SEARCH AND AI VISIBILITY FOR THE 2026 SEARCH LANDSCAPE.

We run technical SEO, content strategy, and Generative Engine Optimisation programs for ecommerce and hospitality brands. From schema and Core Web Vitals through to llms.txt, AI crawler accessibility, and citation-ready content, we earn visibility on Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.

Search has changed. The brands that win the next ten years are the ones citable by the answer engines, not just rankable on the blue links. We work to current Google and LLM behaviour, not playbooks from two years ago.

WEEK PROJECT DELIVERY

Technical SEO

Crawl, indexability, schema, Core Web Vitals, security headers.

WHY THE POPULAR AGENCY

Search has changed. Most agencies are still working from playbooks written before AI Overviews launched. We are not.

Built for the 2026 Search Landscape

Current Google and LLM behaviour, not stale 2023 guidance.

AI Search Native

We have been shipping GEO programs since AI Overviews went live.

Engineering and Content in One Team

No handoffs between technical SEO and a content team that never speak.

Honest Reporting

What moved, what did not, and why. Including the months we got it wrong.

Citation Over Ranking

We measure brand mention share in LLMs, not just keyword positions.

Local and International Ready

GBP, hreflang, and multi-region setups handled in-house.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does a branding project include?

+

Every project is scoped to your needs, but typically includes brand strategy, visual identity (logo, colour, typography), brand guidelines, and initial creative applications like business cards, social templates, or pitch decks.

How long does a brand and website project take?

+

Most projects run between 6 and 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Timelines depend on scope, but we always agree on a clear schedule before starting.

Both. We work with early-stage companies building their first brand and established businesses going through a rebrand or repositioning.

What happens after launch?

We offer ongoing retainer packages covering creative support, content, campaign management, and website updates. Most clients stay with us long after launch.
