The decisions, fixes, and execution behind the result.
Who Was the Client?
A UK fintech website competing in a trust-heavy category where search visibility depends on clarity, compliance-sensitive content, and technical quality.
What Was the Challenge?
The site needed more than basic metadata fixes. It needed stronger entity signals, clearer topical coverage, and content that could be understood by both search engines and generative answer systems.
What Was the Strategy?
We audited crawlability, structured data, internal links, and content architecture. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization, the practice of structuring content for AI answer engines) improvements focused on direct-answer sections, source-friendly formatting, entity clarity, and FAQs around fintech buyer questions.
What Were the Results?
- Technical SEO priorities mapped by impact
- GEO-ready content structure created
- Fintech entity and topical signals strengthened
- Internal linking plan built around high-value pages
Impact Metrics
- 156% increase in non-brand organic clicks
- 44 answer-ready content blocks added across priority pages
- 19 fintech keywords reached page one
- 3.2x more impressions for comparison and solution queries
Why Did This Work?
Fintech SEO depends on trust and clarity. The same page structure that helps users evaluate risk also helps search and AI systems understand the business.
