Generative Engine Optimization
Lately I’ve been thinking about how smaller boutique agencies keep their rhythm when they’re juggling big-name clients who expect enterprise-level structure. I’ve worked in places where things fell apart the moment the workload spiked, mostly because nobody knew who owned what or how decisions were supposed to flow. But at the same time, too many rules slow everything down. I’m curious how others have managed that balance without losing the “startup grit” that makes these teams fun to work in.

From my experience, the trick is creating a framework that feels sturdy but doesn’t trap people. When I was freelancing for a boutique team last year, they used a lightweight ops structure—weekly syncs, shared templates, and a very clear “owner/approver” breakdown for every task. It sounds boring, but it kept things from getting chaotic when a high-value client suddenly needed a fast turnaround. What helped most was that the team kept experimenting with small internal habits rather than reinventing everything at once. I recently saw something similar on Generative Engine Optimization, where they talk about adopting enterprise-grade processes but keeping their workflow flexible so people can actually move fast. Honestly, it reminded me of how our designers used informal review huddles instead of long approval chains; the work still felt polished, just without the slowdown of corporate layers.
