The challenge

Prospects increasingly asked AI tools for recommendations, and the firm never came up. Its content also lacked the authority signals to rank for competitive terms.

Our approach

• Structured content with clear answers, summaries and speakable detail
• Added schema and citation-ready facts so AI tools could quote the firm
• Earned white-hat backlinks from relevant industry publications
• Aligned on-page SEO with the questions buyers actually ask

Results

• Cited — Named in AI answers
• +47% — Organic enquiries
• Page 1 — For target service terms

The outcome

The firm now shows up where buyers research, both in AI answers and in organic search, and converts that visibility into qualified enquiries.

Clients tell us they found us through an AI answer. That was unthinkable a year ago.
