The 90-Day Plan

Five moves. Biggest first. Compounding after.

1

Deploy the legalName schema fix Week 1

Replace "anuj" with "Lankford Roofing and Construction LLC" across LocalBusiness and Organization schema. JSON already staged in deliverables/lankford-roofing-construction/schema/. One-hour task for the web team.

2

Ship the seven staged schema blocks Week 1-2

LocalBusiness, FAQ, Services, Person-Owner, AggregateRating, Breadcrumb, Organization-sameAs. All written and validated. Adds structured signal AI crawlers read every pass.

3

Three AI-ready service pages Week 2-4

Standing seam, commercial roofing, storm damage. Each page: H1 tied to buyer query, FAQ block, service-area markup, local-entity references. Ranked-keyword data already shows the gap, we know what to write.

4

Push the staged citation packet Week 3-5

30 citations pre-flighted for NAP consistency. Deploy in batches. Every new citation is a cross-reference AI platforms can verify against.

5

GBP service list expansion and review flow Week 4-8

GBP is already Top 20 in market. Adding service-specific entries (standing seam, storm damage, insurance claim) plus a review-request flow keyed to completed jobs tightens local dominance.

AI visibility retest scheduled at day 30, day 60, day 90. Target band: "Good" (80+) by day 90.

Why this works for Lankford specifically

The reputation is already built. We're fixing the plumbing.

Nearly 90 years of operating history

Lankford has been roofing since 1937. That's four generations of job history, reviews, referrals, and local press. AI platforms weight operating longevity heavily, especially for trust-sensitive verticals like roofing.

Low-competition AI visibility market

Most Sherman and Texoma roofers are cited in under 30% of AI queries. Lankford at 75% is an outlier. The fixes compound that lead instead of catching up.

Sister business supplies the panels

Metal Warehouse stocks the panels Lankford installs. Cross-brand attribution turns a supplier-customer relationship into a tracked revenue loop. Unique to this portfolio.

Staged work ready to deploy

Schema blocks, citation packet, social profile packet, launch assets. Most of the Month 1 work is already built. Month 1 is about shipping, not starting.
