Build a Brand That Search Engines Recognise

Social doesn’t rank you on its own, but it does feed the signals that matter. We align your profiles, link them in your

Organization

schema, and keep naming consistent so Google can connect your site, profiles and Google Business Profile as one entity. That improves trust and makes your content easier to surface in snippets and AI Overviews.

Content That Can Be Quoted (AEO)

We write short, answer-ready posts and threads that mirror the way people ask questions, then repurpose those into on-site FAQs with schema. Clear questions, concise answers, one point per paragraph — ideal fuel for featured snippets, “People also ask”, voice assistants and AI Overviews.

GEO — Be Visible in Generative Results

Generative engines remix and cite existing content. We structure your articles and social posts (lists, steps, sources) and link them back to canonical pages so your site is the reference. That’s the core of Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).

What We Set Up

Profile & Entity Setup

Handle alignment, artwork, bios and links.

Answer-Led Social Calendar

  • Weekly Q&A posts from your services and DMs.

  • Every “mini-answer” becomes an on-site FAQ with schema.

Distribution & Tracking

  • UTM links on every post and story; WhatsApp hand-off where chat converts best.

  • Measure assisted conversions, not just likes.

Google Business Profile

  • Google Business Profile posting, review requests and fresh images (great for engagement and conversions around local search).

  • Pull quotes back into your site with proper markup.

From Feeds to Results

We don’t chase vanity metrics. We publish useful answers and proof, earn mentions and links, and feed your site the signals that move rankings — while making your content easier for answer engines to quote. Google’s own roll-out of AI Overviews makes this essential.

New Account Setup (Done Properly)

We create or refresh profiles, secure the handles, align visuals, and link everything back to your site in schema. Clear bios, contact routes and WhatsApp click-to-chat make it easy to act. This work helps search engines disambiguate your brand and reduces lost enquiries.

Posting & Scheduling with AEO in Mind

Each post answers one question. We add alt text, captions, sources and a link to the definitive page on your site. The same Q&A is added to your on-site FAQ with structured data, improving your eligibility for featured answers.

Social Listening that Informs SEO

We monitor what your audience actually asks, then build pages that answer those questions better (and faster). This fuels snippets and helps generative engines choose your content as a source.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do social signals directly improve rankings?

No. Google has said they don’t use Likes/Shares as ranking factors. Social helps indirectly through discovery, links and brand searches.

How does social help Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?

By publishing short, structured answers that match real questions and then hosting those Q&As on your site with schema. This makes it easier for Google, voice assistants and AI chat to quote you.

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of making your content more likely to be cited or shown in generative results (e.g., Google’s AI Overviews). We structure content, cite sources and link back to a canonical page so your site is the reference.

How do SEO, AEO and GEO work together in one workflow?

Start with search intent and keyword research (SEO). Build a strong pillar/service page per intent, then add short Q&A blocks that answer the exact questions people ask (AEO). Publish one deeper, source-rich guide or tool per topic and reference it from the pillar (GEO). Wire it all with schema (Organisation/LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, HowTo) and internal links. Make sure your website, Google Business Profile and official social profiles are cross-linked with the same name, logo and URL. Promote the content on WhatsApp/social to earn mentions and links, then measure and iterate.

Which metrics prove the combined approach is working?

SEO: impressions, clicks, average position, organic sessions.
AEO: featured snippets won, People-Also-Ask appearances, FAQ impressions.
GEO: citations/visibility in AI Overviews or other generative results, “pull-through” click-through to your page.
Commercial: enquiries/bookings, time-to-first-reply, no-show rate, assisted conversions from WhatsApp and social. Track weekly; change one thing at a time.

How do we avoid keyword cannibalisation while aiming for snippets and answers?

Give each primary intent one canonical page. Use sub-headings and anchored FAQs for related questions instead of spinning up many thin pages. Internally link supporting posts back to the canonical page; use consistent titles, meta descriptions and schema. If two pages overlap, merge them and 301 the weaker one. Keep Q&As concise on the pillar and link to the deeper guide for detail.

GEO: how do you optimise for AI Overviews without losing the click?

Structure content so it can be cited (clear headings, lists, steps, data points, sources), but always give a reason to visit: frequently updated price tables, calculators (e.g., missed-call cost), downloadable checklists, or South African specifics (POPI notes, local payment options). Use canonical links and cite trustworthy sources, and keep your website, Google Business Profile, and official social profiles cross-linked with the same name, logo, and URL so engines connect the answer to your brand.
