Technical SEO, content, links and local visibility, plus AI SEO for ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Built around your goals and measured with clear reporting.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of making your website easy for Google and AI search engines to find, understand and trust, so it appears when customers search for what you sell, without paying for each click.
It has four parts: technical SEO (speed, indexing, structure), on-page SEO (content and keywords), off-page SEO (links and reputation) and, increasingly, AI search optimisation so tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews cite you. This guide explains each type, what to expect month by month, and how to choose who does it.
