Optimization

Found by people. Found by AI.

Search engines used to be the only door. Now people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and get one answer instead of ten blue links. We make sure that answer includes you. Three disciplines, one job: being found.

SEO

Search Engine Optimization

Ranking in Google and Bing for the searches your customers actually type. The classic, and still where most of the traffic lives.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization

Being cited when an AI writes its answer. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews pull from sources they trust; we make you one of them.

AEO

Answer Engine Optimization

Being the answer itself: featured snippets, “People also ask”, voice assistants and AI answer boxes that give one result, not a list.

01 · Search engines

Search Engine Optimization

Thirty years of building websites taught us what Google rewards: fast pages, clean structure, honest content and links that are earned. No tricks that work until the next update. We fix the technical foundation first, then the words, then the reach.

Technical SEO

Speed, Core Web Vitals, crawling, indexing, redirects, sitemaps and structured data. The things that stop a good site from ranking.

On-page content

Titles, headings and copy written for the searches people type, in the language they type them. English and Dutch, both natural.

Local search

Google Business Profile, maps, reviews and local pages. For a museum, a marina or a clinic, this is where the visitors come from.

Measurement

Search Console, analytics and a monthly report in plain English: what moved, why, and what we do next.

02 · Generative engines

Generative Engine Optimization

When someone asks an AI “who builds museum kiosks in California?”, the model answers from pages it can read, trust and quote. GEO is the work of becoming one of those pages: clear facts, named expertise, the same details everywhere, and content the models can actually parse. We build AI products ourselves, so we know what the models look for.

Be readable by machines

Clean HTML, structured data, an llms.txt file, open doors for the AI crawlers you want and clear rules for the ones you don't.

Be worth quoting

Specific, factual pages with numbers, names, dates and sources. Models cite specifics, not slogans.

Be consistent

The same facts about you on your site, your profiles, directories and press. A contradiction costs you the citation.

Be checked

Every month we ask the major models about your business and track whether, and how, you come up.

03 · Answer engines

Answer Engine Optimization

More and more searches end without a click: Google answers in a box, Siri or Alexa reads one result aloud, an AI assistant sums it up. AEO shapes your content so that the one answer is yours: direct questions with direct answers, marked up so the engines can lift them.

Question-first pages

FAQ and how-to pages that answer the exact question in the first sentence, then explain.

Structured data

FAQ, HowTo, Product, Organization and LocalBusiness schema, so answer engines know what they are reading.

Featured snippets

Short, well-formed definitions, lists and tables in the places Google lifts them from.

Voice and assistants

Conversational phrasing, opening hours, addresses and contact details in the formats assistants read aloud.

04 · Performance

Speed is the foundation of all three

A slow site ranks lower, gets crawled less and loses the visitor before the page appears. Every site we build and host is measured with GTmetrix and Google's Core Web Vitals, and tuned until the numbers are green. Then we keep measuring.

Built fast

Static where possible, server-rendered where needed, pictures compressed and sized, fonts and scripts kept to what the page uses.

Hosted fast

Our own servers, HTTP/2, caching and a CDN where it helps. No shared hosting with five hundred strangers.

Kept fast

Monthly checks on every hosted site. A plugin update or a new banner that slows the page is caught before Google notices.

GTmetrix

Our scores don't lie.

GTmetrix is the independent speed test we run on every site we build. This is the report for this very site, unedited. Ask any agency for theirs.
