Services

SEO and AI search, under one roof.

Three connected services that get your business found: ranked on Google, named in AI answers, and chosen as the answer. Most clients start with one and add the others as results come in.

SEO · Search engine optimisation

Rank on Google for the searches that bring in customers.

Google still sends most businesses the bulk of their search traffic, and AI answers lean on the pages Google already trusts. We fix what’s holding your site back, then build the content and authority to move it up.

What we do

  • Technical audits and fixes: crawling, indexing, redirects, speed
  • Site architecture and internal linking
  • Keyword research mapped to what your customers buy
  • On-page optimisation and content planning
  • Local SEO: Google Business Profile, citations, reviews
  • Authority building through relevant links and mentions

What you get

  • A prioritised audit: what to fix first, and why
  • A keyword and content plan tied to enquiries
  • Monthly reporting on rankings, traffic and leads

Best for: businesses that aren’t ranking for their main services, have lost traffic, or are rebuilding their website.

GEO · Generative engine optimisation

Get named when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.

AI assistants answer with a handful of businesses, and they choose based on what the web says about you. We find out where you’re missing, then strengthen the signals AI relies on.

What we do

  • AI visibility audit: the questions your customers ask, and who gets named
  • Entity and brand signals that tell AI who you are
  • Content written to be quoted: clear, specific, sourced
  • Reviews and mentions on the sites AI trusts
  • Comparison and “best of” coverage in your market

What you get

  • A baseline of how often each AI tool names you
  • A gap list against the competitors it names instead
  • Monthly tracking of your share of AI answers

Best for: businesses whose customers research online before buying, especially in competitive local and professional services.

AEO · Answer engine optimisation

Become the answer Google shows first.

For many questions, Google now shows an answer before any links: an AI Overview, a featured snippet or a voice reply. We shape your content so it’s the one lifted onto the screen, with your name on it.

What we do

  • Question research: what your customers actually ask
  • Answer-first pages and FAQ content
  • Structured data: Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQ, Product and more
  • Featured snippet and AI Overview optimisation
  • Voice search readiness

What you get

  • A map of the questions worth owning
  • Schema implemented and validated
  • Reporting on snippets and AI Overview citations won

Best for: businesses whose customers ask lots of questions before they buy: costs, comparisons, how-tos.

Questions

Before you ask.

Is SEO still worth it now that AI answers questions?

Yes. Google is still where most searches start, and AI tools draw heavily on the pages search engines already rank and trust. Strong SEO is the foundation that GEO and AEO build on.

How long does it take to see results?

It depends on your site and market. Quick wins, such as fixing technical problems or appearing in Google Maps, can show within weeks. Rankings for competitive searches usually build over three to six months. We’ll give you an honest estimate after the audit.

How do you measure AI visibility?

We track a fixed set of questions your customers ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, and record which businesses each answer names. That gives you a baseline and a monthly share-of-answer figure you can watch move.

Do I need all three services?

No. Many clients start with SEO or an AI visibility audit and add more once they see results. We’ll recommend what fits your goals and budget.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Yes. We’re UK-based and work with clients across Europe and the US.
