Backbone Framework Intake Wizard
Designed for B2B professional services companies
Please read and accept the following before submitting any information.
This intake wizard uses artificial intelligence to analyze your materials and pre-fill the intake form. By proceeding, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
For more information on how Good Bones Marketing handles your data, please review our Privacy Policy. For questions, contact sandra@goodbonesmarketing.com.
Provide your website URL, upload documents, or both. The more you share, the better the pre-fill.
Here's something worth knowing before you start: companies often upload marketing materials that represent who they wish they were, or collateral that was accurate two years ago but no longer reflects where the business is heading. When that happens, the AI reads the past and builds strategy around it.
This intake is designed for something different. It's meant to help you think through not just who you are now, but what you want your brand and messaging to become. The closer your uploaded materials are to your current reality — and your intended direction — the more useful every output will be.
Your most recent website copy. Not a version from two years ago. If the site is outdated, upload a current sales deck or proposal instead — Sales materials reflect what buyers are actually responding to, not what marketing wished they'd respond to.
Internal documents over polished brochures. A recent proposal, a case study you're proud of, or even a one-pager you use in discovery calls will tell us more than a corporate brochure.
If your materials feel outdated, that's okay. The form will ask the questions that fill in the gaps. Use the fields to describe where you're heading, not just where you've been.
We will read your public website to extract company information. If your site is outdated, uploading a current document below is more valuable.

PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT • Up to 25 MB per file • Up to 5 filesWebsite copy is often polished to a point where it stops sounding like you. The writing that sounds most like you is in your social posts, cold outreach emails, and proposal intros — the writing you did quickly, talking directly to someone. Uploading 2–5 of those pieces here gives GBM the raw material to calibrate your voice system precisely instead of inferring it from your public materials alone. Written by you, not AI.

Social posts, outreach emails, proposal intros you wrote • PDF, DOCX, TXT • Up to 5 filesBefore we pre-fill the detailed form, tell us the shape of your business. List your services, list the markets you serve, then tick which markets each service is for. Just names here, details come next.
This takes about 20 to 30 seconds. Do not close this window.
This isn't a standard intake form — it's the strategic foundation GBM uses to build every piece of content for your brand. Vague answers produce generic content. Specific, opinionated answers produce content your clients recognize as distinctly yours. Take your time with each section, especially Brand Voice. If a question gives you pause, that's usually a sign it's worth thinking through carefully — those are exactly the answers that make the difference.
GBM will review your submission before any work begins.
Select all traits that describe the founder.
How your company communicates — distinct from the founder's personal style. These structured choices produce far better AI output than open-ended descriptions.
Click to select. Aim for 3–5 that feel most true, not aspirational.
Rooted in Jungian psychology, brand archetypes describe the underlying character your company embodies — not what you sell, but why you communicate the way you do. A Sage educates. A Ruler commands authority. A Challenger disrupts convention. Knowing your archetype gives every content piece a consistent motivation that clients instinctively feel even when they can't articulate it.
Many B2B professional services firms are Sage, Ruler, or Challenger. If none feel exactly right, select the closest 1–2.
Brands or people whose voice you want to emulate. Add their website or social profile so we can study how they write.
Up to 5 brands or people whose voice feels off-brand
Click any buzzword you want banned from your content:
Tentative: "We believe this may help…" → Definitive: "This is the most effective approach."
Teacher: "Here's how to think about this." | Advisor: "Here's what we'd recommend." | Challenger: "The industry is approaching this incorrectly."
Content goals describe what you want to happen (generate leads, build authority). How you create influence describes the mechanism through which you earn the reader's engagement. A firm that educates earns trust differently than one that challenges. This distinction gives AI a much clearer signal about your communication strategy — not just the outcome, but the approach.
A well-defined content mix is one of the most powerful inputs for AI-generated content. When AI knows that 50% of your content should educate and only 10% should promote, it stops defaulting to sales language and starts producing content that actually builds the audience you want. Brands that skip this end up with AI content that sounds like an ad, regardless of what they asked for.

Your services, target audience, authority, and competitive landscape.
These will be flagged in your Guardrails file so GBM does not use them in content without confirmation.
We develop this in your analysis. If you already have a strong point of view on this, add it here and we will use it as the foundation.
Website is required for each competitor you add. Leave the list empty if you have no named competitors.
This feeds middle-of-funnel content designed to keep deals alive at exactly that moment.
Your content needs to arm the champion with the right arguments to defeat the skeptic.
This is the high-stakes hook that drives every piece of pain-point-driven copy.
What to avoid, compliance requirements, and who GBM should reach out to.
