You’re in good company
A few of the companies we’ve worked with.
Recommendations aren’t fixes
SEO work often ends in a report: pages search engines can’t read, templates that load slowly, markup that’s missing. The report joins a development backlog and waits, and the next release can undo the work that did ship.
Search has changed too: Google can open a results page with an AI-written overview, and AI assistants often answer with a few cited sources. Search work only counts once it’s live, and it has to survive every release after it.

Search results, answers and assistants
People look for answers in more than one place. Most of the work is shared, and the differences matter.
Google says work for its AI features in Search is still SEO, and much of it carries over to assistants outside Google, which also find and cite pages on the web. The differences are in the details, and each place is measured in its own way.
In search results
Your pages found, understood and ranked by Google and Bing (SEO).
Each engine crawls pages and ranks them from its own index.
In answers
Your page used for the answer, in featured snippets and as a linked source in Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode (often called AEO).
Drawn from Google’s search index: the page has to be indexed and able to show a snippet.
In AI assistants
Your business described accurately, and your pages cited, when people ask assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Perplexity (often called GEO).
Each assistant reads the web through its own crawler or another search index.
What all three have in commonPages that can be read, content worth citing and clear facts about your business.
What we work on
We make the changes in your code ourselves, or alongside your developers.

Pages search engines can read
Crawling, rendering and indexing checked in the code, including sites built with JavaScript frameworks, so nothing technical keeps your important pages out of search.
A structure that makes sense
Site structure, internal links, canonical tags, sitemaps and language versions, so search engines see what matters and how it fits together.
Clear facts about your business
Structured data that matches what’s on the page, generated from your own product or service data, and the same details about your business wherever they appear.
Fast, stable pages
Speed measured for real users and fixed in the code. Performance & Optimization →
Search work that survives the next release
One release can hide a site from search: a stray noindex tag, a lost redirect or a template that stops rendering. So the checks belong in your release pipeline.
Checks in every release
Automated tests for what search depends on: pages that should be indexed, titles and canonical tags, redirects, structured data and speed. A release that would break one stops before it goes live.
Redesigns planned for search
Every old address mapped to its new one before launch, the move checked on the day, and search data watched closely in the weeks after.

Measured where people search
Rankings are only part of the picture. We report what changes, from sources you can check yourself:
- Google Search Console, including how often your pages appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode
- Bing Webmaster Tools, including how often your pages are cited in Copilot and Bing’s AI answers (a report still in preview)
- Visits from AI assistants in your analytics, and the inquiries or sales that follow
- A fixed set of your customers’ real questions, asked in AI assistants on a schedule, to see whether you’re cited and described accurately
- “Which heat pump suits an older home?”Cited
- “Do heat pumps work in cold weather?”Mentioned
- “What does a heat pump survey include?”Cited
- “Who can install a heat pump near me?”Not yet
AI answers can change from one asking to the next, so we read the trend, not a single answer.
Start with what’s in the way
We start with a review of your site, its search data and its code, and agree what to measure. You get a short list of fixes, ranked by likely effect and effort, and we build the first ones ourselves. What the measures show decides what comes next.

Questions worth asking
Is AEO or GEO different from SEO?
Mostly not. Google says work for its AI features is still SEO. The differences are in the details: other assistants use other crawlers and indexes, and each is measured in its own way.
Do we need an llms.txt file?
Not for Google: it says Google Search ignores the file, which neither helps nor harms. Some other tools read it, so we add one only where a tool you rely on uses it.
Should we block AI crawlers?
It’s a business decision, and it can be made crawler by crawler. Google also offers a Search Console setting that keeps a site out of its AI features in Search, though a site that uses it gets no traffic from them.
Can you guarantee rankings or citations?
No, and no one can: Google says indexing and serving aren’t guaranteed. We remove what’s holding your site back and measure what changes.
Will a redesign hurt our rankings?
It can, when addresses change without redirects or content is lost. We plan the move before launch and watch it closely after.
