01The Firm

MagniRise builds personal brand architecture for leaders whose reputation is non-negotiable. You get a website you own, one positioning sentence you use everywhere, LinkedIn rebuilt, AI platforms naming you when asked who to trust in your field, and page one search results you control. Everything is yours permanently.

MagniRise was founded because capable leaders were losing opportunities they never knew existed. A board seat went to someone more findable. A fundraise closed lower because trust never formed. The problem was never expertise. It was infrastructure. MagniRise was built to close that gap.

MagniRise operates on a senior-pod model with a fixed number of mandates per quarter. Every engagement is led by a senior strategist. The firm has completed mandates across professional services, finance, academia, public sector, and entrepreneurship.

MagniRise works globally. Google and Bing cover North America, UK, EU, Middle East, and most Western markets. Baidu covers China. Yandex covers Russia and Central Asia. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude are measured in English with additional languages supported where relevant.

Six mandates per quarter for Presence. Four for Authority. Two for Legacy. One slot per quarter may be reserved for emergency cases. When the quarter is full, it is full.

Every engagement is led by a senior strategist. The pod model does not scale beyond a fixed number without diluting senior attention. We limit capacity to protect the standard.

Emergency onboarding is available for crisis situations. The Identity Audit is compressed to 72 hours. Crisis protocol is built first. Emergency mandates are limited to one per quarter.

02The Problem

Search your name. If page one describes an outdated role, returns fragments from different years, or returns nothing at all, you have this problem. Ask ChatGPT who to trust in your field. If your name is not in the answer, you have this problem. The Identity Audit confirms it either way.

If a name is being checked before an invitation, application, introduction, or appointment, this matters. If a public role, published work, or expanded visibility is approaching, this matters. If the search result on your name already matches reality accurately, this is not urgent.

03The Audit

The Identity Audit is a written report showing exactly what appears when your name is searched. It covers Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, LinkedIn, and 150+ other sources. You receive a 20–30 page report with five sections: current footprint, gap analysis, threat register, opportunity map, and system recommendation. Delivered in three weeks.

04The Systems

Presence gives you a website you own, a positioning sentence, and page one for your name.

Authority adds LinkedIn rebuilt, AI platforms naming you when asked about your field, page one for 15–20 queries, and 20+ content pages.

Legacy adds 24-hour monitoring, written crisis response within hours, continuous content updates, and quarterly recalibration.

The systems build in order. Presence first. Authority second. Legacy third. You cannot buy Authority without first completing Presence, because positioning must be locked before any other surface is built. The audit determines which system fits.

The Identity Audit determines it. The audit reveals what exists, what is missing, and which of the three systems fits your situation. You are not guessing. If a lower system fits, we tell you. If you are not ready, we tell you that too.

05Investment

Pricing is discussed on the call after the Identity Audit determines which system fits. The audit ensures you are not paying for a system you do not need. If a lower system fits, we tell you. If you are not ready, we tell you that too.

Presence and Authority are paid 50% on engagement and 50% on delivery. Authority is paid 40% on engagement, 30% at midpoint, and 30% on delivery. Legacy is paid quarterly. Payment terms are finalised in the engagement agreement.

Legacy can be paid monthly instead of quarterly. Presence and Authority do not have financing options. Payment terms are discussed before the engagement begins so there are no surprises.

No. Every deliverable is listed. Every revision round is stated. Third-party costs, if any, are disclosed and approved in advance. The only additional cost is scope expansion if you request something beyond the system.

06Process & Timeline

Presence takes four to six weeks from engagement to launch. Authority takes eight to twelve weeks. Legacy is an ongoing annual engagement reviewed every 90 days.

Six hours total for Presence and Authority: three hours for positioning sessions, two hours for reviews and approvals, one hour for the final handoff call. Legacy requires approximately four to six hours per quarter.

Gate timelines begin upon your approval of the prior phase. If you delay approvals, the clock pauses. The guarantee stays valid. The work resumes when you are ready.

Pauses are permitted once per engagement for up to 30 days. After 30 days, we resume where we left off. All assets remain yours during the pause.

