The situation
When digital marketing underperforms, the instinct is to change the channel: new agency for ads, another go at SEO, a website rebuild. Occasionally that is right. More often the ads, the search traffic and the site are all doing roughly what they were asked to do, and the problem is that nobody decided what the visitor was supposed to do next.
Epitomise starts with the journey. Who the buyer is, what they are trying to work out at each stage, what the business needs them to do, and which channel is genuinely best placed to move them one step. Only then does the channel work get planned — and at that point it is much easier to say what to stop paying for.
The same applies to the newer question of how AI assistants summarise and cite your business. It is answered with structure and substance on your own site, not with a separate campaign. There is a practical guide to that in the blog.
