SEO Consulting

SEO that survives
the AI shift.

Classic SEO still matters, but it is no longer the whole job. We build the technical and topical foundation that earns rankings, and we build it so the same pages are readable by the AI engines that increasingly answer instead of linking.

01

Technical foundation

Everything else is decoration if a crawler cannot reach, render and index the page. This is always where we start, because it is where the biggest failures hide.

  • Crawl, render and index diagnosis
  • Client-side rendering and prerender fixes
  • Sitemaps, robots and canonical hygiene
  • Core Web Vitals against field data
02

Architecture and on-page

How the site is organised decides what search engines think it is about. We make that structure explicit rather than leaving it to be inferred.

  • Information architecture and URL structure
  • Titles, meta and heading hierarchy
  • Internal linking that passes authority
  • Cannibalisation and duplicate consolidation
03

Topical depth

Eight connected articles on one subject beat fifty scattered posts. We plan clusters against real demand, then keep them current instead of publishing and walking away.

  • Keyword and intent mapping
  • Pillar and supporting-content clusters
  • Content refreshed on a 13-week cycle
  • Gap analysis against competitors
04

Local and profile

For anyone serving a place, the Google Business Profile now feeds Search, Maps and Gemini at once. An incomplete profile costs three channels, not one.

  • Google Business Profile optimisation
  • NAP consistency across directories
  • LocalBusiness structured data
  • Review and Q and A strategy
The audit

What we
actually check.

No 90-page automated export. This is the list we work through by hand, and every finding comes back scored by impact, reach, confidence and effort so you know what to do first.

  • Render parityWhat a bot receives versus what a browser draws
  • Index coverageWhich pages are indexed, which are excluded and why
  • Per-page metadataUnique titles, descriptions and canonicals on every URL
  • Heading structureOne h1, no skipped levels, headings that match intent
  • Internal link graphOrphan pages, depth from home, anchor distribution
  • Structured dataOrganization, Service, Article and FAQPage validity
  • Core Web VitalsLCP, CLS and INP from field data, not lab scores
  • Mobile paritySame content and markup served to mobile crawlers
  • Redirect integrityChains, loops and old URLs quietly returning 404
  • CannibalisationMultiple pages competing for one query
  • Content freshnessWhat has decayed past the point engines still cite it
  • AI crawler accessWhether GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are allowed in
  • Entity signalsWhether engines can confirm who you are
  • Analytics integrityWhether the numbers you report are actually true

What we will not promise. Not a position, not by a date. We do not control the algorithm, your competitors, or how the SERP is laid out next quarter. What we will commit to is a diagnosis you can verify, a queue in priority order, and honest reporting on what moved and what did not.

Where it leads

SEO is
layer one.

Ranking well no longer guarantees you are cited. In 2025 the share of Google AI Overview citations that also ranked in the top 10 fell from 76% to 38% in a single year (Ahrefs). Solving search does not solve AI, so we treat them as separate problems that share a foundation.

Next layer

GEO

Being cited inside AI answers: entity signals, structured data and earned mentions. See GEO optimization

Then

AEO

Being selected as the single answer rather than one of the sources. See AEO optimization
