The OCAVI framework (Search & AI Growth System)

If your analytics are flat, potential customers do not visit your website and never ask you for a quote of your services and products, you probably have a discoverability and visibility problem.

You are invisible to Search engines and AI answers. So today, I’m here to fix this problem for you with a framework I personally created from scratch with my 8 years of experience.

You are invisible

I do not know if you need to hear this, but you are invisible to search and AI answers, and this is creating a huge problem for your business. Because people stop searching once they receive the first answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude etc.

This is a problem even when you reach out to them. Your prospects are going to research you before buying from you. If they cannot find anything, they just do not care and go to do business with your competitors.

So you cannot allow yourself anymore to be invisible in Search and AI answers.

You need to become discoverable.

So today, I want to explain to you how you can actually improve your discoverability in Search and AI answers.

I’ve tried, but it didn’t work

A few years ago, I was thinking that if I wanted to be more visible, I needed to create and publish more content on the website and on my social media and so on. Many people still think that.

So they end up generating more content with AI that sounds like AI, spamming search and asking AI to fix their SEO so they can do better.

But this is totally wrong because:

Asking AI to generate your content, like blog posts, might help you in the short term but penalize you in the long term.

You might see a peek in your analytics and think you’ll start to grow steadily, but that’s not right because the moment Google sees you are pushing blog posts of low quality, it is going to penalize you.

Even if you try to ask AI to fix your SEO, you are at risk. Because AI will just create a mess, helping you with the wrong things at the wrong time. So you end up completely out of the rails.

So what you need to do, like I did, is to adopt a system that helps you grow.

The Search & AI Growth System

The Search & AI Growth System, based on the OCAVI framework is something that I personally created after spending more than 8 years doing this for myself and other businesses.

If you apply correctly to this system, you will start to see a steady growth in your analytics, and potential customers will come to you at ease.

Now, the system is very simple. It consists of 3 phases:

If you want to implement it faster I created a tool that will help you analyze your brand discoverability and give you the a few fixes to your problem.

Visibility Foundations

The first phase is called the Visibility Foundations. In this phase we are going to use the first 3 parts of the OCAVI framework that I created.

O - Organic Opportunity Analysis

In this part, what you want to do is to actually analyze your current situation. You need the right tools and very sharp analytics instead of basic AI assumptions made on a prompt like “Analyze my website”.

In this part, you want to analyze what keywords you are already ranking for, what are the most high-intent purchase keywords you can get discoverable for, and least but most important, your technical foundations.

This last is really important because without fixing this, AI will not look for your website. 2 things you can do fast are to:

enable crawlability for AI
debloat your website from useless code:
- For example, I switched from wordpress to a headless CMS because I knew it was bloating my website with code, so AI to actually read the pages had to pass a lot of it. Now I’m not telling you to do the same, but you can compress all the code with different solutions you can find on the internet.

C - Competitor analysis

It would be crazy if you started from scratch.

The best shot you can take is the one that someone else already proved to be working.

In this phase, you need to analyze your competitors for what intent search they are getting discoverable. How? For which products/solutions? You need to identify this, and if you have a direct service or product to compete with, steal the traffic from them.

This is the best way to actually get results faster. Even though there is no insurance with algorithms that change every 3 months.

A - AI visibility analysis

Try this now:

Search on Google or on ChatGPT for your solution. Do your brand appear? If yes, in what position, how many times and with how many different prompts or search?

If you are not appearing at all, you are completely losing deals right now that you are reading this.

So understand and study it because this will be very useful for the next phase:

Visibility Implementation.

Here we will use the 4th part of the OCAVI framework.

V - Visibility implementation (the coolest part)

Here you could possibly implement all the searches that you found, but if you publish 200 blog posts (or pages) in no time, Google will block your website or better penalize it because of SPAM.

This will also penalize your brand visibility in all the LLMs that use Google Search.

So the real mechanism here is to publish what creates real impact for your business. Start to target directly the high intent purchase searches your potential customers are doing. And the cool thing is that you do not need to write a 2000-word blog post, you can even create pages with 400 words.

You can even use AI to do it if you are doing correctly adding something original of yours that is not AI-invented stuff.

If you want to focus on the other side of your business, I understand perfectly, you cannot manage all of that alone. That’s why I’m here to help. You just need to click here.

Third phase: Visibility Growth

The fifth part of the OCAVI framework is I, which stands for

I - Iteration and visibility growth.

In this part, you continue to publish new pages and blog articles. But what is very important is to track what you have already published and see how it is performing. Of course, do not expect instant results. Google might take months to rank you, LLMs might start citing you in a few weeks. That’s why keeping track is the best way to know what you can improve in those things you already publish.

This part is extremely important if you want to continue to grow. You need to update your pages and continue to publish new ones because of 2 main reasons:

Search purchase intents change over time
Algorithms and AI models change

So do not stop this part.

All this system is actually a loop:

OCAVI framwork

The OCAVI framework loop.

Once you start, you need to stay in the loop and not stop in the last part of the framework but redo the analysis and see how you improved or what you can improve:

If you want a quick overview of what you are doing wrong and what you can do to improve your discoverability, I created the Search & AI Visibility Gap Finder that you can use to run a fast analysis every time.

But if you are looking for help doing this because you might want to focus on other parts of your business, you can click here.
