TopAuthority — expertise, made legible to AI.

The
overview.

TopAuthority helps established experts become the answer AI recommends — structuring a lifetime of podcasts, talks and frameworks into a form that models like ChatGPT can actually read and cite.

This wasn't a logo, or a landing page, or an email campaign. It was all of them — one connected growth system that had to carry a single idea from first impression all the way through to a paying, well-served client.

Two websites, three funnels — a high-volume product path, a high-ticket advisory path and a referral-partner channel — plus a live workshop, automated email nurture, a ladder of offers and cohort delivery. Designed and built end to end.

The
challenge.

A brand-new category is hard to sell. “AI visibility” isn't something people already search for — so the work had to teach and persuade before it could convert.

It also had to hold together across five very different surfaces and two different platforms (Keap and Kajabi), without the seams showing. A visitor should feel one continuous brand from the first headline to their first cohort session.

The idea

Don't just build a site. Build the whole path.

One idea — “your expertise is real, AI just can't find it yet” — carried through every stage. Same voice, same system, whether you're reading a headline, an email, or an offer page.

Two sites, one system.

A brand home and a product engine — distinct jobs, one identity. Both are live; take a look.

The brand home

TopAuthority.AI

The parent brand and positioning — why expertise goes unseen by AI, the advisory offer, and the founder's voice.

The product & conversion engine

Discovery Hub

The product site — video-led explanation, a proof-heavy case study, and the workshop entry point into the funnel.

The growth system.

I designed and built every stage of the funnel — from the first click to cohort delivery — across web, Keap and Kajabi.

Three funnels, one ecosystem.

One brand, three distinct paths to revenue — a high-volume product funnel, a high-ticket advisory funnel, and a referral-partner channel. Each speaks to a different audience while staying unmistakably one system.

The content that feeds it.

Organic LinkedIn carousels sit at the top of the funnel — teaching the core idea in the brand voice and driving registrations for the workshop. Concept, copy and design, built as a repeatable template. Swipe through a few below.
