Stop Treating SEO and AI Search as Separate Problems

Most businesses either have no real SEO strategy, or they have one that was built for how search worked several years ago. At the same time, AI search platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews are changing how people find and evaluate businesses, and most strategies have not caught up.

Working with a strategy that only accounts for traditional rankings means missing the audience that is increasingly researching, comparing and deciding through AI-generated answers. Working with no strategy at all means every SEO decision is made in isolation, without a clear sense of priority or long-term direction.

An SEO & AI Search Strategy engagement solves both problems. You get one clear roadmap that treats classic search and AI search as part of the same discipline, prioritised around your actual business goals rather than generic best practices.

When This Service Makes Sense

This service is designed for businesses that want a serious, long-term approach to organic visibility rather than a one-off list of recommendations.

You may benefit from an SEO & AI Search Strategy engagement if:

You have never had a documented SEO strategy
Your current approach is a list of disconnected tactics rather than a plan
You want to prepare your visibility for AI search platforms, not just Google
Your team needs a clear roadmap to align around
You are launching a new product, market or website and need a search plan from day one
Previous SEO work has produced activity but not meaningful business results
You want a strategic partner rather than a list of monthly deliverables
Leadership wants to understand how SEO investment connects to commercial goals
You need someone who can both plan the strategy and help deliver it

If you are looking for a single audit or a short review, my SEO Audit or SEO Second Opinion services may be a better fit. This service is for businesses ready to commit to an ongoing strategic direction.

How I Approach Your Strategy

Every strategy starts with your business goals, not a generic SEO checklist. I build the roadmap around what will genuinely move your business forward, then help you execute it.

Initial Analysis & Audit

I start with a full analysis of your current organic performance, technical foundation, content, competitive landscape and presence in AI search results. This becomes the baseline for everything that follows.

Strategic Roadmap

Based on the analysis, I build a 6 to 12 month roadmap that sequences the work by expected impact. You will always know what matters most right now and why.

Technical SEO Foundation

I make sure your website's technical foundation supports both traditional crawling and the newer patterns used by AI crawlers and agents, so nothing in the roadmap is undermined by structural issues.

Content & Topical Strategy

I identify the content that will build topical authority and target the queries, questions and comparisons that matter most to your business, across both search engines and AI-generated answers.

AI Search Visibility

I assess how your brand currently appears (or doesn't appear) in AI search tools, and build recommendations to improve how your business is represented, cited and recommended by AI platforms.

Execution & Iteration

Strategy without execution doesn't move the needle. I work with you or your team to implement the roadmap, review results regularly and adjust priorities as search continues to evolve.

What You Receive

This is a long-term partnership, not a single deliverable. Over the course of the engagement you receive:

A full audit of your current SEO and AI search visibility
A prioritised 6 to 12 month strategic roadmap
Clear recommendations across technical, content and AI search visibility
Ongoing execution support, at the level you need
Regular check-ins to review progress and adjust priorities
Direct access to an experienced SEO consultant, not a junior account manager
A strategy that evolves as search engines and AI platforms change

The goal is not a document that sits unused. It is a working roadmap that guides real decisions, month after month.

A Strategy Built for Where Search Is Going

Most SEO strategies are still built entirely around traditional rankings. That is no longer enough. AI Overviews, chat-based assistants and AI search agents are becoming a meaningful source of traffic and brand exposure, and the businesses that adapt early have an advantage.

This does not mean abandoning traditional SEO. Strong technical foundations, quality content and authority still matter, and in many cases they are exactly what AI platforms rely on to generate their answers. What changes is how that work is prioritised and structured, so that the same effort builds visibility in both traditional and AI-powered search.

How We Work Together

1. Discovery & Goal Setting

We start by understanding your business goals, target audience and what success actually looks like for you, not just SEO metrics in isolation.

2. Audit & Analysis

I conduct a full audit of your technical SEO, content, competitive landscape and current AI search visibility to establish a clear baseline.

3. Roadmap Development

I build your 6 to 12 month strategic roadmap, prioritised by expected impact, and walk you through the reasoning behind each recommendation.

4. Execution & Ongoing Support

We move into execution, whether that means me implementing the work directly, guiding your internal team, or working alongside your existing agency or developers.

5. Review & Adapt

We review results on a regular cadence and adjust the roadmap as your business, the competitive landscape and search itself continue to change.

Who This Service Is For

This service is best suited to businesses that are serious about organic growth as a long-term channel, not a short-term project.

It works well for:

Growing businesses that have never had a proper SEO strategy
Companies preparing to invest seriously in organic growth
Businesses that want to be positioned well in AI search, not just Google
Leadership teams that want SEO tied clearly to commercial outcomes
Organisations that need an experienced strategic partner, not just a task list

Why Work With Me

I have more than 10 years of SEO experience, including senior agency roles and hands-on work running my own websites. That combination means I understand both how to build a strategy and what it actually takes to execute one.

I stay close to how AI search is evolving, rather than treating it as a side topic. The strategies I build reflect how people are actually finding and evaluating businesses today, not just how search worked a few years ago.

You get a strategic partner who is equally comfortable setting direction and doing the hands-on work required to get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an engagement typically last?

Most engagements run for 6 to 12 months, which is generally enough time to establish a strategy, execute the highest-priority work and start seeing meaningful results. Many clients continue beyond that as an ongoing partnership.

Do you handle execution, or just strategy?

Both. I can build the roadmap and hand it off to your team, execute it directly, or work alongside your existing team or agency, depending on what you need.

How do you factor in AI search platforms?

I assess your current visibility across AI search tools and build specific recommendations to improve how your business is represented and cited, alongside your traditional SEO work.

What if I already have an SEO strategy?

I can review and build on an existing strategy rather than starting from scratch, particularly if it needs to be extended to account for AI search.

Is this suitable for a small business?

Yes. The roadmap is scaled to your resources. A small business roadmap looks different from an enterprise one, but the same disciplined, prioritised approach applies.

What do you need from us to get started?

Access to your analytics, Search Console, website and any existing SEO materials, plus time from a key stakeholder for the discovery conversation.
