These numbers belong to the Growth Click group, GrowthSEO's parent agency, and cover every service and brand in the group — they are not exclusive to SEO or GEO. GrowthSEO is a new brand and we will publish its own results as soon as there is enough track record to do so accurately.

What we do

Seven SEO and GEO pillars. Two kinds of search. One single strategy.

Google is no longer the only place people look for you. We work the classic SEO that makes your site climb and the GEO that makes your name appear in AI-generated answers — same team, same plan, no second invoice.

Technical audit

Before writing a line of content, we make sure Google and the AI crawlers can reach your pages, read them and understand them. It is the foundation — without it, everything else yields half as much.

  • Full site crawl and indexing diagnosis
  • Core Web Vitals, rendering and mobile performance
  • Structured data (Schema.org) and entity signals
  • Canonicals, redirects, duplicate content and wasted crawl budget

On-page SEO

Every page starts answering one concrete search intent, with the semantic structure Google uses to understand what you are talking about. Fewer pages competing with each other, more pages ranking.

  • Intent map: one page, one question, one answer
  • Titles, meta descriptions and heading hierarchy
  • Internal linking and authority distribution
  • Cannibalisation resolved and weak pages consolidated

Content and keywords

We pick the searches that make money, not the ones that make the report look good. Then we build content in topic clusters that turn you into the obvious reference on your subject.

  • Keyword research by intent and commercial value
  • Topic clusters and topical authority
  • SEO writing and editing with specialist validation
  • Refreshing and strengthening the content you already have

Link building and authority

Authority is not bought by the unit: it is built with mentions that make sense. We work on links and citations from real sources in your sector — the ones that count for Google and exactly the ones AI models read.

  • Editorial backlinks on relevant sector websites
  • Digital PR and brand mentions
  • Link profile hygiene and cleaning up toxic legacies
  • Citations and presence in directories and sources LLMs consult

Local SEO

For anyone with an address, a shop or a service area: showing up on the map and in "near me" searches is often the most profitable channel there is — and the most neglected.

  • An optimised, active Google Business Profile
  • Pages by location and by service area
  • NAP consistency and local citations
  • Reviews, replies and reputation

E-commerce SEO

In an online store, SEO is played out in categories and filters, not in the blog. We organise the catalogue — on Shopify, WooCommerce or whichever platform you use — so every page has a reason to exist and to rank.

  • Catalogue architecture and category pages
  • Product pages and structured data for products and reviews
  • Facets, filters, pagination and duplicate-page control
  • Out-of-stock products, seasonality and cannibalisation between variants

GEO and AEO — AI search

More and more people ask the question and read the answer without clicking anything. GEO prepares your content to be the source of that answer — in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews.

  • Content structured to be extracted and cited by language models
  • Entities, sameAs and a coherent brand graph across platforms
  • Monitoring the questions your brand should appear in
  • Access rules for AI crawlers in robots.txt and equivalent files
What sets us apart

Search split in two. We work both halves.

SEO is still sold as if search were only the old half: rankings on Google. But a growing share of searches now ends in an AI-generated answer, where there are no ten blue links — there are two or three sources cited. GrowthSEO is the only brand in the Growth Click group dedicated exclusively to this, and it handles both halves in the same plan: what makes you climb the classic results and what makes you the source AI picks.

  • Classic SEO that holds upTechnical work, content and authority — the work that still brings the bulk of the traffic and that no shortcut replaces.
  • GEO that puts you in the answerStructured content, consistent entities and trusted sources: what makes a model choose you to cite.
  • One team, one plan, one reportNo hiring two agencies for the same problem, and no discovering halfway through that one is undoing the other's work.

How we work

A visibility method, not a task list

1

Visibility audit

We crawl the site, measure where you stand on Google and test where your brand appears (or does not) in AI answers. You leave with a document that is yours, whether you go ahead or not.

Week 1
2

Strategy and priorities

We define the searches that make money, the technical roadmap, the content plan and the AI questions to win — in order of impact.

Weeks 2 and 3
3

Continuous execution

Technical fixes, content published, authority built and structure prepared to be cited. Every month, without stopping.

From month 1
4

Measurement and scale

We review rankings, traffic, conversions and AI citations. What works gets scaled; what does not leaves the plan.

Monthly cycle
Plans

Three starting points. The SEO plan is always designed to fit.

No two sites start from the same place: some need the house put in order, some need to scale content and some are defending a position in a tough market. Pick the starting point — the rest is settled in the proposal.

