Technical SEO + AEO/GEO

SEO built for search and AI citation.

HostList ships with llms.txt, SpeakableSpecification, FAQPage JSON-LD synced to rendered FAQs, and an explicit AI crawler policy. We apply that same technical SEO and AEO/GEO architecture to client sites: crawl and indexation fixes, schema markup that matches the DOM, Core Web Vitals tuned against field data, and Search Console recovery after migrations. Not content farms or link schemes. Engineering work with measurable deliverables. Audits from $2,500, implementation $5,000 to $15,000, scored against our 7-point AI-readiness rubric before and after.

What we fix

Six signals that move rankings and AI citations.

Crawl and indexation

Canonical conflicts, robots blocks, sitemap gaps, and crawl budget waste. Fixed with engineering, not slide decks.

Structured data

Service, FAQPage, Product, BreadcrumbList, and DefinedTerm JSON-LD synced to rendered content. No drift between schema and DOM.

Core Web Vitals

LCP, INP, and CLS fixes validated against CrUX field data and Search Console. Hosting picks from HostList, not affiliate deals.

llms.txt and AI crawlers

Machine-readable site maps for LLMs, RSL licensing, and robots policy for GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot.

Speakable and citation leads

Answer-first paragraphs with dedicated CSS classes wired to SpeakableSpecification. FAQ arrays drive both render and FAQPage JSON-LD.

Search Console recovery

Post-migration monitoring, redirect validation, and index coverage fixes before rankings decay.

HostList proof

We eat our own cooking.

The GEO stack we implement for clients is the same one running on hostlist.io: independent rankings, HRI methodology, speakable citation leads on every high-value page, and FAQPage schema driven from a single source array. See also structured data and Core Web Vitals in our glossary.

FAQ

What is AEO/GEO in practice?

Answer Engine Optimisation and Generative Engine Optimisation mean structuring your site so AI search tools can cite it accurately: llms.txt, speakable selectors, single-source FAQs, schema that matches the page, and explicit AI crawler policy. We built this stack on hostlist.io and apply it to client sites.

Do you write content or build links?

No. We focus on technical SEO, structured data, indexation, Core Web Vitals, and AEO/GEO architecture. Content strategy and link acquisition sit outside our scope.

How much does an audit cost?

Technical SEO audits start at $2,500 fixed. Implementation projects quote after the audit, typically $5,000 to $15,000 depending on site size and technical debt.

How do you measure AI-readiness?

We score sites against our 7-point rubric: llms.txt, JSON-LD, FAQPage, speakable, Organization schema, named stats, and DefinedTerm coverage. The same checks we run in production on hostlist.io.

Can you work with WordPress or headless stacks?

Yes. Monolithic WordPress, headless Next.js, and static sites all need explicit SEO wiring. See /web-design/wordpress and /web-design/headless for build work; SEO is scoped separately or bundled at launch.

Who does the work?

Senior engineers on the Seahawk Media team. The people who ship HostList rankings and HRI methodology, not a white-label SEO reseller.
