Technical SEO & AI Search Visibility — Be the Source That Gets Cited
Search changed shape. A growing share of queries are answered by Google's AI Overviews or an assistant without a click, and the winners are the pages those systems can parse, trust and quote. We fix the technical layer, structure the content so passages stand alone, and track what actually produced the enquiry.
Ranking is necessary. Being cited is the prize.
For twenty years the goal was position one. It still matters — but in 2026 a large share of informational and commercial queries are answered directly by Google's AI Overviews, and buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini to recommend a supplier. Those systems do not read your homepage the way a person does. They retrieve passages, weigh how well the entity behind them is defined, and quote the clearest one.
That changes the work. Pages need a clean technical foundation so they are in the retrieval set at all — crawlable, fast, canonicalised, without the soft-404s and duplicate URLs that quietly drop a site from consideration. Content needs to be structured so individual sections answer a question completely on their own. And the organisation needs to be legible as an entity: consistent name, clear services, FAQ and Service markup, real authorship.
We do all three, and we measure it honestly. Every engagement starts with an audit that separates technical problems from content gaps, sets up GA4 and Search Console properly, and reports on organic traffic, rankings, AI citations and — the only number that matters — enquiries. No vanity dashboards, no minimum term. Our guide to how AI Overviews are changing SEO explains the shift in detail.
What the work covers
Technical SEO Audit & Remediation
Crawl, index, canonical, redirect, speed and rendering issues found in your own Search Console and log data — then fixed in the code, not listed in a PDF.
Answer-Engine Optimisation (AEO)
Content restructured so definitions, steps and comparisons stand alone as quotable passages; FAQ blocks and question-led headings where buyers actually ask questions.
Structured Data & Entity SEO
Organization, Service, FAQ, Article, Product and Breadcrumb markup deployed and validated, plus the consistency across profiles that lets machines identify your business as one entity.
Content Architecture & On-Page
Topic clusters, internal linking, titles and headings mapped to the terms you should own — with briefs your writers or ours can execute.
Conversion & Landing Page Optimisation
Because traffic to a page that does not convert is a cost. Forms, offers, speed and layout tested against enquiries, not opinions.
Analytics, Attribution & Reporting
GA4, Search Console and conversion tracking configured and verified, and a monthly report that ties the work to enquiries and revenue.
What you receive
- A technical audit with every issue traced to a URL and ranked by impact
- Crawl, index and canonical fixes implemented, not just recommended

Monthly, tied to enquiries, with the next month's priorities attached.
Is this the right service for you?
We would rather tell you now than three weeks in.
A good fit if…
- You have a decent site that does not rank or get cited, and nobody can explain why
- Your buyers research before they call — B2B, professional services, SaaS, clinics, e-commerce
- You want SEO work that also improves the site itself, not a monthly PDF
- You would rather see enquiries attributed than rankings screenshotted
Probably not, if…
- You want guaranteed #1 rankings in 30 days — nobody honest can promise that
- The site is fundamentally slow or unindexable and you are unwilling to fix it first — start with speed optimization or a rebuild
- You need paid media management only — we integrate with paid, but our core is organic and conversion
Fixed price, quoted after a free audit
SEO and visibility work is monthly with no minimum term, scoped after the audit. Audits themselves are fixed-price — see Website Audits & Consulting. Combined build-plus-growth pricing is in the Growth Hacker package.
Questions we are asked most
What is answer-engine optimisation (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring a website so that AI-driven answer systems — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot — can retrieve, trust and quote it. In practice it means clean technical access, passages that answer a question completely on their own, explicit FAQ and entity markup, and consistent information about your organisation across the web. It overlaps heavily with good SEO; it is not a replacement for it.
Can you get my business cited in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
We can make your pages the kind those systems cite: indexable, fast, clearly structured, marked up and authored. Whether a given query surfaces you depends on the competition and how the models weigh sources, which nobody controls. What we do is track citations monthly and iterate on what earns them.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes typically show in Search Console within six to eight weeks. Content and authority work compounds over three to twelve months depending on the market. We report every month so you can see the trajectory long before the destination.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google's systems and your competitors are outside anyone's control. We guarantee the work — the fixes, the structure, the tracking — and we report on outcomes honestly, including the months that disappoint.
Do you build links?
We earn them rather than buy them: citation-worthy assets, digital PR and partnerships where they make sense for your market. Paid link schemes violate Google's policies and are the fastest way to lose the visibility you paid for.
What do you report on?
Organic sessions and their quality, rankings for the terms that matter, AI citations, Core Web Vitals and index coverage, and — above all — enquiries and revenue attributed to organic search. Each report says what we did, what moved, and what we will do next.
