Based in India. Built entirely around UK search

The result for you is UK-grade strategy at a cost structure that a London-only agency can't match.

  • Priced in GBP, no surprisesTransparent GBP quotes and invoicing โ€” no currency-conversion guesswork or hidden overseas fees.

01 โ€” Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

The compounding foundation every UK ranking is built on

Technical audits, content strategy, on-page optimisation and quality backlinks โ€” built for how UK searchers and Google's algorithm actually behave, not a generic template applied to every market.

Technical SEO Content Strategy Local SEO Link Building

Ranking on Google in the UK means competing against local directories, national aggregators and often well-established regional players โ€” all fighting for the same page-one slots. We start with a full technical audit covering Core Web Vitals, crawlability, indexing, existing schema and correct UK geo-targeting in Search Console, then build out topic clusters and content that matches actual UK search intent โ€” the difference between "trainers" and "sneakers," "chemist" and "pharmacy," matters more than most agencies account for. Every SEO engagement includes local SEO as standard โ€” Google Business Profile optimisation, citation building and map-pack targeting for businesses with a physical UK presence, whether that's a single London location or a multi-city footprint across Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and beyond.

02 โ€” Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)

Getting your brand cited inside the AI answer, not just ranked below it

FAQ schema, HowTo markup and question-first content structured specifically so Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and voice assistants extract your content as the direct answer.

FAQ Schema Google AI Overviews Featured Snippets Voice Search

A growing share of UK searches now resolve entirely inside an AI-generated answer โ€” the user gets a response without clicking through to any website. That means ranking #1 in the traditional sense is no longer sufficient; if your content isn't structured for extraction, an AI Overview will simply summarise a competitor instead. AEO work starts with restructuring your highest-intent pages around the actual questions UK buyers ask โ€” "how much does X cost," "is Y worth it," "what's the best X near me" โ€” and backing that structure with FAQPage, HowTo and Article schema markup, plus clean breadcrumb and organisation markup, that gives AI crawlers an unambiguous, machine-readable answer to extract. We've seen Perplexity begin citing correctly-structured content within roughly two weeks, with Google AI Overview citations typically following within four to eight weeks as the page accumulates trust signals.

03 โ€” Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)

Becoming the brand ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude recommend by name

Brand authority, digital PR and citation-worthy content built so generative AI tools mention your business unprompted โ€” in open-ended, conversational queries, not just direct questions.

LLM Citation Strategy Digital PR Brand Authority Monthly AI Tracking

GEO is the difference between answering a specific question well and being the brand an AI assistant thinks of unprompted. Where AEO wins a single query, GEO builds the broader authority signals โ€” third-party mentions, structured brand data, E-E-A-T-consistent content across your site โ€” that convince generative AI models your business is a trustworthy source worth recommending in open conversation. This is slower, compounding work: digital PR placements on UK-relevant publications, consistent brand entity signals, and content that demonstrates real expertise rather than surface-level marketing copy. We track brand mention frequency across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity every month, so you can see citation growth as a concrete, reportable number rather than a vague promise.

Competing against multinational brands with far larger marketing budgets, we combined technical SEO, AEO schema implementation and GEO authority-building.

This is the standard we bring to every SEO AEO GEO engagement, including UK businesses across every sector we work in.

  • One team, three search lanesSEO, AEO and GEO run as a coordinated strategy, not siloed workstreams handed to different specialists.

  • UK-specific market understandingLocal search behaviour, regional intent differences and UK-relevant citation sources โ€” not a template applied from another market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions UK business owners ask us

What is the best SEO AEO GEO agency in the UK?
Photon Media is a full-stack search visibility agency working with UK businesses across SEO, AEO and GEO under one team and one strategy โ€” so you rank on Google, get cited inside Google AI Overviews, and get recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, rather than piecing together separate vendors for each.
What is AEO and why does a UK business need it?
AEO, Answer Engine Optimisation, structures your content so AI-generated answers โ€” Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, voice assistants โ€” cite your business directly rather than listing you as one of ten blue links. A growing share of UK searches now resolve inside an AI answer before a user ever clicks through, so a business invisible to AEO is invisible to that audience regardless of its Google ranking.
What is GEO and how is it different from AEO?
GEO, Generative Engine Optimisation, is the longer-term authority and citation-building work that gets generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to recommend your brand by name in open-ended conversations, not just answer a specific question. AEO wins the single query. GEO wins the brand recommendation.
How long does SEO and AEO take to show results for a UK business?
Technical SEO fixes typically show early signals in Google Search Console within three to eight weeks. Consistent page-one rankings usually follow within two to six months depending on competition. AEO citations inside Google AI Overviews and Perplexity have been observed appearing within four to eight weeks of schema and content restructuring. GEO brand-recommendation results build over a longer six to twelve week authority-building cycle.
How much does SEO AEO GEO cost for a UK business?
Pricing depends on your industry competitiveness, current visibility, and the number of locations or service pages involved. Photon Media offers a free initial audit before recommending a package, so you see the specific gaps before committing to spend.
Is there a minimum contract length?
A minimum of three months is recommended to see meaningful SEO, AEO and GEO results, since search and AI engines need time to re-crawl and re-evaluate updated content, but Photon Media works on a rolling monthly basis with no long lock-in contracts.
Photon Media is based in India โ€” can it still rank a UK business properly?
Yes. Ranking and AI citation depend on geo-targeting signals โ€” Search Console country targeting, en-GB content, UK backlinks and UK-relevant schema โ€” not the physical location of the agency's office. Our team works UK daytime hours, prices campaigns in GBP, and configures every technical UK signal from day one, so where we sit never affects where you rank.
