Ranking for words that do not buy.
Page one for a query with no purchase intent is page one for nothing. Volume is easy to report and easy to confuse with value.
Services
Rank for what makes money.
Most search programmes optimise for volume. We optimise for intent — the queries a customer types when they are ready to buy. For DTC, Shopify and Amazon brands that measure search in revenue, not positions.

The problem
Three reasons search stops paying for itself.
More traffic does not mean more revenue. Most programmes fail not for lack of effort but because the wrong work is done first.
Google cannot rank what it cannot render.
A four-second LCP, render-blocking scripts, a robots file that quietly excludes the pages that matter. The fixes are visible to anyone who looks. Most agencies have not looked.
Content nobody links to. Pages nobody can reach.
Thin pages, orphaned URLs, internal links pointing nowhere useful, and a backlink profile built from directories. The architecture is rebuilt before a single keyword is touched.
The work
Concrete work, not strategy decks.
Four streams that run in parallel. Quick wins land in week two; compounding wins show between months three and six.
Technical
The plumbing nobody else fixes.
- Full crawl and render audit
- Core Web Vitals: LCP, INP, CLS
- Schema and structured data
- Robots, sitemap and canonical hygiene
On-page
The most under-used lever in search.
- Product, category and collection page rewrites
- Titles, descriptions, heading hierarchy
- Internal linking architecture
- Cannibalisation detection and consolidation
Content
Buyer intent, not search volume.
- Commercial-intent keyword research
- Topic clusters and pillar architecture
- Quarterly plan, monthly delivery
- Removing content that is hurting you — often 30 to 60% of existing pages
Authority
Links earned, not bought.
- Digital PR and content-led outreach
- Guest contributions on relevant publications only
- Mention monitoring and reclamation
- No PBNs, no link farms, no domain risk
How it goes
How an engagement actually goes.
Real timelines. By day eight we are shipping work, not scheduling discovery calls.
- Days 1–7
Audit and plan.
Crawl, render, Core Web Vitals, schema, backlink profile, and a content gap analysis against your three closest competitors. Week one ends with a written plan: priorities, owners, dates.
- Days 8–30
First wave.
On-page fixes live, schema deployed, the most painful technical issues resolved. Content strategy agreed and the first pieces commissioned.
- Months 2–3
Compound.
Content shipping, links acquired, internal linking restructured, cannibalisation cleaned up. Expect the first movement on competitive terms and the traffic mix shifting from informational to transactional.
- Months 4–12
Scale and sustain.
Fortnightly cadence becomes monthly. Rankings compound and new targets open up. Revenue follows rankings, not the other way round.
Proof
From nowhere on Google to page one in fourteen months.
A North American D2C luggage brand arrived in late 2024 with no search programme at all — no on-page work, no technical foundation, no content, and no presence for any commercial term that mattered. Fourteen months later: page one, and organic revenue more than tripled.

Fit
Who this is for, and who it is not.
Most agency pages only say who they are for. The second column is what makes the first one credible.
A good fit
- DTC, Shopify and Amazon brands of any size
- A real product with a real proposition
- Founders who understand search is a six-to-twelve-month compounding game
- Willing to invest in content, not just keywords
- Regulated categories most agencies refuse — vape, cannabis, supplements
Not a good fit
- Wanting page one in thirty days; search does not work that way
- Not willing to invest in content — search without content is plumbing without water
- Wanting a forty-page monthly deck
- Looking for a black-hat shortcut
- Needing an account manager; you work directly with the person doing the work
Questions
The questions every founder asks.
If one is missing, raise it on the call.
How long until results?
Technical and on-page wins show within four to six weeks. Movement on competitive commercial terms takes three to four months. Sustained revenue impact arrives from month six and compounds from there. Anyone promising faster is either overstating or risking your domain.
Do you build links?
Yes — earned, not bought. Digital PR, content-led outreach and guest contributions on publications your customers read. Nothing that puts the domain at risk.
Is AEO and GEO included?
It is a separate engagement with its own scope, deliverables and measures, though the entity, schema and content work overlap. Most clients run both.
Do you work in regulated categories?
Yes, including cannabis equipment, supplements and vape. Ad policies do not apply to organic search, so the field is more level than people assume; the constraints are on content and link building, and we know them.
How do you report?
No written reports. Fortnightly calls for the first two months, then monthly, with a live dashboard available at any time. The hours go into fixing things rather than formatting them.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly, no lock-in. Our longest client relationship is now in its seventh year because the work holds, not because anything was signed.
What if rankings drop?
Sometimes they will; algorithm updates happen. What matters is what follows: identify what changed, tell you on a call rather than by email, and ship fixes within the week. Recovery is the test of a search partner.
