Старт с assets на руках. Launch notes, help docs, interviews → dual-reference briefs в Copyright: guest для third-party и canonical deep-dive в blog. Marketing — messaging; SEO — anchor maps; один toolchain.
Transparent buy когда cold outreach медленный. Outreach catalog: DR, traffic, category до checkout; orders в account. Сверка с Ahrefs до budget approval — procurement и marketing согласны.
Governance = monitoring, не trust. Live placement в link checker с follow status и anchor. Monthly exports leadership — retention metrics, не «five posts published». Next quarter prospecting через keyword search на gaps competitors.
