The challenge
The product's technical capabilities were difficult to translate into search intent. SEO lacked a clear strategy and prioritisation, technical issues limited performance, and content was not aligned with B2B funnel stages. Commercial keywords and use cases were poorly covered, and structural URL issues hurt developer and technical audiences.
Where value was leaking
Mapped onto the Organic Value Chain, three links were holding everything else back.
- Research The product's technical capabilities had never been mapped to search intent.
- Build Content wasn't aligned with B2B funnel stages, and commercial keywords and use cases were poorly covered.
- Retrieval Technical issues and URL structure held back performance for technical audiences.

Why it worked
The product was strong; the translation was missing. Mapping its capabilities to the questions buyers actually ask, then rebuilding the pages that answer them, made the site easier to rank and easier for AI assistants to recommend.
