Maximizing ROI with Strategy Board

Surmado Strategy is a $50 strategic plan. Six AI advisors debate your business decision and give you a 90-day action plan.

Most teams get the most value by running Surmado AI Visibility Pro first to understand how AI sees them. Then they run Surmado Strategy to turn those findings into a concrete plan.

What Strategy Needs From You

Strategy works best when you give us:

  • A brief business story (what you do and who you serve)
  • The decision or problem you are facing
  • A success metric (what would feel like a win)
  • A rough timeline (when you need to see results)

Pricing

Surmado Strategy costs $50 per job. You can run it as often as you need.

Strategy can be triggered via API and delivered via webhook. Perfect for automating quarterly strategic reviews or integrating into existing decision workflows.

The 4-Step Pipeline

1. Run Surmado AI Visibility (Pro recommended). See how AI already talks about you.

2. Read your key findings and spot the biggest opportunity. What is the biggest chance you can seize?

3. Run Surmado Strategy with a specific decision or question. Get AI-powered advice on your top 1 to 2 decisions.

4. Pick 3 actions from the plan and commit to a week to try them. Small wins compound.

Example Prompt

Here is what a good Strategy prompt looks like:

Example:

“We’re a boutique copywriting agency in Portland. We help e-commerce brands write better product pages.

Our decision: Should we specialize in one vertical (e.g., outdoor gear) or stay generalist? Specialization feels deeper but risky.

Win condition: Grow from $5k/month to $15k/month in 12 months.

Timeline: We need to decide by March, so we can build the case studies and network by June.”