07Ownership

Everything. Your domain, website files, all copy, all positioning documents, the audit report, the LinkedIn rebuild, all content pages, all search and AI measurement reports. Permanently. Transferable. No licensing. No lock-in. If you leave, everything goes with you.

Pages that say the right thing are kept. Pages that say the wrong thing are rebuilt. You keep your domain. Existing rankings are preserved. Where URLs must change, 301 redirects protect what already ranks.

Everything remains yours. The website, the LinkedIn rebuild, the content, the audit reports, the monitoring reports. Permanently. Transferable. Nothing is withheld.

Yes. If you already own a domain, we build on it. If you do not, we help you register one in your name. The domain is always registered to you, never to MagniRise.

Websites are built on standard, transferable infrastructure. No proprietary CMS. No lock-in. You own the domain, the files, and the hosting credentials. If you have an existing hosting relationship, we can work within it.

08Existing Footprint

That is the cleanest case. No suppression required. No legacy contradictions to correct. The website is built from zero. Your name appears on page one where nothing currently exists. Timeline is often faster than cases requiring clean-up.

The audit identifies every other person with your name across 150+ surfaces. The strategy attaches your name to a specific role, domain, and named frameworks. Structured data separates your identity. Scope increases. Timeline holds.

One positioning sentence anchors the primary role. Secondary roles are carried on the website and LinkedIn as supporting context. All roles point to the same entity. AI and search recognise one distinct authority with multiple roles.

The audit identifies every surface where the old field still dominates. The positioning sentence anchors the new field. Old role mentions are kept but reframed as background, not current identity. AI and search are retrained on new sources. The old field still exists in the record. It no longer defines you.

09Negative Results

Where legal grounds exist — defamation, court order, data protection law — de-indexing is requested. Where they do not, controlled assets outrank the negative result. Page one shows your assets. The negative result moves further back in the index.

We do not suppress accurate press. We contain the narrative, coordinate with legal, prepare the response, and rebuild the surrounding search results with controlled assets. The story stays. It stops dominating page one.

11Alternatives

SEO agencies rank pages for keywords. MagniRise controls what appears when a specific person's name is searched. SEO is one input. MagniRise is the system.

A PR firm places articles in media. MagniRise rebuilds your website, your LinkedIn, your search results, and your AI citations. PR covers one surface. MagniRise covers six. They are complementary, not competing.

A ghostwriter produces posts. MagniRise rebuilds your positioning, your website, your search results, and your AI citations. Posts alone do not control search or AI. Positioning and infrastructure do.

We work with law firms, family offices, executive coaches, and board advisors who refer clients. We do not white-label or subcontract. Referral relationships are confidential and reciprocal where relevant.

12Team & People

A dedicated pod of five: Lead Strategist, Identity Architect, Distribution Engineer, Ownership Builder, and Client Steward. Every engagement is led by a senior strategist. No juniors. No handoffs. The person you speak with is the person doing the work.

We write the first 30 days. You approve each post. After 30 days, you have templates and examples to continue, or we hand the plan to your team. Posting is optional. The profile rebuild happens regardless.

We brief them on the positioning. Their work aligns to the plan. We do not replace them. We do not manage them. The rebuild is ours. The ongoing posts are yours to delegate.

We integrate with your comms lead, legal counsel, family office, assistant, and existing web team. Your team is briefed before launch. We deliver, they maintain. We do not replace anyone.

Yes. Your lawyer, family office, or trusted advisor can be briefed on the positioning and involved in approvals. Confidentiality extends to anyone you bring in.

13Regulated Industries

Legal counsel reviews claims where required. Legal, medical, financial, and government sectors each have specific rules. Compliance is built in, not added after.

14Confidentiality

Yes. Your name is never used in marketing, case studies, or references without written permission. Audit data is encrypted and access is limited to the five-person pod. Deliverables are encrypted with passwords delivered separately. Post-engagement data is archived 12 months and deleted on request.

Yes. We sign client NDAs as standard. If you have your own NDA template, we review and sign it before the audit begins.

