Progress Report
Where every deliverable in our signed scope stands today — what's live, what's drafted and waiting on your sign-off, and what we need from you to keep moving.
Where we are: All backend groundwork is essentially done — your business details and AI navigation file are live, and the visible fixes we could make without approvals are published. The bulk of what's outstanding is waiting on you: content to review and a few facts only you can confirm. Clearing those unlocks the rest quickly. Monthly visibility reports begin this month.
Every item marked Live below was verified against your published site on July 3, 2026.
Done before touching anything, so nothing could be lost.
Every page's content, custom code, and settings captured before any work began.
All site images downloaded, organized by page, and filed with clear names.
Behind-the-scenes changes that let AI platforms read and trust your site. No visible design changes.
Your name, address, phone, founding year, and services are now machine-readable on every page — including exact map location for the studio. Verified live on your home, corporate, and non-profit pages.
Published and verified. It points AI crawlers straight to your service pages — corporate events and non-profit galas — rather than letting them get lost in blog posts.
Your services are already recognized sitewide as topics AI associates with Hudson & Nine. Defining each one — corporate, non-profit galas, weddings, social, interiors, and virtual — as its own structured offering is the next step, and we're building that now.
Written to match how clients actually ask ChatGPT and Perplexity about NYC event agencies. We drafted seven (two extra), ready to publish the moment you approve the client names and quotes used.
All your service pages are now present in the live sitemap — corporate, non-profit, weddings, capabilities and more, verified. One cleanup item remains on our side: retiring the old /home-1 duplicate page. Once that's done, resubmitting the sitemap in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools needs access to those accounts. See question 6.
Everything here is written and ready — but nothing publishes without your written sign-off.
Corrected across the corporate page so AI reads one consistent brand name — all six case-study blurbs updated.
Fixed the “1,000,00” typo to “1,000,000 sq.ft.” One quick confirmation needed — see question 5.
Leads with your 23 years, named client categories, $100M raised for non-profits, and MWBE certification. Draft ready for your review.
150–200 words on your background, credentials, and track record. We've already written the bio around what we know and sent you a short list of questions — your path before Hudson & Nine, education, and awards. Fill those in and we finish it for your approval.
Crediting you as author on each post, with a short bio linking to your company page — a strong authority signal for AI. Needs your OK to attach your name.
Client name, event type, and one specific outcome on each service page. We need you to confirm which client story goes where.
Delivered the first week of each month, July through December.
Shows how Hudson & Nine appears across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI for your tracked queries. The tracking system and baseline are already built — we ran four early snapshots (April & June) so we can show movement from day one. Your first official monthly report lands this week.
Six quick decisions unlock everything still outstanding. Most take a minute.
Approve the corporate FAQ — client names & quotes
These reference real clients, so we can't publish the names or testimonial quotes without your permission. Approve and the whole FAQ goes live.
Confirm the gala / non-profit stories are OK to name
Specifically the Best Friends Animal Society story and the StartCare / Steven Mark quote — both are attributed to real clients.
Review the homepage draft
It's written and waiting. Your notes are the only thing between draft and published.
Confirm the IN-N-OUT square footage
We set it to 1,000,000 sq.ft. — please confirm that's the true figure before it stands as a public stat.
Send your founder bio details + green-light bylines
A few facts about your background lets us draft the bio, and your OK lets us credit you as author across the blog.
Give us access to your Google & Bing accounts
The corrected sitemap can't be resubmitted until we're in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Send the login credentials, or add us as a user on each — either works.
