Our SEO approach

Search visibility built in three layers

SEO is not a single tactic or a one-time checklist. It is a managed system for technical access, search relevance, content quality, authority and measurement.

Technical SEO

Crawlability, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, schema, rendering and the code-level barriers that keep pages out of search.

Content strategy

Search-intent mapping, topical coverage, on-page optimization, internal linking and entity clarity that people and AI systems can understand.

Revenue measurement

Reporting that connects rankings and visibility to qualified traffic, leads, sales and the business outcomes you agreed on at the start.

Deliverables

What search engine optimization includes

Every engagement starts with these twelve workstreams. They are adapted to your site, business model, market and implementation resources rather than sold as a generic package. For a fully managed program with a named strategist, see our professional SEO services.

Technical website audit

Crawl, indexation, speed, structured data, templates, canonicals, internal links and implementation risk.

Keyword and intent mapping

The phrases buyers actually use, mapped to page purpose, funnel stage and conversion intent.

Competitive gap review

Where competitors win with content, authority, page types and technical execution.

On-page optimization

Titles, headings, copy structure, internal links, schema, media and conversion paths.

Content recommendations

New and refreshed content that answers buyer questions and builds topical authority.

Authority and link review

Backlink quality, toxic-link risk, brand mentions, citations and authority opportunities.

Core Web Vitals

Speed and experience signals that affect crawling, usability and conversion.

Local and multi-location SEO

Location pages, local signals and Google Business Profile alignment for every market.

Ecommerce SEO

Product, category and faceted navigation, duplicate content and merchant search visibility.

Analytics and reporting

Measurement that shows rankings, traffic quality, leads, revenue and implementation progress.

AI search readiness

Entities, concise answers, schema, trust signals and content clarity for AI answer systems.

Senior SEO review

Priorities are reviewed by experienced SEO leadership before they become recommendations.

SEO strategy and execution

From audit to measurable search growth

You work with an SEO analyst and a dedicated team, with benchmark reports on rankings, historical traffic and organic search data so progress can be measured from day one.

Audit and competitive gap analysis

We set clear objectives, milestones and a plan around your business’s specific challenges. That starts with market research, competitor analysis and a close review of your site’s code and analytics to find the issues holding growth back and the opportunities to increase revenue.

Website architecture optimization

Our team combines coding, marketing and technical SEO, including programmatic optimization on custom CMS platforms and complex server configurations. We use our own tools to find broken links, canonical errors, index bloat, robots.txt and sitemap problems and toxic links, then sculpt internal linking and URL structure to build authority from the inside out.

SEO consulting for in-house teams

If you have your own developers, we can supplement them with SEO consulting instead of a fully managed campaign. We fit into your production schedule and guide on-page optimization and advanced SEO work through implementation.

Code optimization
  • Meta titles and descriptions that are compelling and keyword-relevant
  • A clear heading structure (H1, H2 and so on)
  • Lean code that improves page speed
  • Web accessibility attributes
  • Structured data (Schema.org) that matches visible content
  • Mobile-first optimization and HTTPS
  • User experience improvements to navigation and engagement
Content optimization and E-E-A-T

We select and implement the keywords that matter, write meta titles and tags, add schema and build relevant internal links. Content is structured around Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust, with verified data and regular content audits, while off-site work earns links and mentions from reputable sources.

Mobile optimization and social integration

Most searches happen on mobile devices, so every plan includes mobile recommendations, and in some cases we build the mobile experience for you. Social profiles and content support brand discovery and help earn natural links.

Conversion rate optimization

Rankings only matter when traffic converts. We analyze user behavior, run A/B tests and improve landing pages, calls to action and navigation so more visitors become leads or customers.

Ongoing SEO maintenance

Search changes constantly. Ongoing SEO keeps your site’s performance at its peak, prevents slow declines in visibility and adjusts strategy as Google and AI search evolve.

Page experience

Core Web Vitals: speed and user experience

Core Web Vitals are Google’s field metrics for loading, responsiveness and visual stability. Faster, steadier pages are easier to crawl, easier to use and more likely to convert. Getting a site “up to speed” takes testing, evaluation and technical programming knowledge, and we can take that load off your development team.

INP replaced First Input Delay (FID) as a Core Web Vital in March 2024. We review LCP, INP and CLS using current field-data thresholds.

LCPLargest Contentful Paint: how quickly the main content loads≤ 2.5 s
INPInteraction to Next Paint: how quickly the page responds to input≤ 200 ms
CLSCumulative Layout Shift: how much content moves while loading≤ 0.1
Competitive research

What is a keyword gap analysis?

A keyword or competitor gap analysis shows which searches your competitors win, where their strategy is weak and where your business can move in first.

Identify competitors

Name the businesses that target the same audience in search, not just in your market.

Analyze their keywords

Find the terms that drive their traffic and the less competitive ones that offer an entry point.

Find the gaps

Spot keywords, topics and content types they miss or underperform on.

Act on the opportunity

Prioritize the gaps that match your buyers and turn them into pages and campaigns.

SEO and AI search

How does SEO support AI citations?

SEO helps search systems access, understand and evaluate your information. A citation is a source attribution, often a link, and it is different from simply mentioning your business.

Make answers accessible

Keep important information in readable text, support crawling and indexing, and build pages that answer one specific customer question.

Make claims verifiable

Connect claims to named case studies, explain the work and the measurement period, and identify the people behind the expertise.

Measure the appearance

Record the buyer prompt, platform, date and cited page, and measure referrals and qualified inquiries separately from mentions.

Google states that its established SEO practices apply to its AI features and that no special AI markup is required. Inclusion and citations are not guaranteed. Learn more about our AI SEO services.

SEO services and AI search FAQ

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask before choosing an SEO agency.

What does search engine optimization include?

A technical audit, keyword and intent mapping, competitive gap analysis, on-page optimization, content recommendations, authority and link review, Core Web Vitals, local and ecommerce SEO where relevant, analytics and reporting, and AI search readiness, all reviewed by senior SEO leadership.

Can SEO Inc help our website appear as a source in AI answers?

We can make your site easier for AI systems to access, understand and verify, which improves your chances of being cited. Nobody can guarantee an AI citation, so we track prompts, platforms and cited pages separately from rankings and traffic.

What is the difference between an AI mention, a citation and a referral?

A mention is when an AI answer names your business. A citation is when it attributes information to your page, often with a link. A referral is an actual visit to your site from that answer. We measure all three separately.

How should I choose an SEO agency?

Compare years of experience, technical SEO depth, implementation support, transparent reporting and published case studies, and check whether the agency connects rankings to leads, sales and business outcomes.

How much do SEO services cost?

Cost depends on the size of the site, the competition in your market and how much implementation we handle. We scope the work after a strategy review so the plan matches your goals and resources.

How long does SEO take to produce results?

Technical fixes can show impact within weeks once pages are recrawled. Content and authority work usually takes several months to compound, and competitive terms take longer. We agree on milestones at the start so progress is visible along the way.

What should an SEO report measure?

Rankings and visibility, qualified organic traffic, leads or sales, revenue where it can be tracked, AI citations, and progress on the implementation plan, reported over consistent periods.

Do FAQ sections or FAQ schema guarantee AI citations?

No. Clear question-and-answer content helps people and machines understand a page, but no markup guarantees inclusion in AI answers or rich results.

Why are case studies important when evaluating SEO services?

Case studies show the client’s situation, the work done and the measured result. They are the best way to check whether an agency has solved a problem like yours.

Which Core Web Vitals should an SEO team review?

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP) and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), using real-user field data. INP replaced First Input Delay in March 2024.
