At a Glance

Six Surfaces Where Search Actually Happens

Search isn't one channel anymore. Six discovery surfaces shape where audiences find content, products, videos, and answers — each with its own ranking signals and its own optimisation logic.

Video

YouTube, Google Video, and Vimeo visibility — the discovery surface most brands publish to but never optimise for.

Platforms

Each platform has its own ranking signals — A9 for Amazon, Cassini for eBay, YouTube search, Vimeo discovery. Platform-native strategy, not generic SEO.

Discover

Google Discover, Google News, and topic-driven discovery surfaces — where readers find content they weren't searching for.

Apps

App Store Optimization (ASO) — ranking in App Store and Google Play for the queries your category actually converts on.

AI

AI Overviews, LLM answers, and the visibility that matters when ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini respond with your brand's content.

Visibility

Measured across every surface — not just 'organic sessions' — so you see where your brand shows up and where it doesn't.

Is This Right for You?

When You Need Specialized & Media SEO

Eight situations where standard web SEO isn't enough — and where platform-native, asset-specific, and AI-era SEO work unlocks visibility competitors already own.

"Your media assets aren't being discovered — you invested in video, podcasts, or rich content, but they live unseen inside your site and platform-native discovery never surfaces them"

Asset-level SEO diagnosis identifies which platform each asset type belongs on, what optimisation it's missing, and where discoverability is currently capped by missing metadata or context.

"Your video content exists but gets weak search visibility — YouTube uploads sit at a few hundred views, Google Video doesn't surface them, and the investment isn't returning discovery"

Video SEO — YouTube-specific optimisation (titles, descriptions, tags, chapters, thumbnails) plus Google Video indexing (structured data, transcripts, schema) — so videos rank where viewers actually look.

"Your app needs stronger store discoverability — downloads come from paid and brand search, but App Store and Google Play organic barely registers despite a quality app"

App Store Optimization (ASO) — keyword targeting, metadata, visuals, review velocity, and the store-ranking signals that separate apps visible to category browsers from ones that only get downloaded via direct links.

"Your brand is missing exposure in news or discover-style surfaces — you publish regularly but never appear in Google Discover, Google News, or topic-driven feeds where category readers find new content"

Discover and News SEO — editorial signals, content-freshness strategy, Google News approval (where relevant), and the topical authority work that qualifies content for discovery-driven surfacing.

"Your SEO strategy is still limited to standard webpages — everyone else in your category is showing up in video results, Discover, AI Overviews, and App Store searches, while you only appear in classic web results"

Multi-surface SEO expansion — prioritising which discovery surfaces your category actually pays attention to, then building per-surface visibility in the order that delivers the highest commercial return.

"You need visibility in AI-driven search environments — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini are citing competitors when users ask about your category, and you don't show up"

AI SEO strategy — content structure and entity signals that LLMs cite, authoritative source signals, and the optimisation pattern that makes a brand's content discoverable by AI assistants, not just classic crawlers.

"You're investing in content formats that are under-discovered — podcasts, webinars, tutorials, rich interactive content — but the formats aren't connected to the platforms that would surface them"

Asset-to-platform mapping — which surface each content type belongs on, how to optimise it there, and the cross-surface amplification strategy that maximises return on the content already produced.

"You're preparing for the next-generation of search — AI summaries, richer results, and platform-native discovery — and want a strategy that's built for where search is going, not only where it is today"

Future-ready specialised SEO — AI-era content architecture, entity-graph signals, multi-surface coverage, and the strategic foundation that protects visibility as the search landscape continues fragmenting.

Core Use Cases

Specialized SEO by Surface Type

Five focused engagements — each built around a specific discovery surface with its own ranking signals, optimisation logic, and commercial patterns.

Video Search Visibility

Engagement for brands with video content that underperforms in discovery — YouTube uploads getting a few hundred views, Google Video never surfacing them, and video investment not returning commensurate traffic. We optimise for both the platform algorithms (YouTube, Vimeo) and the wider web video surfaces (Google Video, embedded video rich results) so videos rank where viewers actually search.