Foundation

For newly launched sites, or ones that have never had structured SEO work — and where nobody knows exactly what is holding growth back.

On requestScope and price fixed in the proposal

  • Full technical audit: crawling, indexing and Core Web Vitals
  • Fixing the technical priorities identified
  • Keyword research and an intent map per page
  • On-page SEO on the pages that already bring traffic or revenue
  • Essential structured data and Google Search Console setup
  • Monthly report with a walkthrough meeting
Request a proposal →

Authority

For brands in competitive markets, publishers and stores with thousands of URLs — where SEO is played at scale and a botched migration costs months.

On requestScope and price fixed in the proposal

  • Everything in Growth
  • SEO at scale: catalogue architecture, facets, filters and pagination
  • International and multilingual SEO (hreflang)
  • Migrations and platform changes supervised to protect the rankings you have won
  • Digital PR and brand authority building
  • A dedicated specialist and weekly meetings
Request a proposal →

We do not publish rate cards because we do not work to one: what SEO costs depends on the size of the site, its technical condition and how competitive your sector is. The audit is free and the proposal has fixed scope and price, with no surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about SEO and GEO

SEO stands for search engine optimisation: the work of making Google find your pages, understand what they are about and show them to people looking for what you sell. In practice there are four fronts — the technical side (crawling, indexing, speed, structured data), content (choosing the right searches and answering them better than anyone else), authority (links and mentions from credible sources) and measurement. An agency handles all four together and in order of impact, instead of doing one and hoping the others sort themselves out. We add a fifth: GEO, so the same content gets cited by the engines that answer with AI.

SEO is a medium-term investment. The first signs — technical improvements, pages starting to climb, more impressions in Search Console — usually appear between the third and sixth month. Solid, stable results are typically built from six to twelve months onwards. It depends heavily on the current state of the site, the age of the domain and how contested your sector is. Anyone promising results in four weeks is selling you something else.

We have no rate card and no one-size-fits-all retainer, because the effort varies enormously: a twenty-page site is nothing like a store with five thousand URLs. After the free audit you receive a proposal with fixed scope and price — what we do, how often and how we measure it. No hidden costs and no work we cannot justify to you.

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization: optimising your presence for the engines that answer with AI — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini. In those environments there are no ten results: there is one answer with two or three sources cited. The difference from classic SEO is the goal — SEO works for the click, GEO works for the citation — but the foundation is the same: well-structured content, authority and trust signals. You will also hear it called AEO or LLMO. Anyone not structured to be that source simply disappears from the conversation. It is new, yes — and that is exactly why there is still time to arrive early.

First you have to work out whether the problem is indexing or ranking, because they are different things. If Google does not even have the pages, the cause is usually a robots.txt block, a stray noindex left over from staging, badly pointed canonicals, or a site that only assembles itself with JavaScript. If the pages are indexed but do not show up, the problem is different: there is no content answering what people search for, there is no authority, or you have several pages competing for the same search. The visibility audit separates the two cases in the very first crawl.

No, and be suspicious of anyone who does. Google uses hundreds of factors nobody controls and changes the algorithm continuously. What we do guarantee is method: an honest diagnosis, justified priorities, documented work and measurement that looks at qualified traffic and conversions, not just at rankings in a report.

It is worth more, not less — but it changes shape. AI models do not invent sources: they read the web, and they favour well-structured content from sites with authority and trust signals. In other words, the technical and authority work that has always served SEO is the same work that makes you citable by AI. The mistake is standing still, waiting to see where this goes.

Ask for an audit before signing anything and watch for three things. First: if they guarantee rankings or results in weeks, you already know what the proposal is worth. Second: ask who does the work — will you talk to the specialist who touches the site, or to a salesperson who disappears after the signature? Third: insist on seeing the plan and the measurement approach before there is an invoice, and check that the measurement looks at qualified traffic and conversions, not just at pretty rankings in a report. If they cannot justify each task to you, it is not the right agency.

It depends, and we will tell you straight. We run the audit, look at what has been done and what is holding growth back, and show you what we would do differently. If the current work is solid and only the GEO layer is missing, we say that too — working against a strategy that already works is in nobody's interest.

Have you tried asking ChatGPT about yourself?

Try it: ask an AI engine who it recommends in your sector and see whether you show up. Then talk to us. The visibility audit is a free SEO audit of your site, it covers Google and the AI answer engines, and it stays with you even if you decide not to go ahead.
