Multi-Site Strategy

Centralized vs. Distributed

Centralized Approach:

Structure:
• Central LLM-SEO team (COE - Center of Excellence)
• Unified strategy across all properties
• Centralized tooling and dashboards
• Standardized processes

Pros:
✓ Consistent strategy
✓ Resource efficiency
✓ Clear accountability
✓ Easier reporting

Cons:
✗ Less regional flexibility
✗ Potential bottlenecks
✗ May miss local nuances

Best for: Companies with similar products globally

Distributed Approach:

Structure:
• Regional/BU LLM-SEO teams
• Local strategy adaptation
• Regional tooling autonomy
• Localized processes

Pros:
✓ Regional customization
✓ Faster local execution
✓ Cultural relevance

Cons:
✗ Inconsistent strategy
✗ Duplicate efforts
✗ Complex reporting

Best for: Diverse product portfolios, strong regional brands

Hybrid Model (Recommended):

Hub-and-Spoke Structure:

Central Hub (Global):
• Define overall strategy
• Set standards and best practices
• Provide tooling and training
• Consolidate reporting
• Monitor brand consistency

Regional Spokes:
• Execute strategy locally
• Adapt to market specifics
• Create localized content
• Report to hub

Example:
Hub (HQ): Sets goal "30% citation rate globally"
Spokes:
• US: Focus on ChatGPT (dominant)
• China: Focus on local AI platforms
• Europe: Focus on Claude (GDPR-friendly)

Result: Global consistency + local relevance
