Bonsai — The OEM Demand System

Five years of compounding. One operating system.

A unified stack across product visualization, websites, search, paid media, and AI — built for Skier's Choice (Supra and Moomba). The numbers below aren't a sample of campaigns. They're the full surface, in order of how a prospect would meet them.

One stack. One feedback loop.

The configurator informs the ads. The ads inform the SEO. The SEO informs the dealer pages. The AI layer ties all of it to first-party intent data. Vendor-fragmented stacks can't operate that way — ours does, by design.

Half one

Digital Experience Platform.

Where the audience you already have converts.

Photo-real 3D configurator
Award-winning custom websites
Sales-enablement mobile + AR app
Forum / community / dealer pages
AI Sales Concierge

Half two

Growth Engine.

Where the next audience finds you.

AI-native SEO + GEO program
Performance-guaranteed paid media
AI-generated landing pages at velocity
Backlink + AI-citation operations
Streaming TV, content, social

Why it matters

Most agencies own one channel and point at the others. We work the full stack because our value is tied to the value we create — OEM, dealer, category. Owning the channel and pointing at the rest is how the work fragments. We don't fragment.

03

Proof I — the configurator becomes the highest-converting page on the site.

Three model years of compounding work on the same surface — load times, photo-real fidelity, smoother transitions, deeper option modeling, AI-guided build assist. The configurator went from a feature to the conversion engine.

The conversion arc — same surface, same brand.

2021 · 2D

Static images, no interactivity. Conversion rate 1.50%.

2023 · 3D

First photo-real, real-time. Conversion rate 2.97%.

2025 · Current

Photo-real, AI-assisted, sub-2s load. Q2 2025 CR 3.55% — +317% YoY.

Photo-real, down to the stitch.

Photoreal Supra render with hyper-detail

Hyper-photo-real fidelity. Detail down to the stitch — visible color changes, accurate textures, next-level lighting. The render is the product experience, not a representation of it.

Color and material accuracy. Every option on the trim sheet renders the way it ships from the factory.

The website rebuild behind it.

Before

Site compromised by hackers, unresolved for 2 weeks
Analytics dark for over a month and a half
Lead tracking broken in CRM
Google flagged the domain — all paid spend paused
Forums down across both brands

After

Performance Grade67 → 84
Load Time−92%
Security ScoreA+
Time on Site+353%
Two-time Best Website winner (2024 + 2025)

The Supra model page in motion. Hero-render, animated transitions, points-of-interest tour, and the configurator entry point — all on one immersive scroll. The page is the showroom.

Scale

The configurator surfaces 228 octillion possible combinations across the lineup. At one render per second, brute-forcing them would take 524 billion times the age of the universe. The 3D pipeline does it on demand.

Proof II — from invisible to unavoidable, even as AI flattened search.

Most brands lost organic traffic in 2024 to AI Overviews and zero-click queries. We held the rankings and tripled lead volume in the same window — because the visitors who remain are converting harder.

The four-phase SEO program.

Phase 1 · Sprint

Prove the engine on the most-searched category term

Result: #3 ranking for "wake boat" in 90 days. The model proved.

Phase 2 · Full Engagement

Secure #1 across the category

Result: top ranking for all "wake boat" and "surf boat" terms across both brands.

Phase 3 · Pillar Build-Out

Expand into boat-length variants, features, third-party listicles

Result: domination of "Top Wakeboarding Boats 2025" listicles. 250+ tailored backlinks placed.

Phase 4 · AI Adaptation (GEO)

Generative Engine Optimization — rank in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, AI Overviews

Backlink program shifted to Reddit, Quora, Wikipedia — the citation sources LLMs actually pull from. Scrunch AI tracking across hundreds of LLM queries means we prove the placements, not hope for them.

From unranked to AI-cited #1.

Category-defining term	Before	Now
Wake Boat	Unranked	#1 + AI snippet
Best Wakeboarding Boats	Unranked	#1
Best Boat For Wakesurfing	Unranked	#1 + AI snippet
Luxury Wake Boat	Unranked	#1
21 / 22 / 24 ft Wake Boat	Unranked	#1 + AI snippet
Surf Boat	#18	#3

Tracked, not assumed. Scrunch dashboard (left) follows brand mentions across hundreds of LLM queries. Snapshot (right) of one of the AI placements driving high-intent traffic.

The AI search shift — in plain numbers

58% of Google searches now end in zero clicks. Organic CTR is down 30% YoY. AI Overviews appear in 50%+ of searches. The visitors who do click are converting harder — #1 commercial-intent positions average 33.92% CTR vs. 23.35% for informational queries. Bottom-of-funnel is where the program is engineered to win.

Paid media — cheaper leads, higher intent, no spend increase.

A/B testing on creative, audience, and landing pages — on a 24/7 cadence, not in campaign cycles. Foundation of efficiency on Google Ads first, then Meta layered for higher-value conversions.

	Leads	CPL	Lead change	CPL change
Supra · Meta	540 → 2,566	$63 → $18	+375%	−71%
Supra · Google	181 → 696	$240 → $63	+284%	−73%
Moomba · Meta	133 → 1,209	$216 → $39	+809%	−82%
Moomba · Google	136 → 450	$277 → $98	+230%	−64%

Eight capabilities, one team, one feedback loop.

Everything below is in production today — not a roadmap. Each capability is backed by Skier's Choice proof. Each is portable to a new OEM with the same operating model and the same performance guarantee.

i.

Photo-real 3D Configurator

Your highest-converting page, by design.

Real-time 3D builder rendered with thread-level fidelity, sub-2-second load, AI-guided option selection, and dynamic environments. Selections become first-party intent signals that feed CRM, ad targeting, and dealer follow-up.

