Your Internet Exploration Team of One
Hire me for a quarter. You don't need another agency. You might not need another full-time employee either.
Sometimes you need someone whose job is to go down the rabbit holes nobody else has time to explore. Someone who can look at your customers, your community, your industry, the internet, emerging technology, and the weird things happening at the edges—and come back with:
That's what I do. I turn internet signals into opportunities.
The Problem Isn't Information.
It's Signal vs. Noise.
The internet is full of useful information. Your customers are asking questions. Communities are discussing problems. People are inventing new language. New behaviors are emerging. AI is changing how people discover products. Your brand is being discussed in places you may never see.
The problem isn't a lack of information. The problem is that nobody has time to connect the dots. I do.
What I Can Help You Figure Out
1. What are people actually saying about us?
I'll look beyond surveys and dashboards. I'll find the conversations, questions, complaints, language, and behaviors happening in the wild.
2. Where are the opportunities nobody owns yet?
New communities. Customer problems. Narratives. Distribution channels. Products. Ways AI is changing your category. I'll explore them before you commit significant resources.
3. How does AI understand your company?
Ask ten different AI systems about your company and you'll get ten different answers. I'll investigate:
- How AI describes your brand
- What sources influence those answers
- Where misinformation or gaps exist
- Opportunities to influence the ecosystem
4. What should we experiment with?
Not every idea deserves a six-month roadmap. Some things should just be tested. I'll help turn opportunities into experiments, content, lightweight prototypes, and distribution strategies.
My Toolset
Community Intelligence
I know how to find and interpret conversations inside online communities—especially Reddit. Not just "which subreddit to post in," but what people believe, hate, and where your product naturally fits.
Internet Research
I go deep. Search, communities, AI tools, social platforms, and customer conversations. I synthesize the chaos into useful directives.
AI Intelligence
Understanding the intersection of: open internet × communities × content × AI answers. Finding out why AI says what it says about you and what to do about it.
Narrative & Experimentation
Turning research into clear narratives, messaging, and stories people understand. We skip the 70-slide strategy deck, test high-potential ideas, and learn from reality.
What a Quarter Together Looks Like
Explore
We start with the big questions. I'll immerse myself in your company, customers, category, and the surrounding internet. We'll map opportunities, uncover Reddit/community intelligence, and analyze your AI/LLM visibility.
Focus
We choose what looks most promising. Together, we'll turn insights into a small number of focused opportunities—testing a new narrative, exploring a community strategy, or building a content experiment.
Experiment
We actually do something. I'll help design and execute experiments around top opportunities. At the end, you'll know what worked, what didn't, and what deserves further investment.
Who I Am
I'm Max Cordova. I've spent my career moving between worlds: I've been a teacher, written scripts for YouTube channels with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, built online communities, and worked in Reddit marketing. Lately, I've been exploring what happens when communities, search, content, and AI start influencing each other.
The common thread: I like figuring things out. Especially things that are messy, new, difficult to categorize, or hiding in plain sight.
