• WHAT YOU GET

SEO Discovery Services

Not a generic site crawl report. A commercially focused assessment that identifies the 10-20% of SEO recommendations that will have the most significant impact on your organic performance and revenue.


  • Share of Voice Competitor Analysis
    A detailed breakdown of your organic market share against key competitors. Understanding who owns the search landscape in your category, where you’re winning, where you’re losing, and where the realistic gaps exist for your brand to gain ground.

  • Total Addressable Market (TAM) Sizing
    Quantifying the full organic opportunity available to your business. Not just the keywords you’re already targeting, but the total search demand across your product categories and commercial verticals – giving leadership a clear picture of the ceiling and the gap between current capture and what’s possible.

  • Full-Spectrum Organic Benchmarking
    Benchmarking across technical health, content performance, authority signals, and user experience to establish a clear baseline. Understanding where your organic performance sits today so every future recommendation is measured against something concrete, not assumptions.

  • Prioritised High-Impact Recommendations
    Focused on the recommendations that move the needle. Most audit reports deliver 200 items of equal priority. Discovery recommendations are ranked by revenue potential and implementation effort, so your team knows what to do first, second, and third – and why.

  • Algorithm History & Risk Assessment
    Auditing your site’s history against major Google algorithm updates to identify past impacts and future exposure. Understanding whether organic performance trends are the result of algorithmic shifts, competitive pressure, or internal decisions – and what that means for the strategy going forward.

  • Revenue Opportunity Identification
    Mapping specific search opportunities back to revenue potential. Identifying which queries, categories, and content types represent the highest commercial value so SEO investment is directed at growth that shows up on the P&L, not just in a rankings report.

  • SEO Investment ROI Assessment
    Providing the data and projections needed to assess the long-term return on SEO investment. Giving CMOs, CFOs, and investors a credible framework for evaluating whether organic is worth the commitment – and what the expected timeline and returns look like.

Discovery Scenarios

Discovery audits are the right starting point when you need clarity before committing to a larger programme of work.


EVALUATING THE SEO OPPORTUNITY
You’re not sure whether organic search is worth the investment for your business.

Maybe you’ve been told SEO takes too long or that your industry is too competitive. Maybe a past agency delivered nothing. Before writing it off or doubling down, you need an honest, data-backed assessment of whether the organic opportunity justifies the investment for your specific business.


VISIBILITY BLIND SPOT
You don’t know whether your website has SEO problems – but you suspect something is off.

Traffic has been flat. Competitors seem to be gaining ground. But nobody on the team can say with confidence whether the site has technical issues, content gaps, or structural problems holding it back. You need an independent diagnostic before deciding what to do next.


CLARITY BEFORE COMMITMENT
You need a clear picture of current organic performance before committing to a full technical audit or retainer.
You’re not ready for a six-month engagement or a deep technical audit. What you need first is a strategic overview: where you stand, what the opportunity looks like, and whether the returns justify the next step. Discovery gives you that answer without the big upfront commitment.


BUILDING THE INTERNAL BUSINESS CASE
You need data and projections to justify increasing the internal SEO budget to leadership or investors.
You believe in the organic opportunity. But the board, the CFO, or the investors want numbers. You need a credible, externally validated assessment that quantifies the opportunity, benchmarks against competitors, and presents the ROI case in language that gets budgets approved.


POST-ACQUISITION DUE DILIGENCE
You’ve acquired a brand or are evaluating one and need to understand the organic asset value and risk profile.
The acquisition target has organic traffic, but how much of it is defensible? Has it been hit by algorithm updates? Is the traffic commercially valuable or inflated by low-intent queries? A discovery audit gives the investment team the organic due diligence they need to make an informed decision.

Global Head of SEO

What we did

Improving B2C & B2B user journeys through query intent and optimising internal page signals.

What they said

As someone who has been doing SEO for about 10 years and having worked on companies of all shapes and sizes myself, I can tell the difference between someone who gets their hands dirty and delves into the deepest regions of your site vs an SEO “expert” who pushes a button and runs a site audit report only to tell you you have “12 duplicate title tags.” Carl is definitely the former, and whenever I need a fresh set of eyes on my site, I call him.
