They are some of the very few folks whom I’d trust to develop tools, crunch numbers, and find answers for enterprise-level data and marketing problems. I’ve found myself increasingly relying on their regular industry news roundups as my go-to source for knowing what’s hot and happening. These guys are awesome.“

Research & Development

We help our clients maintain a competitive edge by innovating. We have an in-house research and development team that thinks outside the box to solve some of the more challenging problems.

We understand that businesses want to see what Google sees. We have developed software that monitors Google’s rendering process, allowing us to view the exact HTML source code, JavaScript and resources used. This can be useful for:

  1. Creating new Googlebot real-time insights.
  2. Providing 100% confidence in legal and compliance requests.
  3. Attribute split testing control or variant to a particular rendering.

We are using large language models to streamline day-to-day tasks such as keyword classification (entity recognition, search intent and categorisation), creating Python scripts to solve particular nuanced problems or summarising meeting minutes.

Having a great idea is only a small part of the puzzle. Getting the resources to implement the idea is often the greater challenge. Teams may have different priorities, as well as budget constraints. We created the Page Interceptor, a tool which can modify any website to show a proof of concept that runs on top of your production environment. Some use cases so far:

  1. Creating HTML and HTTP Header changes to improve Core Web Vitals.
  2. Simulating content changes (page titles, headings, internal links).
  3. Understanding the performance implications of UX / CRO tests and dev releases.

Not all companies provide APIs for their data. Scraping data is often a backstop solution that helps to unblock a problem. We’ve built interactive and automated scraping software that can access logged in areas, such as Google Search Console, to retrieve all profile information. Systems that cannot be fully automated can have their workflow reduced, by creating interactive prompts that require the minimum amount of effort to get the job done.

Not all of our search engine optimisation research is published gets to see the light of day. Check out our published research on our blog.
