SEO, GEO & AEO
Technical SEO
- Semantic HTML with one H1 per page and a logical heading order
- Unique title, meta description and canonical URL on every page
- Open Graph and Twitter card tags sized for link previews
- XML sitemap plus a robots file that allows the public sections
- Breadcrumbs and descriptive internal linking between related pages
- Image optimisation, lazy loading and modern formats (WebP/AVIF)
- Mobile-first layout and Core Web Vitals budgets for each template
- Redirect map and handled 404 pages to avoid duplicate or dead URLs
- LocalBusiness and Service schema with real service-area data
GEO — generative engines
- Clear entity definition: who the business is, what it sells, where it operates
- Structured data so machines can read services, pricing and contact details
- First-party facts stated on-page instead of only in images
- Topic clusters that cover a subject fully rather than one thin page
- Consistent name, address and contact details across every listing
- Named authors and sources for any claim that needs backing
- Service-area pages that name the towns actually covered
AEO — answer engines
- Question-shaped headings that match how people actually ask
- A short direct answer block under each question before the detail
- FAQ sections drawn from real sales and support questions
- How-to and step-by-step formats for process-led topics
- Comparison and alternatives pages written without overstating claims
- Glossary entries defining the terms used across the site
- Cost-question pages answering 'how much does X cost' honestly with ranges
These practices improve discoverability; no ranking or AI-search inclusion is guaranteed.
