SEO · Search Engine Optimization

The SEO foundation your AI visibility stands on.

On-page, off-page, and technical SEO, run as one discipline. Not rankings for their own sake — the clean, crawlable, authoritative foundation that makes both Google and AI engines trust you.

Still the foundation

SEO didn’t die. It became the base layer.

Every AI engine still learns from the ranked, crawlable web. When ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI decides whom to cite, it draws on the same foundation that ranks you in Google — clean architecture, E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) signals, and content it can actually read. Google has confirmed there is no secret “AI tag”; standard search eligibility comes first.

That’s why SEO isn’t a legacy channel you’re choosing over AI. It’s the base layer AI visibility is built on. A site that bots cannot crawl or render quickly is a site AI cannot cite. Weak authority in standard search translates to weak authority in AI-generated answers.

We run SEO as three connected pillars — on-page, off-page, and technical — and tie the whole thing to pipeline, not vanity traffic. Rankings are the means. Revenue is the point.

The modern stack

Retrieved, extracted, cited

Search visibility is layered. Each layer depends on the one beneath it — and most agencies still only sell you the first.

  1. SEO

    Get retrieved

    Classic SEO — crawlability, mobile-first indexing, Core Web Vitals, authority — gets your pages discovered and ranked. Without it, nothing downstream is possible.

  2. AEO

    Get extracted

    Answer-first formatting, schema markup, and structured content let engines pull clean, accurate answers straight from your pages without hallucinating.

  3. GEO

    Get cited

    Brand-entity work and earned authority get you named and recommended inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI. The top of the stack — built on the two below.

This SEO engagement covers the foundation. GEO & AI Visibility takes it to the top of the stack, and AI Platform Ads is the paid layer that sits on both.

The three pillars

One discipline, three fronts

Great SEO isn’t a pile of tactics. It’s three pillars working together — and a gap in any one caps the other two.

  1. 01

    On-Page

    Everything on your site that tells search engines what a page is about, mapping context to user intent, and why it deserves to rank.

    • Keyword and intent mapping
    • Title tags, meta, and headers
    • Content optimisation & refreshes
    • Internal linking architecture
    • On-page entity signals
  2. 02

    Off-Page

    The authority and E-E-A-T signals from beyond your site that decide whether search engines trust you over competitors.

    • Authority & link building
    • Brand mentions & citations
    • Digital PR placements
    • Third-party profile consistency
    • Competitor authority gaps

    This same off-site authority is what AI engines weigh when deciding whom to cite — so it compounds into GEO, not just rankings.

  3. 03

    Technical

    The plumbing that lets engines crawl, render, and trust your site — built for both Google and autonomous AI agents.

    • Crawlability & indexation
    • Site architecture & speed
    • Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS)
    • Structured data & JSON-LD schema
    • Mobile-first rendering health

Where we start

Every engagement opens with a full site health audit.

Before we touch a single page, we find out exactly what’s holding you back. No guessing, no generic checklist — a complete diagnosis of your site across all three pillars, prioritised by impact.

You get an implementation-ready roadmap — the fixes that matter, ranked, with the reasoning behind each. Whether we execute or your team does, you’ll know precisely what to do and why.

  • Technical health

    Crawl errors, indexation, speed, Core Web Vitals (including INP responsiveness), rendering.

  • On-page gaps

    Thin content, missing intent coverage, weak internal linking.

  • Authority profile

    Backlink quality, brand mentions, competitor gap.

  • Entity & schema

    Structured data coverage and entity consistency.

  • Keyword position

    Where you rank now, and the winnable movements.

  • AI-readiness

    How your SEO foundation sets up AI citation.

What’s included

The full SEO engine

Everything across the three pillars, run as one connected program — not a keyword list handed over and forgotten.

Site Health Audit

A complete technical, on-page, and authority diagnosis with a prioritised, implementation-ready roadmap.

Keyword & Intent Research

Mapping the queries your buyers actually use, by funnel stage, and the winnable opportunities behind them.

On-Page Optimisation

Titles, metadata, headers, content structure, and internal linking, tuned to rank and to be extracted by AI.

Content Optimisation

Refreshing and restructuring existing pages that are underperforming or slipping in the rankings.

Technical SEO

Crawlability, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, and rendering — the base every engine reads from.

Structured Data & Schema

Schema markup that clarifies your content for search engines and surfaces you accurately in AI answers.

Authority & Link Building

Earned links and mentions on the trusted domains that lift your rankings and your AI citation odds together.

Site Migrations

Replatforming, redesigns, and domain moves handled without losing the rankings you’ve earned. Scoped per site and quoted separately from the retainer.

Reporting & Attribution

Rankings, traffic, and conversions tied back to pipeline in your CRM — measured as revenue, not vanity traffic.

What you actually receive

Work done, not work recommended.

You should be able to point to concrete deliverables every month and know how each ties to pipeline. Here’s what lands in your inbox from the SEO engagement — no vanity dashboards, no “we’ll send a ranking report.”

  • Monthly

    Change log

    Every technical fix, page update, and structural change we made live that month, dated — not a list of things you should do.

  • Monthly

    Pages published & rewritten

    The actual URLs we created or reworked, what each one targets, and how it was performing before.

  • Monthly

    Crawl & indexation report

    What Googlebot and the AI crawlers actually fetched, what entered the index, what dropped out — and the reason for each.

  • Ongoing

    Schema & entity coverage map

    Which templates carry structured data, what is still unmarked, and how each type validates — kept current as the site changes.

  • Monthly

    Pipeline-tied reporting

    Keyword positions, organic sessions, and conversions mapped to CRM pipeline — which queries bring revenue, not which bring traffic.

  • Monthly

    What moved, and why

    A written read on what changed, what caused it, and what we are doing next month. The thinking, not just the numbers.

What does your SEO service include?

Full-stack SEO across three pillars: on-page (content, structure, and keyword targeting), off-page (authority and link building), and technical (crawlability, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, and schema). Every engagement opens with a full site health audit and is scoped to your priorities from there.

How is SEO different from GEO?

SEO earns visibility in traditional search results — ranking your pages in Google. GEO earns visibility inside AI-generated answers. They share a technical foundation, and strong SEO is what makes GEO possible, which is why we run them together rather than as separate services.

Do you handle technical SEO, or just content?

Both. Technical SEO is a core pillar, not an add-on — site architecture, crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals (including INP optimization), structured data, and internal linking. On entry tiers we deliver implementation-ready instructions your team can execute; on higher tiers we implement directly in your CMS.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Technical fixes land first — most show impact inside the first 60 days. Ranking and citation movement follows by month three to four, and meaningful pipeline impact happens around month six to twelve. SEO is a compounding asset — the gains hold and strengthen rather than stopping when spend does.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No credible agency can guarantee specific rankings — they depend on factors outside any agency’s control, including Google’s algorithm updates and competitor activity. What we commit to is the work that reliably moves rankings, and reporting that ties progress to pipeline rather than vanity metrics.

Will better SEO help my AI visibility too?

Yes. Much of the technical and authority work SEO requires — clean crawlability, structured data, entity clarity, and quality mentions — is exactly what AI engines rely on when deciding whom to cite. Strong SEO is the foundation good GEO is built on.
