheses per cohort—metro HR teams, procurement desks at IT services, or facilities leads—so you are not guessing which list or angle moved the needle.
We align subject lines, proof points, and landing CTAs to the same definitions of success: qualified conversations, catalog downloads, or meeting holds with buyers who actually influence hamper and merchandise decisions. Reporting stays lightweight but honest so founders can defend spend to finance without vanity metrics.
Deliverables
What we ship beside the inbox
You receive researched account lists with titles mapped to gifting decisions, copy blocks tuned to Indian commercial tone, and a responsive landing that mirrors your catalog story without dumping raw spreadsheets into the body of an email.
Sequences include polite opt-out language, GST-friendly invoicing references only where you already operate that way, and handover notes so your inside sales team can pick up threads in IST business hours without reworking the narrative from scratch.
Delivery model
Compliance-first cadence, not spray-and-pray
Warm-up, throttling, and domain hygiene are treated as part of creative quality. We avoid misleading subject lines, keep suppression lists central, and document what was promised in each touch so brand teams at large employers do not get surprises.
When procurement pushes back on cold outreach, you have a clear trail: source rationale, sample messages, and landing URLs that reinforce legitimacy. That posture matters for corporate gifting vendors who sell on trust as much as catalogue depth.
Fit
Built for Indian B2B gifting brands with repeatable outbound
Ideal when you already fulfil corporate programmes but pipeline still depends on referrals, exhibitions, or a single busy founder inbox. Teams ready to share ICP notes, sample catalogues, and realistic lead definitions move fastest.
Less ideal if you need consumer D2C influencer tactics, same-day cold lists without verification, or guaranteed purchase orders—those are different motions. We stay in B2B email with human review gates before large sends.
Kickoff
From brief to first sends in a disciplined sprint
Week zero anchors on your catalogue positioning, metro priorities, and any verticals you refuse to serve. We lock message hierarchy before touching lists so data spend tracks the story you want in market.
By week two you should see staged tests with small cohorts; scale follows once replies look on-brand and ops can fulfil samples or proposals without fire drills. Ongoing iteration focuses on subject angles, case snippets, and CTA depth rather than random volume spikes.
FAQ
Answers for buying committees
Commercials, timing, onboarding, and what honest AI visibility looks like.
1 How does commercial structure work—are we locked into a long retainer?
We begin with a scoped baseline and playbook so outputs and fees are explicit. Retainers extend once the gap analysis proves value; depth scales with regions, prompt breadth, and competitive density.
2 Where should we expect impact first—and on what timeline?
Early signals appear as cleaner mentions and more accurate specs on tracked prompts. Velocity depends on how quickly you ship backlog items and how contested the category is. Expect a prioritized plan within weeks; durable movement follows execution.
3 Who needs to be in the room for onboarding?
Product marketing or growth typically leads with access to positioning docs. Legal rarely blocks progress. Engineering joins selectively for structured data or CMS constraints. We bias to async artifacts over standing meetings.
4 What happens after the first deliverable?
You keep the prompt suite and methodology. Optional retainers cover quarterly reruns, launch monitoring, and refresh cycles when competitors move. We highlight model or source shifts that materially affect your category rails.
5 Can you tailor for our ACV, motion, or vertical?
Yes. Enterprise versus mid-market, festive bulk programmes versus always-on pantry contracts, and regulated verticals each change list design and proof emphasis. The framework stays consistent while weighting reflects how HR and procurement teams in India actually evaluate gifting vendors before they invite three quotes.
6 Do you guarantee top placement in a given assistant?
No ethical partner can promise a permanent rank inside opaque, shifting models. We guarantee rigorous measurement, an ordered remediation plan, and reproducible tests—evidence leadership can trust when models change weekly.
