Meet Jacob
Signal analysis from the Royal Marines. Applied to private aviation.
Jacob spent 10 years as a Royal Marines electronic warfare specialist. He now applies that same analytical discipline to one problem: closing the Citation Gap for charter operators who are invisible in the search channels where UHNW buyers make booking decisions.
The background
From electronic warfare to direct charter bookings
Jacob joined the Royal Marines in 2014 as an electronic warfare specialist. For 10 years, his job was to analyse signals data, identify patterns in the noise, and extract the information that actually mattered. It was technical, high-stakes work with no room for error.
He left in 2023. After six months driving for Amazon and an expensive detour through paid social, he noticed something: when the ads stopped, the traffic went to zero. He was renting visibility, not building it.
SEO changed that logic entirely. Organic authority compounds. You build it once and it keeps working. The analytical skills he'd honed in the Marines — reading signals, finding patterns, cutting through noise — translated directly to how search engines and AI systems evaluate authority.
He started with generalist SEO. Then he found private aviation. The problem was specific and structural: charter operators with real operational credibility — established routes, premium fleet, genuine client relationships — were invisible in the search channels where UHNW buyers were actively looking. Someone else was capturing that demand. The operators with the best fleets were losing direct enquiries to competitors with better search visibility.
The Citation Gap Method is the answer to that problem. It's not generic SEO applied to aviation. It's a demand capture system built specifically for the structural challenge charter operators face: a gap between their real-world authority and their machine-readable citability in Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.
Jacob runs Epic Edits. He works directly with every client. No junior account managers. No handoffs.

What this means for you
You work directly with a specialist who knows what a city-pair search is, understands empty leg economics, and measures every deliverable in direct charter enquiries — not impressions.
How we work
Three pillars. One outcome.
Every engagement is built around the same principles. These aren't values on a wall. They're the operating logic behind every deliverable.
Commercial Precision
Every deliverable connects to a commercial outcome. We measure success in direct charter enquiries and direct enquiry value recovered — not traffic and impressions.
Specialist Credibility
We work exclusively in private aviation. We know the difference between a city-pair search and a generic travel query. That specificity is the product.
Radical Clarity
No jargon. No vanity reports. You get a plain-language explanation of what we're doing, why it matters, and what to expect. Always.
Aviation Insider
Fleet entity schema. Route authority signals. Empty leg visibility. Citation Gap analysis. This is the language of demand capture in private aviation — and it's all we do.
The Citation Gap Method
Why charter operators are invisible to AI — and how we fix it
01
Fleet Entity Schema
AI systems can only cite what they can parse. We structure your fleet as machine-readable entity data — aircraft types, range, capacity, certifications — so ChatGPT and Perplexity can read, understand, and cite your operation by name.
02
Route Authority Content
Every city-pair you fly needs a page that answers the exact questions UHNW buyers ask. We build route pages that rank in Google and appear in AI answers — capturing high-intent demand directly.
03
Citation Signal Build
AI systems weight editorial references and consistent entity mentions across trusted sources. We build the citation layer that makes your operation the cited authority for your routes.
