AI SEO Agency
in Cheshire
We're a founder-led SEO agency in Chester, and we use AI tooling every working day — to research keywords at a scale no human could match, build content briefs from live search data, crawl sites continuously and map internal links across hundreds of pages. What we don't do is let a machine run your strategy. AI does the heavy lifting; people make the decisions. The result is what SEO has always been about — rankings, traffic, enquiries — delivered faster, from £499 a month.
Both checks are free and tell you where you stand before you spend a penny.

How to get cited by AI search
What it takes to show up in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews.
What our AI SEO consultants actually do
"AI SEO consultant" can mean almost anything in 2026 — from someone who pastes prompts into ChatGPT to a team that has rebuilt its whole workflow around the tooling. Here's exactly where AI sits in ours, and exactly where it doesn't.
AI-assisted keyword research
We cluster thousands of search queries by intent using AI — work that used to take days of manual spreadsheet sorting. A consultant then decides which clusters are commercially worth chasing for your business. The machine finds the patterns; a person picks the battles.
Content briefs from live SERP data
Before a page is written, AI reads the current top-ranking results and drafts the brief — headings, questions to answer, entities to cover, internal links to include. A human checks it makes commercial sense and adds what only local knowledge can.
Technical SEO audits
Crawlers surface the raw issues; AI triages hundreds of flagged URLs into the handful that actually affect rankings. A consultant verifies each one and either fixes it or explains to your developer exactly what to change.
Internal-link analysis and automation
We map your whole site’s link graph programmatically — orphan pages, missed anchor opportunities, sections that hoard authority. The kind of analysis a manual review never finishes, done on every site we manage.
Rank tracking that explains itself
Positions are tracked daily, and AI summarises the movement — what changed, which pages drove it, what the likely cause was. Your monthly report tells you why rankings moved, not just that they did.
What stays human
Strategy, prioritisation, judgement, every word that gets published, and every conversation with you. No machine signs anything off, and no report goes out without the person who did the work reading it first.
The honest version of why this matters: most of what a traditional SEO retainer pays for is research and admin. Pulling keyword data, sorting it, checking what competitors rank for, re-crawling the site, updating the tracking sheet. It's necessary work, but it isn't the work that moves rankings — that comes from the decisions made on top of it. AI compresses the research from days into hours, which means a £499 retainer with us buys more thinking and more doing, not just more reporting.
And because we're founder-led and based in Chester rather than reselling an offshore white-label, the person who builds your strategy is the person you speak to. Our phone is answered 24/7 on +44 333 041 3357 — by design, since we build AI receptionists too.
AI SEO vs traditional SEO
The goal hasn't changed — rank well, get found, win enquiries. What's changed is how long the groundwork takes, and therefore what your monthly fee actually buys.
| Area | Traditional SEO | AI SEO (our approach) |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword research | Days of manual spreadsheet sorting | Thousands of queries clustered by intent in hours |
| Content briefs | Written from scratch, page by page | Drafted by AI from live SERP data, checked by a human |
| Technical audits | Periodic crawls, manual triage | Continuous crawls with AI-prioritised fixes |
| Internal linking | Ad hoc, when someone remembers | Whole-site link graph mapped programmatically |
| Rank tracking | Monthly snapshot | Daily, with the movement explained |
| Strategy and judgement | Human | Still human — that part doesn’t change |
| Writing sign-off | Human | Human — nothing publishes unread |
| Cost | The same hours cost more | From £499/mo |
One thing we won't claim: that AI replaces SEO judgement. It doesn't. A clustering model can tell you that fifty queries share an intent; it can't tell you whether ranking for them will make your phone ring. That call — and every word published under your name — stays with a person.
AI SEO and AI search (GEO) — two halves of the same job
The phrase "AI SEO" gets used for two different things, and it's worth being precise because you probably need both.
Using AI to do SEO
Everything on this page so far: AI-assisted research, briefs, audits, link mapping and tracking, aimed at ranking your site higher on Google and Bing. The destination is the same as it's always been — page one for searches that bring you customers.
That's this service, from £499/month.
Optimising for AI search
Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the other half: structuring your content, schema and brand presence so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews cite your business when people ask them for recommendations. Different ranking signals, different tactics, same underlying research.

In practice the two halves feed each other. The entity research, FAQ schema and clearly structured answers that help Google rank you are the same things large language models extract when deciding who to cite. We saw exactly this on the headless Shopify build for Tropical Fish Co, where the same groundwork got the store cited by ChatGPT and lifted search impressions +117%. When we build an AI SEO campaign for a Cheshire business, GEO isn't an add-on — it's baked into how every page is written and marked up.
