Umbraco SEO & Content Strategy.

SEO and content strategies that drive growth

Found by Google. Cited by AI.

Umbraco SEO goes beyond standard search optimisation because Umbraco's architecture requires technical decisions that directly affect crawlability, indexing, and structured data output. Unlike WordPress, where plugins handle meta tags and sitemaps, Umbraco needs canonical URLs, XML sitemaps, robots.txt directives, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD schema implemented in code.

A developer who doesn't understand SEO will build an Umbraco site that's technically invisible to search engines despite looking great to users. A specialist builds one that search engines can read, trust, and rank.

Search itself has changed too. AI-powered engines now answer questions directly and cite the sources they trust, a discipline called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) that most agencies aren't yet addressing. We optimise your Umbraco site for both: found by Google, cited by AI.

Pricing

Clear pricing, no lock-in.

The process

How it works.

Month 1: audit and foundations
We audit and fix the infrastructure: XML sitemaps, canonical tags, robots.txt for traditional and AI crawlers, structured data, security headers, and Core Web Vitals.
Months 2 to 3: implementation
We restructure content for AI citability: question-based headings, definitional openings, source-attributed statistics, and llms.txt files that help AI systems understand your site.
Monthly: monitor, report, iterate
We track rankings, AI citation appearances, Core Web Vitals, and organic traffic using Plausible, Google Search Console, and manual AI platform checks.
Generative Engine Optimization

Optimised for the engines that answer, not just the ones that list.

01
AI crawler access

We configure robots.txt for AI crawlers and monitor access logs for GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot to verify your content is actually being indexed by AI systems.

02
llms.txt

We create and maintain llms.txt files, the emerging standard that helps AI systems understand your site structure and find your best content.

03
Structured data

schema.org markup (Organization, BreadcrumbList, Article, FAQ, Service) implemented in code, so both search engines and AI systems can parse exactly what your pages mean.

04
Citability scoring

Our GEO audit methodology scores every key page on a 0-100 citability scale: passage structure, source attribution density, question-answer format, and self-contained answer blocks. It predicts how likely AI systems are to cite you.

GEO is optimising your content so AI-powered engines cite your site when they answer questions directly. It sits alongside traditional SEO: found by Google, cited by AI. Most agencies are not yet addressing it, and we build it into every engagement.

Unlike WordPress, where plugins handle meta tags and sitemaps, Umbraco needs canonical URLs, XML sitemaps, robots.txt directives, Open Graph tags and JSON-LD schema implemented in code. A developer who does not understand SEO can build an Umbraco site that is technically invisible to search engines despite looking great to users.

A full technical SEO and GEO audit is £500 as a one-off. Audit plus implementation, where we do the fixes, is £1,500. The ongoing SEO retainer is £500 per month. There are no lock-in contracts: you stay because you see results.

llms.txt is an emerging standard that helps AI systems understand your site structure and find your best content. We create and maintain llms.txt files as part of GEO implementation, alongside robots.txt rules for AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, and we monitor access logs to verify your content is actually being indexed.

Monthly performance reporting, content citability improvements, schema updates, AI visibility monitoring, and a proactive response to algorithm changes. We track rankings, AI citation appearances, Core Web Vitals and organic traffic using Plausible, Google Search Console and manual AI platform checks.

Our GEO audit scores every key page on a 0-100 citability scale, looking at passage structure, source attribution density, question-and-answer format, and self-contained answer blocks. The score predicts how likely AI systems are to cite you and tells us exactly what to fix first.
