Five buyer personas — from the COO drowning in "human middleware" to the innovation lead whose AI pilots keep failing — each researched across role, pains, KPIs, budget authority, objections, triggers, the questions they ask AI assistants, journey and competitive context.
Role families crossed with company size — plus vertical and geography. Here is that frame, with today's five researched personas plotted as worked examples. The dark cells are built; the rest is the scope a full programme fills in, on Make IT Future's data.
Verticals covered: digital agencies · B2B / professional services · SaaS & tech · e-commerce · manufacturing services. Geographies: UK (primary) · DACH · France.
High-intent searches with meaningful UK volume and near-zero difficulty where Make IT Future currently has no ranking asset (or only a weak one). Each links to the persona it serves. Volumes measured via the keyword-research data source, UK, July 2026.
Drop the ~350-word persona card at the top of every content or campaign brief so each piece is grounded in one buyer's pains, vocabulary and priority queries — no re-research.
Sales opens the print-ready battlecard before a discovery call: the defining quote, budget line, objection counters and three questions to ask are built for the conversation.
The machine-readable corpus feeds keyword clustering, content calendars and campaign planning. Every persona carries a version, so content can cite exactly which persona it was built for.
Re-run quarterly to keep statistics and competitor pricing current. When you have interviews or win/loss notes, fold them in — sections upgrade from researched to first-party and confidence rises.

This report was prepared by Whitehat SEO Ltd (Helium 42) for Make IT Future. It is built from public, external data only — no Make IT Future-internal information beyond the supplied persona brief and public website has been used.
Personas built this way are a strong first pass, not a finished truth. The step that makes them dependable is triangulation against Make IT Future's own interview and customer evidence — folding that in is a defined next step, not something this report claims to have done.
Figures are reported as their sources state them, with dates. No outcome, ranking or performance guarantee is made or implied anywhere in this document.