Objective

Make video content rank where audiences actually look for video content

Outcome

Video SEO plan covering YouTube, Vimeo, and Google Video surfaces — with per-video optimisation briefs

Best for: brands investing in video content, creators with growing channels, businesses where product or service explainers live in video format.

Service Scope

What Specialized & Media SEO Includes

Eight connected layers — built around the specific challenges of visibility on non-web search surfaces where asset type, platform logic, and AI-era discovery all diverge from classic SEO.

Asset-Type SEO Diagnosis

Audit of every content asset you produce — video, podcast, article, app, LLM-answer candidate — mapped to the platforms and surfaces that should discover it but aren't.

Media Discoverability

Video (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Video), podcast, and rich-media optimisation — titles, metadata, thumbnails, transcripts, schema, and the discovery signals each platform uses.

Metadata & Context Alignment

Per-surface metadata strategy — each platform's specific fields, character limits, keyword logic, and contextual signals. Not a one-size-fits-all meta-description approach.

Platform-Specific Visibility

YouTube ranking signals, Vimeo discovery, App Store rank factors, marketplace algorithms — platform-native optimisation that works inside each platform's actual logic.

AI-Era Search Presence

AI Overviews visibility, LLM citation optimisation (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini), and the entity-graph and content-structure signals that make your brand discoverable to AI assistants.

Discover & News SEO

Google Discover eligibility, News SEO compliance, editorial signal strength, and the discovery-driven surfacing that produces traffic readers didn't know they were looking for.

App Store Optimization (ASO)

iOS and Google Play store SEO — keyword research, metadata fields, visual assets, review velocity, and the store-specific ranking signals that drive organic downloads.

Cross-Surface Performance Tracking

Per-surface visibility reporting — not just organic sessions. Impressions, discovery source, citation rate, download rank, and the cross-surface view that shows where visibility compounds.

Specialised Engagements

Deeper Specialised SEO Engagements

Six surface-specific specialisations — each one its own ranking logic, its own metadata model, and its own measurement shape. Most engagements start with the multi-surface plan above; these clusters go deep on the single platform that's your primary focus.

Find Your Fit

Specialized SEO by Business Goal

Different visibility gaps need different engagement shapes. Find the situation that matches yours — we'll show you what we'd build.

The Situation

"We need more video visibility — we publish video regularly but it's invisible in search and barely surfaces on platform discovery. The investment isn't returning views."

Video visibility is driven by platform-native optimisation that's different on every surface. YouTube rewards session signals and watch time; Google Video rewards schema, transcripts, and embed patterns; Vimeo rewards staff-picked quality signals. We audit which platform your videos should live on, then optimise for the specific ranking logic of that platform — not generic web SEO applied to video pages.

What We Deliver

We build a video and platform optimisation plan: per-video YouTube SEO, Google Video indexing setup, schema and transcript strategy, and channel-level topical clustering.

Video and platform optimisation: YouTube SEO, Google Video setup, schema, transcripts, channel strategy.

The Situation

"We need stronger YouTube growth — we have a channel, we publish consistently, but we're stuck at the few-hundred-views ceiling and growth has plateaued for quarters."

YouTube growth beyond the early ceiling requires a platform-specific approach — algorithm-aware title and thumbnail testing, session signal optimisation (watch time, session duration, end-screen strategy), topical clustering across the channel, and the audience-signal work that feeds suggestion placements. This isn't SEO-agency work applied to YouTube; it's YouTube strategy that understands the platform as a platform.

What We Deliver

We build a YouTube SEO strategy: algorithm-aware optimisation, thumbnail and title testing framework, session signal improvements, and topical channel architecture.

YouTube SEO strategy: algorithm-aware optimisation, thumbnail/title testing, session signals, topical architecture.

The Situation

"We need app discoverability — our app is good, downloads come from paid and brand search, but App Store and Google Play organic barely registers and we're losing category visibility."