1.50% → 3.55% conversion arc. +317% YoY lift.

ii.

AI-Native SEO + GEO

Rank where buyers actually search now.

Pillar-built content plus a backlink program engineered for the citation sources LLMs pull from (Reddit, Quora, Wikipedia). Scrunch-AI tracking across hundreds of LLM queries proves placement, not hope.

Unranked → #1 + AI snippet across category terms. Organic leads +227.6% YoY.

iii.

Performance-Guaranteed Paid

Lower CPL. Scale qualified volume. No spend increase.

Foundation-of-efficiency model: Google Ads tuned first for high-intent search, then Meta layered for higher-value conversions. Built-in A/B testing on creative, audience, and landing pages.

Meta CPL −71% to −82% at +375% to +809% volume.

iv.

AI Sales Concierge

A 24/7 layer over the configurator and dealer-finder.

Lead validation, instant answers, warm hand-off to the right dealer with the buyer's configured build attached. Designed for the moment a brochure-era chat widget would have lost the lead.

Sales-enablement archetype: 774 conversions at 38.7%, $0 ad cost — outperforming a $153K paid program.

v.

AI Web Admin (Content Velocity)

Dealer pages, model pages, GEO landing pages — at scale.

Brand-tone-trained content engine with quality guardrails. Dynamically generates dealer profiles, city-and-activity combinations, and structured FAQs that AI Overviews actually surface.

34,700 ranking keywords in Q2 2025 — up from 27,250 YoY against a contracting market.

vi.

Sales-Enablement Mobile + AR App

The configurator on the dealer floor — and on the boat.

Cross-platform app with AR build review, post-purchase nurture, and a connected-product layer (companion app, service, access control). Stops "tech features" from being a checkbox and turns them into a repurchase driver.

App-channel: $0 ad cost, 38.7% conversion rate — the founding proof point.

vii.

Mixed-Reality Design Center

Try-before-you-buy for custom builds, in-store and at home.

The same 3D pipeline that runs the configurator extends into Oculus and dealer-floor MR. Reduces configuration errors, shortens custom-build sales cycles, signals category leadership.

Comparable AR/VR programs: up to +40% conversion lift — per industry research.

viii.

AI Customer Service + Warranty

Instant answers. Accurate process adherence. Lower cost-to-serve.

Auto-reply, warranty tracking, dealer-aware escalation, operations AI on top of claims. The same 3D and content asset library that powers the front-end now powers post-sale support.

Built once, deployed across surfaces. The proof is in the front-end numbers above.

Capability examples in motion: dynamic environments inside the configurator (left); the AI customer-service surface (right).

The operating model, in five lines.

Most agencies execute the brief you write. We arrive with the brief you didn't have time to write. The first thing we delivered for Skier's Choice in 2020 was unsolicited — and it generated 774 conversions at $0 ad cost. That's the rhythm.

i.Performance guarantee in writing. Floor: +20% leads YoY. Stretch: +100%. We sign for it. No competing agency we've gone up against in this category will.
ii.Vertical domination, not channel domination. We work the full stack — OEM, dealer, category — because our value is tied to the value we create.
iii.Multi-disciplinary under one roof. 3D pipeline, web, SEO/GEO, paid, AI, video, content. One team, one feedback loop. Vendor-fragmented stacks can't operate that way.
iv.Proactive cadence. The AR app, the GEO program, the AI-search backlink pivot — none of these were RFP'd. We brought them. That is the partnership rhythm.
v.Compounding, not project-shaped. Skier's Choice has compounded for five years. Each surface lifts the next. By year three, the system is the moat.

Your first 90 days.

Week 1–2 · Diagnostic, not discovery

A one-document read on every leak in your funnel

Site, configurator (or its absence), CRM, ad accounts, SEO posture, AI-Overview presence, dealer pipeline. We tell you the order to fix things in.

Week 2 · Sign the guarantee

Performance terms in writing

Minimum +20% leads YoY against your current baseline, with a stretch target. We carry the risk.

Weeks 3–6 · Stand up the efficiency layer

Paid media re-architected for foundation efficiency

Tracking, attribution, anti-spam, and high-intent landing pages go in. CPL bends down inside the first quarter.

Weeks 4–10 · Light the conversion surface

3D configurator, GEO content engine, AI Sales Concierge come online

Wired into your CRM and dealer pipelines from day one, not bolted on later.

Day 90 · First quarterly review

Real numbers, not projections

Conversion rate, CPL, organic leads, AI-Overview placements, configurator engagement — all benchmarked against the diagnostic and the guarantee. The next 90 days are built from what the data says now, not what it said at signing.

07

Who this works for.

The system is engineered for premier OEMs in high-consideration purchase categories with a dealer network. If that's you, the next page makes sense. If it isn't, we'll say so.

Best fit

You'll see your brand in this report if…

You're a premium-priced OEM — the configurator earns its keep where AOV is high and customization is real
You sell through a dealer network — the dealer-layer extension is where the system stops being a website and starts being a sales engine
Your product has configurable options — trim, color, package, accessory — that justify a 3D pipeline
You ship on model-year cadence — the rebuild and refresh rhythm fits
Your current vendor stack is fragmented — one shop for SEO, another for paid, a third for the website, no one for AI
Your competitors hold the category-defining search terms — and you don't yet know how to take them back

Not the fit

You'll know quickly if it isn't…

Commodity products with low ASP and no configurability
Direct-to-consumer-only operations with no dealer layer
Brands optimizing for one channel only — the system compounds across the stack, not in pieces
Engagements scoped under 12 months — the moat builds in year two, not the first quarter
