SEO · AI Ranking · GEO
Half your future customers will never see ten blue links — they'll read what ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity say about your industry. Modern SEO plus AI Ranking puts your name in the reply.
The shift
Google still matters — but a growing share of searches now happen inside AI assistants. They give one answer, citing a handful of sources. If your business isn't in those citations, you're invisible to that whole audience.
We work both fronts at once: technical SEO that still earns clicks from Google, and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) that earns mentions inside AI replies.
What we do every month
We run your brand through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity and measure exactly where you appear, where you don't, and who's getting cited instead.
Long-form, original, source-backed content — the kind both Google and AI models prefer. Written, not spun.
Schema markup, sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, internal links, crawl health — and an llms.txt so AI crawlers index you properly.
Targeted PR placements, partner links, directory entries — the off-site signals AIs and Google both weight heavily.
Google Business Profile optimisation, review acceleration, local landing pages — for the searches AI still defers to maps for.
One page a month. What moved, what we did, what's next. No 40-tab spreadsheets you'll never open.

FAQ
AI mentions can move within weeks — they update their answers fast. Traditional Google rankings are slower; expect meaningful movement by month three.
No honest agency can. We guarantee the inputs — quality, frequency, technical health — and report transparently on the outputs.
SEO optimises for ranked search results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) optimises for being quoted inside AI answers. They overlap but need different tactics.
No. We use AI to research, structure and accelerate — but every published piece is reviewed, fact-checked and edited by a human.
