Slow static assets
Large CSS/JS files block rendering. In London, this typically surfaces as log spikes, faceted loops, and soft-duplicate paths that compete for the same queries.
Impact: Poor Core Web Vitals Our audits in London usually find wasted crawl on parameterized URLs and mixed-case aliases that never convert.
Remediation: Immutable caching for assets in .htaccess We ship rule-sets, tests, and monitors so consolidation persists through releases. Deliverables: Asset optimization, caching. Expected result: Improved page speed.
- Before/After sitemap diffs
- Coverage & Discovered URLs trend
- Param allowlist vs. strip rules
- Canonical and hreflang spot-checks
Oversized sitemaps
>50MB or >50k URLs per file. In London, this typically surfaces as log spikes, faceted loops, and soft-duplicate paths that compete for the same queries.
Impact: Crawl inefficiency Our audits in London usually find wasted crawl on parameterized URLs and mixed-case aliases that never convert.
Remediation: Shard to ≤10k + gzip We ship rule-sets, tests, and monitors so consolidation persists through releases. Deliverables: +index + robots. Expected result: Faster discovery.
- Before/After sitemap diffs
- Coverage & Discovered URLs trend
- Param allowlist vs. strip rules
- Canonical and hreflang spot-checks
Governance & Monitoring
We operationalize ongoing checks: URL guards, schema validation, and crawl-stat alarms so improvements persist in London.
- Daily diffs of sitemaps and canonicals
- Param drift alerts

Traditional SEO Misses AI-Specific Signals
Keyword optimization and backlinks matter, but AI engines prioritize different signals: entity clarity, semantic structure, verification signals, and metadata completeness. Our Technical seo approach in London addresses the GEO-16 framework pillars that determine AI citation success, going beyond traditional SEO metrics.
Technical Debt Compounds Over Time
Every parameter-polluted URL, every inconsistent schema implementation, every ambiguous entity reference makes your site harder for AI engines to understand. In London, where competition is fierce and technical complexity is high, accumulated technical debt can cost you thousands of potential citations. We systematically eliminate this debt.

Implementation Timeline
Our typical engagement in London follows a structured four-phase approach designed to deliver measurable improvements quickly while building sustainable optimization practices:
Phase 1: Discovery & Audit (Week 1-2) — Comprehensive technical audit covering crawl efficiency, schema completeness, entity clarity, and AI engine visibility. We analyze your current state across all GEO-16 framework pillars and identify quick wins alongside strategic opportunities.
Phase 2: Implementation & Optimization (Week 3-6) — Systematic implementation of recommended improvements, including URL normalization, schema enhancement, content optimization, and technical infrastructure updates. Each change is tested and validated before deployment.
Phase 3: Validation & Monitoring (Week 7-8) — Rigorous testing of all implementations, establishment of monitoring systems, and validation of improvements through crawl analysis, rich results testing, and AI engine citation tracking.
Phase 4: Ongoing Optimization (Month 3+) — Continuous monitoring, iterative improvements, and adaptation to evolving AI engine requirements. Regular reporting on citation accuracy, crawl efficiency, and visibility metrics.