App Store ranking uses signals web SEO doesn't — keyword placement in specific metadata fields (title, subtitle, keyword field on iOS; short description on Android), visual assets, review velocity, rating signals, and category competitive dynamics. We work on each store's specific ranking inputs and the category-level positioning that separates apps visible in store browse from apps only found via direct links.

What We Deliver

We build an ASO planning and optimisation engagement: keyword research per store, metadata optimisation, visual asset strategy, review velocity plan, and category-rank tracking.

ASO planning and optimisation: keyword research, metadata, visuals, review velocity, category rank.

The Situation

"We need broader search presence — we rank well in classic web results, but competitors are showing up in Discover, News feeds, video results, and AI Overviews, and we never appear in any of them."

Cross-surface SEO failure is usually a content-format and platform-fit problem, not a ranking problem. Each surface needs qualifying signals: Discover wants editorial quality and freshness; News wants publisher signals; video results want video assets; AI Overviews want citation-worthy content. We prioritise which surfaces matter most for your category, then build the qualifying signal work for each in order of commercial value.

What We Deliver

We build a news, discover, and media SEO expansion plan: surface prioritisation, per-surface qualifying signal work, and cross-surface visibility tracking.

News / discover / media SEO: surface prioritisation, qualifying signals, cross-surface tracking.

The Situation

"We need future-ready visibility — AI Overviews are answering queries our category asks, LLMs are citing competitors in ChatGPT and Perplexity, and our content is invisible in the answer layer."

AI-era visibility requires a different signal stack: entity clarity, structured knowledge, authoritative source signals, retrievable content format, and the kinds of structured data that LLMs actually use when retrieving sources. Classic SEO doesn't address this directly. We audit AI-surface appearance, diagnose the gaps, and build the content structure and entity-graph signals that make your brand discoverable to assistants.

What We Deliver

We build an AI SEO and next-gen discovery strategy: AI Overview appearance audit, LLM citation pattern analysis, entity-graph optimisation, and content structure for retrievability.

AI SEO and next-gen discovery strategy: AI Overview audit, LLM citation, entity-graph, retrievability.

Root Causes

Why Specialized Content Stays Invisible

Six patterns that keep media and platform assets undiscovered — each traceable to a specific mismatch between the asset and the surface it should live on.

Media assets lack search context — videos upload without schema, podcasts publish without transcripts, apps sit without keyword-optimised metadata, and discovery crawlers can't understand what each asset is about

Per-asset SEO context — video schema + transcripts, podcast metadata, app keyword research, and the structured signals each surface uses to understand and rank the asset.

Wrong optimisation model for the platform — generic SEO advice applied to YouTube, App Store, or Discover, where the actual ranking signals look nothing like web search

Platform-native optimisation — YouTube session signals, App Store keyword fields, Discover editorial prerequisites, Vimeo quality signals. Each surface worked in its own logic rather than forced into a web-SEO mould.

Weak metadata and discoverability signals — every asset uses the same title and description template, no platform-specific fields optimised, and discovery algorithms can't tell what's meant to be found where

Per-surface metadata strategy — each platform's fields, character limits, and weighting logic treated distinctly. The metadata becomes an asset-to-surface matchmaker, not a copy-paste artifact.

No strategy beyond classic organic search — the roadmap covers pages, titles, and links for web search, but ignores the 40-60% of discovery that now happens on video, app stores, AI assistants, and Discover feeds

Multi-surface SEO roadmap — classic web plus six other discovery surfaces, prioritised by where your audience actually finds content in your category, not by what's familiar to the SEO team.

Platform-specific opportunities are missed — competitors show up in AI Overviews, get featured in Google Discover, own App Store category position, and it's obvious they're investing somewhere you're not

Competitive surface gap audit — where competitors appear and you don't, what signals they have that you're missing, and the prioritised catch-up work for each surface worth competing on.

Visibility is fragmented across channels — no one on the team can say 'here's where we rank, everywhere' because every surface has its own tool, its own report, and no one consolidates them

Unified multi-surface reporting — visibility view across every platform you're investing in, per-surface KPIs normalised, and the cross-surface dashboard that shows where the brand actually shows up.
