When services are identical, your people become the differentiator.
We build the system that makes your team visible and credible – so prospects find you, trust you, and choose you – without the marketing spend.
Because ads don’t win you work anyway –
reputation and relationships do.

In professional services, the ‘services’ are often identical.
Same expertise. Same process. Same results.
Zero differentiation.
So when a prospect is choosing between you and three other firms, what tips the decision?
It’s not the service – it’s the people they know and trust.
When you get your people representing your brand authentically and strategically – that builds trust.
But here’s the issue:
your team is invisible.
When prospects research your firm, they find your website with generic messaging, maybe a few outdated or inconsistent LinkedIn profiles and not much else.
Meanwhile, competitors with less experience but more visible people are winning work — not because they’re better, but because they’re easier to find, easier to understand and easier to trust.
One or two people posting occasionally won’t move the needle. But when your whole team is showing up with a consistent voice — professional, credible and unmistakably yours – that is literally a trust engine and force multiplier.
We build reputation infrastructure for professional services teams.
Traditional marketing is renting attention — ads, campaigns, external agencies.
Reputation is owning attention.
When prospects research your industry, your people show up.
When they Google your firm, every profile looks sharp.
When they scroll LinkedIn, your team is present — not because you’re buying ads but because you’ve built the infrastructure.
What’s changed that makes this possible now:
AI can be trained on individual voices. One diagnostic interview per person becomes a custom writing system that sounds like them – not generic templates, actual voice calibration.
You’re not buying ads, hiring a marketing team or outsourcing content. You’re building a system where your team’s expertise becomes visible, searchable and credible — on autopilot.
The work happens once.
The reputation compounds forever.
How does the process work?
1. Business Brand Profile
We map your firm’s positioning, tone of voice and messaging framework.
This becomes the foundation – what your brand stands for and how it should sound when your people speak for it.
2. Individual Brand Profiles
Each team member gets a diagnostic interview, personal positioning analysis, LinkedIn optimisation and (if they want it) a custom AI Writing Coach trained on their voice.
3. Team Infrastructure
Shared client workspace with content resources, Brand TOV bot, team training session and ongoing monthly support to keep momentum.
Timeline: 6-8 weeks setup. Ongoing monthly retainer for system maintenance, quarterly strategy workshops and real-time support.
Two Tiers: Credibility vs. Visibility
Not everyone on your team needs to post regularly.
Some just need to look credible when prospects research them.
Credibility Layer
(Foundational)
——————————–
- Business Brand Profile + individual positioning
- LinkedIn profile optimisation for each person
- Brand voice guidelines
- One-time setup, minimal ongoing support
Best for: Teams who need their people to be findable and credible, but won’t be posting regularly.
Visibility Layer
(Full System)
————————————-
Everything in Credibility Layer, plus:
- Custom AI Writing Coach per person (trained on their voice)
- Client workspace with content management, prompts, templates, resource library
- Brand TOV bot
- Monthly content review and strategy calls
- Quarterly workshops to refresh positioning and momentum
Best for: Teams who want consistent visibility — people posting 2-8x/month with confidence, in their own voice, aligned with your brand.
Investment
Small Team
(3 to 5 people)
——————————-
Cost to set up:
$6,000 – $18,000
——————————-
Range depends on:
- Credibility vs. Visibility tier.
- Brand Foundation work required
Lower end = foundational LinkedIn optimisation.
Higher end = full content system with AI, client portal, ongoing support.
Medium Team
(6 to 10 people)
——————————-
Cost to set up:
$10,000 – $24,000
——————————-
Same structure.
Range reflects whether you want basic credible profiles or full visibility infrastructure.
Large Team
(10+ people)
——————————-
Cost:
Custom Quote
——————————-
Tailored to firm needs.
May include add-ons like:
- Proposals bot
- PR response system
- Custom workflow integrations.
Once set up, you can choose monthly support or run it yourself — the system is yours to own.
Here’s what makes this different:
- No media spend (organic visibility, not paid ads)
- No external agencies (your team owns the voice)
- No ongoing ad costs (the infrastructure compounds over time)
The result: leads are warmer, they come to you already familiar with your people, you’re top of mind at decision time. If you do run paid ads, they’ll convert better. And when it comes to the final decision, people choose who feels familiar and credible — exactly what this system delivers.
It’s a sustainable system that pays for itself over and over again.
Who is this for?
Best fit:
- Professional services firms: law, accounting, consulting, wealth management, engineering, advisory
- 3-20 people where individual credibility drives business development
- Firms where services are commoditised and people are the differentiator
- Teams tired of “post 3x/week” advice that nobody follows
Not a fit:
- B2C brands or influencer-style businesses
- Teams looking for a quick LinkedIn audit (we build systems, not quick fixes)
- Firms unwilling to invest 6-8 weeks in proper setup

FAQs
Will this make us sound like LinkedIn influencers?
No. We build positioning that sounds like how your team actually talks — professional, credible, specific to your industry. If it feels performative, we kill it. The goal is authority, not attention.
Our people are too busy to post regularly.
That’s why we have two tiers. If your team won’t post, we optimize their profiles so they look credible when found (Credibility Layer). If they will post, we make it easier than ignoring it (Visibility Layer — AI removes blank screen paralysis, Notion has 30 prompts per person). Posting becomes a 10-minute weekly task, not an hours-long burden.
What if someone on our team doesn't want to participate?
We work with willing participants. If 3 out of 5 partners want visibility, we start there. You can always add others later. Momentum is contagious — when the team sees one person getting inbound enquiries, others usually come around.
What if they say something off-brand?
It’s not risky when people understand the guardrails. We give them brand voice guidelines, approved topics, and tone calibration — not rigid scripts. The Brand TOV bot (Slack/Teams integration) provides real-time checks before they post. They sound like themselves, just sharper and aligned with your firm.
How long before we see results?
Credibility Layer: Immediate (profiles are optimized within 6-8 weeks).
Visibility Layer: Most teams see inbound enquiries within 8-12 weeks of consistent posting. ROI compounds — one new client typically pays for the entire year.
Can we try this with just one person first?
Yes. Start with our individual packages at [knownfor.nz/individuals]. If it works, scale to Team Edition. But team pricing is better value per person, and the system works best when multiple people are visible at once (multiple voices compound authority faster than one).
Do we need to keep paying monthly, or can we run it ourselves?
You own the system. Once it’s built, you can run it yourself if your team is confident. The monthly retainer is optional — it covers system maintenance (AI updates, new prompts, quarterly workshops) and ongoing strategy support. Most teams keep it because it’s easier, but you’re not locked in.
What if we already have a marketing team or agency?
This works alongside your existing marketing. Your marketing team handles campaigns, ads, events. We handle your people’s individual visibility. In fact, when your team is visible, your marketing converts better — prospects already trust you before they see your ads.
How is this different from hiring a LinkedIn ghostwriter?
Ghostwriters create dependency — you pay them monthly to write in your voice, but you never own the system. We build infrastructure you own. The AI Writing Coach is trained on your team’s actual voices (from diagnostic interviews), and your people learn how to use it. You can stop paying us and keep running it. Plus, we’re building team-wide systems, not just individual ghostwriting.
We're worried about compliance/regulatory issues. Will this work for our industry?
Yes. We’ve worked with lawyers, accountants, financial advisors — industries where compliance is everything. The brand voice guidelines include compliance guardrails specific to your industry. And because your people are posting in their own voice (not generic agency content), it’s easier to stay within regulatory boundaries. We can also involve your compliance team in the setup process.
