NOVA Brandworks is a 100% woman-owned Boston agency specializing in AI search optimization and SEO. I help established businesses get recommended when buyers ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot who to hire, and get found in Google Maps and organic search when they search the traditional way.
AI search works more like a concierge than a list of links: it hands the buyer a shortlist. My Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) work covers everything that shortlist draws on, from your website's structure and content to reviews, directories, your Google Business Profile, local press and other third-party citations.
The method comes from original research. In our study of 141 food businesses in Boston's North End, 62% never appeared in a single AI answer across three engines. I use that same testing framework with every client and measure how often you're recommended across repeated prompts, so decisions rest on patterns you can trust.
Clients include healthcare and med spa practices, insurance agencies, nonprofits, tourism and hospitality brands, and specialty retailers. One client grew organic traffic about 2.5x within four weeks of launch.
The simplest way to start is a $500 AI Visibility + Conversion Audit: 12 buyer prompts tested across ChatGPT, Google AI and Copilot, a conversion review of your three most important pages, a written findings brief and a 30-minute walkthrough call. Clients who already know what they need can go straight into a project or monthly engagement. Ongoing work runs month to month without a long-term contract.
NOVA Brandworks offers good value for cost, with clients noting reasonable pricing that fits budgets. They have successfully delivered projects like website design and content creation, resulting in measurable increases in organic traffic and client inquiries.
NOVA Brandworks is praised for their professional and timely project management. Clients appreciate their thorough communication through virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps, ensuring projects are delivered as expected.

NOVA Brandworks designed and developed a five-page Squarespace site with custom sections and a blog migration for a grant-writing nonprofit. The team built Home, About, Resources, Events, and Contact pages.
NOVA Brandworks delivered 100% of the contracted five-page site and removed funding-guarantee language, which reduced liability exposure. The team adapted well to timeline changes, and their communication was responsive. Moreover, the client was pleased with NOVA Brandworks' performance.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and position.
I am an executive of Cracking The Code on Grant Writing
Describe what your company does in a single sentence.
I have a non-profit grant writer and educator, that provides grant writing and fundraising consulting to small and medium size non profits globally. This includes, grant writing, fundraising, board development, workshops and seminars.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire NOVA Brandworks to accomplish?
Design a distinctive identity. Give a first-time site a cohesive, ownable visual system (editorial type plus a clean slate-and-cream palette) that stands apart from generic consultant sites.
Future-proof the platform. Structure the site to scale into new offerings (like "how to start a nonprofit" and "how to become a grant writer") without a rebuild.
Design and build a five-page website that repositions Donna Lubrano as a grant educator rather than a grant writer. Key goals: a conversion-focused site that drives Initial Assessment bookings, a full blog migration, and SEO foundations so nonprofits can discover her.
Drive assessment bookings. Convert visitors into paid 30-minute Initial Assessments with clear, consistent CTAs across every page.
Establish authority. Surface real credentials (Boston Public Library Boot Camp partner, MA Commissioner, grant reviewer roles) as trust signals for early-stage nonprofits.
Build a free resource funnel. Create a no-opt-in resource library that captures top-of-funnel education seekers and routes them toward workshops and speaking.

The project was really building out the identity, format and structure of the website customized to my particular service.

Our Story
NOVA Brandworks is a 100% woman-owned Boston agency built for owner-led local businesses. Founder Danielle Furmenek runs every engagement personally: local SEO, Google Business Profile, web design, and AI search optimization, backed by original research like our North End AI visibility study. Our belief: AI is a concierge that creates the shortlist, and third-party proof decides who is on it. No lock-in contracts, no guaranteed-ranking promises, honest reporting measured in real leads.
Meet the Team
Dani FurmenekFounder & Owner
What Sets Us Apart
AI search is built into every engagement
We test how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI describe your business, then fix the signals they rely on. Our own field research, like the North End AI visibility study of 141 businesses, is the playbook we run for clients.
You work with the founder, start to finish
No account managers, no handoffs. The person who audits your visibility is the person who builds the strategy, does the work, and answers the phone. Capacity is deliberately capped so every client gets the founder's attention.
Honest measurement, no lock-in
We measure real leads, not vanity metrics, and we say plainly what nobody can guarantee, including AI citations and rankings. Month-to-month terms: if the work is good, you stay; if it is not, you should be free to leave.