All audit data, deliverables, and reports are encrypted at rest and in transit. Access is limited to the five-person pod. Post-engagement, data is archived for 12 months and deleted on request. Full data handling protocols are provided on request.

MagniRise is about control, not visibility. The work determines what appears, not how many people see it. If you want to be findable by the right people and invisible to the rest, this does that.

15Guarantee

Seven gates across the systems.

GatePromiseIf We Miss
01 — AuditDelivered in 3 weeksPositioning phase free
02 — PositionLocked in 2 weeksWebsite build phase free
03 — BuildLaunched in 6 weeksMaintenance free for 90 days
04 — SearchPage one for your name and 15–20 queries within 90 days of launchWe keep working at no fee until it is
05 — AIYour name in at least 60% of runs across four retrieval models within 90 days of launchWe keep working at no fee until it is
06 — MonitoringEvery new mention alerted within 24 hoursMissed mention remediated at no fee
07 — ResponseCrisis response deployed within 4 hours of client approvalNext quarter's recalibration free

The Milestone Guarantee applies. Every missed gate triggers the next phase at no fee. If the Search or AI gates are missed, we keep working at no fee until the standard is met. We do not refund. We work until it is right.

Presence and Authority can be cancelled before Week 2 for a full refund minus audit costs. After Week 2, cancellation is pro-rata based on phase completed. Legacy requires 90 days' written notice with no penalty. All assets remain yours in every case.

90 days' written notice. No penalty. All assets remain yours. The monitoring, crisis response, and quarterly recalibration stop at the end of the notice period. You keep the protocol, the assets, and the content.

16Crisis & Legacy

Crisis response is part of Legacy, not Presence or Authority. If a crisis begins during a Presence or Authority engagement, we pause and move to a Legacy scope. If you are already in a crisis, emergency onboarding begins within 24 hours with the Identity Audit compressed to 72 hours.

A dedicated pod of five: Lead Strategist, Intelligence Analyst, Media Officer, Digital Assets Controller, and Client Steward. Monitoring runs continuously across 150+ sources. Alerts are generated within 24 hours of any mention.

Pre-authorised elements deploy only. The holding statement, the verification work, and the monitoring escalation are covered by a signed pre-authorisation document. Nothing else deploys without your approval.

You approve everything. If you choose not to respond, we monitor and document. No response is deployed without your written approval.

Family members can be added to monitoring scope. Spouse, children, and parents are the most common additions. Scope increases and fees reflect the additional coverage.

Doxxing triggers immediate escalation. We coordinate data broker removals, platform takedowns, and physical security teams where relevant. Physical safety is coordinated with your security team, not owned by us.

17Contract & Legal

Custom scopes can be discussed if they fall within personal brand architecture. Video production, PR placement, and paid media are outside our scope. If your need falls outside, we will tell you and point you to someone who can help.

Monitoring is part of Legacy, not offered standalone. Legacy requires a completed Authority or equivalent first, because there must be something to monitor. If monitoring is all you need, we will tell you.

18Fit

You own everything permanently. Presence clients can stop or upgrade to Authority. Authority clients can stop or upgrade to Legacy. Legacy clients can renew, downgrade to Presence plus monitoring, or exit with 90 days' notice. The audit fee is credited toward any upgrade.

Annual renewal. No increase in year one. Up to 7% per year thereafter. You can also downgrade to Presence plus monitoring, dropping quarterly content production. Assets remain yours throughout.

Do not apply if:

  • Your search results already describe your current role accurately
  • You own a current platform you are happy with
  • AI already names you when asked about your field
  • You are looking for a website only, without positioning or strategy
  • You consider personal branding nice to have rather than necessary

The Identity Audit answers that. It shows what exists and what is missing. If you are not ready, we tell you. If a lower system fits, we tell you. If nothing needs to change, we tell you that too.

Still Have a Question?

The audit answers the remaining questions.

What exists. What is missing. Which system fits. The Identity Audit shows all three in three weeks — no obligation, complete discretion.
