What We Do

Get Found by People Already Searching for What You Sell

We work on visibility across Google, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other search tools through technical SEO, content, structured data, local SEO and ongoing monthly work. We take on any website, whether we built it or not, on WordPress, Shopify or other platforms, and we work with businesses on monthly retainers and one-off projects such as audits, migrations and content overhauls. Alicia and Edoardo lead the work from the first audit through to monthly reporting, so you deal with them directly rather than an account manager.

How SEO Has Changed

Three Things Now Decide Whether You Appear in Search Results

Google Needs to Trust That You're Real

Search engines and AI tools favour businesses they can verify. Your site needs to state clearly who you are, where you work, what you do and why you're qualified to do it. We build this through structured data, consistent business information across the web and content that demonstrates genuine expertise.

Are You Answering the Right Questions?

Google ranks pages that answer a search query directly. We research the exact words and questions your customers use before they compare, choose and contact a business, then build or improve pages that give them the answer. This is not writing for search engines, it is writing useful content that search engines can read.

Built for Google and AI Search

AI search tools need structured information. Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity pull answers from sites that are clearly organised, with proper headings, FAQ sections and structured data behind the scenes. Without that structure, AI tools tend to surface a better-organised competitor instead.

The Work Itself

What Is Involved in SEO Work

Every project starts with understanding what your customers are searching for, using Semrush, SE Ranking and Google Search Console to identify the terms that matter most, from high-volume searches to the longer, more specific ones that often convert best.

On-Page SEO

Clear page titles and meta descriptions, proper heading structure, page content that answers search queries directly, and internal links that make sense for visitors and search engines alike.

Technical SEO

Site speed, mobile performance, crawl errors, sitemap accuracy, robots.txt configuration and structured data, so Google and AI tools can find, read and index every page properly.

Content Creation

New pages, articles and guides built from keyword research and competitor analysis, based on your business's real services rather than generic templates or AI-generated filler.

Link Building

Genuine outreach, local partnerships, industry directories and content other sites want to reference. No purchased links, no link farms, no shortcuts that risk your domain.

Local SEO

Google Business Profile optimisation, consistent citations across local directories, review management and location-specific content that helps you rank in Google Maps and local results. See our dedicated local SEO service for more on this.

Structured Data

Schema markup, built on the Schema.org vocabulary, that describes your business, services and pages in a form search engines and AI systems can read directly, supporting rich results and AI citations alike.

Client Results

Direct Business Impact, Not Just Traffic

We work with local service businesses, ecommerce brands and growing companies across Surrey and England. These figures are pulled directly from client analytics, not rounded up for effect.

Heating Oil Today

Work began in November 2025. Within four months the site reached 3,900 active users, with organic search as the leading traffic channel, over 1,300 new visitors a month, and 137 website purchases in one 28-day period.

Emily's House London

A new WooCommerce site launched in July 2025. Since SEO work began, the site has attracted over 8,400 users, with organic search driving 53 per cent of activity and the highest engagement of any channel. Turnover grew 300 per cent after launch.

Ignite Automotive

Over 12 months, the site attracted 3,825 users, with 72 per cent from organic search. Traffic has stayed consistent month after month, with organic visitors spending over a minute on the site on average.

Next Generation Insulation

Work started in January 2026. Within two months the site moved from a flat baseline to nearly 1,000 daily users, with organic visitors averaging over two minutes per session.

Beyond Keywords

Semantic SEO and Entity Optimisation

Search engines no longer only match keywords to pages. Google builds a map of entities, the people, businesses, places and concepts that make up the real world, and uses that map to judge which sites are relevant and trustworthy for a given search. We make sure Google understands your business as one of those entities: who you are, what you do, where you're based, who runs the business, what credentials you hold and how your services relate to one another, connected through structured data and consistently organised content. A site that is just a set of pages with keywords scattered across it stays invisible to these systems. A site with clear, structured information is exactly what they're built to find.

Where Search Is Heading

AI Search Optimisation

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and voice assistants are changing how people find a business. Customers increasingly get a direct answer from an AI tool rather than scanning a list of results. We work on structured data across key pages, content written in clear question-and-answer formats where it fits, consistent and verifiable business information, and well-organised content that AI systems can read, extract and cite. This is not a separate service, it sits inside everything we do: every page we optimise and every technical change we make is built to support both AI-powered results and standard Google search at the same time.

How We Work

Frequently Asked Questions About SEO

How long does it take to see results from SEO?
Most sites see early movement in rankings and Google Business Profile visibility within 60 to 90 days, with stronger organic growth building over the following months. Next Generation Insulation reached nearly 1,000 daily users within two months, though timelines vary with your starting point and how competitive your market is.
Do you only work on websites you have built?
No, we provide SEO for any website, whether we built it or not, on WordPress, Shopify or other platforms. If the existing site can support the work, we improve it directly rather than recommending a rebuild you don't need.
What is the difference between SEO and web design?
Web design covers how your site looks and functions, while SEO covers whether people can find it in the first place. A well-designed site with no SEO work behind it can still stay invisible in search results, and the two work best when planned together from the start. See our web design service for more on that side of things.
What is structured data and why does it matter for SEO?
Structured data is code, typically built on the Schema.org vocabulary, added to your pages that describes your business, services and content in a form search engines and AI tools can read directly, rather than having to guess. It supports rich results in Google and gives AI systems like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews something concrete to cite when recommending a business.
What tools do you use for SEO?
We use Semrush, SE Ranking and Google Search Console for keyword research and rank tracking, alongside Google Analytics for measuring traffic and engagement. Tools support the work, they don't replace the judgement behind which pages and keywords actually matter for your business.
Can SEO help my business appear in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
Yes, a site with clear structured data, consistent business information and well-organised, genuinely useful content gives AI tools something specific to extract and cite. There's no guaranteed method for a particular AI citation, but the same fundamentals that earn strong Google rankings are what support AI visibility too.
