Search is fragmenting. We've built one team to win all of it.


Google is competing with its own organic results. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini are intercepting purchase decisions before users open a browser tab. AI agents are about to start checking out for them.
We optimise for Google's algorithm and train AI platforms to recommend your brand inside one program - SEO and GEO, built as a single workflow.

THREE THINGS CHANGED IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS.

Search hasn't broken - it's tripled. The brands that adapt now compound for years. The brands that don't will spend the next decade explaining why their traffic graph looks the way it does.

Google is running two products at once.

The classic SERP and an AI-native experience are running in parallel inside Google. Each requires distinct optimisation. Treating them as one is the most common strategic error of 2026.

60%

of all Google searches now end with zero clicks.

AI platforms are live commercial channels.

ChatGPT Shopping, Perplexity Instant Buy, Google's Universal Commerce Protocol and OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol are not emerging trends. They are active. Brands without clean product data and off-site brand signals are already losing discovery share.

31%

more conversions from AI-referred shoppers than visitors from other channels.

Your reporting may not be telling you the truth.

Between the Google Search Console impression bug confirmed in April and the ongoing leakage of AI traffic into "direct" sessions, the data most teams rely on is incomplete.

15-25%

of "direct" traffic estimated to be AI-origin.

Three layers
of optimisation.
One discipline.

SEO drives clicks. AEO drives clarity. GEO builds credibility. Most agencies stop at the first one. We work all three as one stack, because the brands that win in 2026 need to be findable, machine-readable and trusted as a source — by Google and by the LLMs.

The query is now a recommendation request. Trust signals win.

Five pillars.
One workflow. Built to evolve.

Every OD search engagement runs on the same methodical workflow. Foundations first. Authority and content layered on top. AI visibility woven through every pillar, not bolted on at the end.

TECH

ONST

AMPL
Amplify (AIO/GEO)
The 20% beyond foundational SEO that gets you cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews. Prompt research, schema, semantic content optimisation, citation building, daily LLM tracking.

Feed hygiene
is now the front line of AI discoverability.

The Shopping Graph isn't a feature waiting to ship. It's already routing purchase intent across Al Overviews. Lens, and conversational results. The brands feeding it structured product data win the carousel. The ones who aren't, don't appear.

  • Schema is the entry ticket. Without Product, Offer and Review schema, you do not exist on this surface.

  • Inventory feeds are the signal, Real-time availability and price are now ranking factors, not just merchant inputs.

  • Reviews are the tiebreaker. Star averages and review volume decide which three products of fifty surface.
