SEO AND AEO

Get cited, not just crawled

Technical foundations, an information architecture that matches how people ask, and content structured so both search engines and answer engines can quote it.

What this is

Written to be quoted, not just indexed

Search engines rank pages. Answer engines pick passages, attribute them to a source and drop the rest. Both start from the same base: a site that renders and loads cleanly, a structure that groups related topics, pages that answer a specific question in the first screen, and markup that states what the page is about. Answer engine visibility is influenced by that work, never purchased and never guaranteed by us or anyone else.

This is for you if

  • Your pages appear in search results but the traffic never reaches anyone who could buy.
  • Assistants summarise your category and name competitors while your site goes unmentioned.
  • You publish regularly, and each new page competes with two older ones you forgot about.

This is not the right fit if the goal is ranking without changing the site. If the technical base, the structure and the content are all off limits, there is nothing left to work with, and any promise made on top of that would be dishonest.

Scope

What we build

Technical audit and fixes

Rendering, status codes, canonicals, duplication, sitemaps, load behaviour and crawl waste, with the fixes implemented rather than listed.

Entity and topic map

What your business is, the topics you can credibly own, and one page per real question instead of several pages competing for the same one.

Structured data

Organisation, service, article and breadcrumb markup that matches what the page actually shows, validated rather than assumed.

Internal linking model

A defined relationship between hub and detail pages, so a new page inherits context instead of sitting alone.

Publishing standard

A written format for new pages: the question, the direct answer, the supporting detail, the markup and the links, so quality does not depend on who writes.

Monitoring both surfaces

Search performance tracked alongside checks on how answer engines describe and cite your topics, reviewed on a cadence.

How it goes

From invisible to cited

  1. 01

    Audit and baseline

    One to two weeks

    Technical crawl, index state, existing coverage, and a recorded baseline of how answer engines currently describe your topics.

  2. 02

    Architecture and markup

    Two to four weeks

    Topic map agreed, duplicates consolidated, technical fixes shipped, structured data and internal linking implemented.

  3. 03

    Content standard in use

    Three to six weeks

    The publishing standard applied to a first set of pages, with your team writing alongside us so it survives after we stop.

  4. 04

    Review cycle

    Monthly, ongoing

    Search and answer engine checks, gaps turned into a next page, and the standard adjusted by what is being cited.
