SEO and AI Search Help for In-house Teams

What I can do for your team

Everything here comes from work I have led myself, at a scale most teams never see.

Technical SEO audit

A deep audit of how your site signals to Google, from structure and XML sitemaps to rendering and indexing. At DoneDeal.ie an audit like this found the problems behind a year of decline, and traffic rose within days of the fixes going live.

Traffic decline diagnosis

When organic traffic is falling and nobody can say why, I find the cause and the fix. I have done this for the largest cars and property sites in Ireland.

Google penalty and algorithm recovery

I helped Totaljobs.com lift a Google penalty within a month, after the local team had worked on it for a year.

Site and domain migrations

Planning, risk review and launch support for replatforms, redesigns and domain moves. I have delivered more than ten without losing the traffic the business depends on.

International SEO

Market by market strategy for sites in many countries and languages, from my time across 26 markets and recent work in Central America and the Caribbean.

Large site and marketplace SEO

Classifieds, jobs, property, cars and listings sites, where page types, faceted navigation, crawl budget and internal links decide what ranks.

Structured data and rich results

Google for Jobs, products, listings and FAQs. One structured data project delivered a 10X increase in Google for Jobs traffic.

AI search visibility (GEO and AEO)

Measure how you appear in AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, and change what you publish so AI assistants cite and recommend you.

Conversation mapping

The real questions your customers ask, grouped by concern and ordered into conversations, with your visibility measured across seven channels and a plan for every page. See what a conversation map includes.

On-page AEO and GEO audits

Page-level advice you can copy and paste, from Citation Gap, the AI powered auditor I built for Claude and ChatGPT, with my review on top.

SEO automation

Keyword clustering, canonical page categorisation and internal linking driven by ranking and conversion data. I designed and led a platform that still powers parts of Totaljobs.com, Stepstone.de and Irishjobs.ie.

Internal linking and site architecture

A structure that tells Google and AI assistants which pages matter, built from data rather than guesswork.

Fractional or interim Head of SEO

Senior leadership a few days a month, or full time while you hire. Strategy, priorities, stakeholder management and delivery.

Building and training your team

Hiring, onboarding and mentoring. I have hired around 30 people, and some now lead SEO at companies like Aviva, Indeed and Groupon.

Developer and product training

Practical SEO requirements for engineers and product managers, so new features launch search ready.

Board and director reporting

Business cases, forecasts and reporting that leadership understands. I have reported at director level and presented at board meetings.

Budget and agency oversight

Help setting SEO budgets, choosing agencies and checking their work, from someone who has managed both sides.

M&A due diligence

Assess the search risk and upside of a site you plan to buy or merge with, before the deal closes.

Commercial strategy

Search insight turned into how you package and sell. I changed how the Totaljobs network sold to clients, from site by site licences to managed visibility across the network.

Second opinion

An independent review of a strategy, audit or migration plan before you commit to it.

Ways to work together

One-off audit or diagnosis

A fixed scope piece of work with a clear report and action plan.

Project

A migration, recovery, international rollout or automation build, from plan to launch.

Fractional Head of SEO

Ongoing senior support a set number of days each month.

Workshops and training

Half day or full day sessions for SEO, content, product and engineering teams.

Questions

Do you replace my in-house team?

No. I work with the team you have, adding senior experience where it helps most and leaving your people stronger when the work is done.

Which industries do you know best?

Large sites where search drives revenue: jobs, classifieds, property, cars and marketplaces, as well as finance, health and home services through my conversation mapping work.

Can you work with our developers directly?

Yes. Most of my audits end with tickets your developers can pick up, and I am happy to join planning and review sessions.

Do you only do AI search?

No. Classic Google SEO is still where most traffic comes from. I cover both and show you where each one matters for your business.

How do we start?

Send a short note about your site, your team and what is worrying you. I will reply with how I would approach it.
