Why consulting firms lose mandates
Five gaps blocking your firm from the shortlist.
Each issue below is found on 60%+ of consulting websites we audit. Each one fixable in days.
Authority gap
Your thought leadership ranks for no buyer queries.
200 whitepapers, zero rank for procurement-intent terms. Without ProfessionalService schema, topic clustering and on-page intent matching, your IP stays invisible. We map every gap.
73%
of C-suite buyers research consultancies via Google
AI visibility
ChatGPT cites McKinsey. Not you.
AI engines summarise consulting topics by citing 3–5 authoritative firms. Without citation-ready content structure your firm is excluded.

Direct answer
How do consulting firms get shortlisted via search?

Consulting firms get shortlisted through unique practice-area pages with ProfessionalService schema, structured partner credentials via hasCredential JSON-LD, indexable HTML case studies with CaseStudy markup, topic-clustered thought leadership matching procurement-intent queries, and AI citation readiness. AuditMySite audits all five in 90 seconds. The most common issue is case studies trapped in gated PDFs — invisible to Google and AI engines used by procurement researchers.
