Strategic Edge Solutions is a results-driven digital marketing agency in London. We combine SEO, AEO, GEO, SXO and paid advertising to ensure your business is found in Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity — wherever your next client is searching in 2025 and beyond.
Over 65% of Google searches now end without a single click. AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini answer questions directly. Traditional SEO alone is no longer a complete digital strategy — it's a starting point.
AEO structures your content so AI-powered tools — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Siri and Alexa — select it as the direct answer to a user's question. In an era where over 65% of searches end with zero clicks, being the answer is more commercially valuable than ranking number one. We engineer concise 40–60 word answers, question-focused headings, FAQ schema markup and conversational language that matches how people naturally search. Brands using AEO see conversion rates up to 9× higher than those relying on traditional organic traffic alone.
GEO makes your content appear inside the responses that ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot generate. AI systems perform sub-document retrieval — extracting specific content sections rather than ranking whole pages. Your content needs to be structured, factually authoritative and formatted in ways that AI models can extract, verify and cite. We build GEO visibility through topical authority campaigns, original research, expert attribution and citation-worthy content architecture. Businesses investing in GEO today are building a first-mover advantage that will compound for years.
SXO combines SEO with UX and CRO — it focuses on what happens after someone finds and clicks your website. Rankings mean nothing if the experience doesn't convert. SXO ensures your site loads in under 2.5 seconds, satisfies search intent from the first paragraph, presents clear conversion paths and provides a frictionless experience on every device. We audit your landing pages against search intent, user behaviour data and conversion benchmarks, then implement improvements that typically produce 15–30% lifts in conversion rate without any additional ad spend. Google now explicitly uses UX signals as ranking factors.
LLMO is the emerging frontier of digital visibility. It involves structuring, tagging and publishing your content in ways that allow large language models — GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini — to accurately understand, represent and recommend your brand. We ensure your brand entity is well-defined across the web, factual claims are verifiable, content architecture follows patterns that LLMs recognise as authoritative, and your brand appears on platforms where AI training data originates. Alongside LLMO, we build your E-E-A-T signals — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness — the four pillars of Google's content quality assessment that directly influence both traditional rankings and AI selection.
Eight specialist services, one agency. From technical SEO to full-funnel performance marketing — we own every channel that drives your growth, including the AI-powered discovery channels your competitors haven't started thinking about yet.
Technical SEO, keyword strategy, on-page optimisation and link building that moves you from page three to position one — combined with AEO engineering that gets you selected as the featured answer in Google AI Overviews and voice search. Modern search requires both layers.
Pay-per-click campaigns that spend every pound intelligently. Google Search, Shopping, Display and Meta Ads — built by specialists who optimise for revenue and ROAS, not clicks. We manage, monitor and continuously improve every campaign against clear commercial targets.
Strategy, content creation and community management across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X. We build engaged audiences that convert into customers, not just follower numbers that look good in monthly reports. Every post, story and campaign is tied to commercial objectives.
Full digital audits, competitor analysis, AI visibility assessment and 12-month growth roadmaps. We build strategies that cover SEO, AEO, GEO, SXO and LLMO — all five pillars of modern search visibility. You review and approve the plan before we begin a single task.
SEO-optimised blog content, landing pages, case studies and email sequences engineered for topical authority, E-E-A-T signals, AEO featured snippet selection and GEO citation eligibility. Every piece we produce works simultaneously in traditional search and AI-generated answers.
GA4 setup, custom dashboards, conversion tracking, revenue attribution and AI visibility monitoring — tracking how often your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini responses. Monthly reports tied to commercial outcomes, not vanity metrics.
Full-funnel performance marketing combining paid acquisition, conversion rate optimisation and retention strategy. We build campaigns that are measured by revenue attributed, not impressions delivered. Every performance campaign is tracked through to the pound spent and the pound earned.
The intersection of SEO, UX and CRO. We optimise the full experience from the moment a user finds your site to the moment they convert — covering page speed, Core Web Vitals, intent satisfaction, CTA placement and friction removal. SXO turns existing traffic into more revenue.
We begin with a 60-minute strategy call to understand your business, goals and competition. We then run a full digital audit — technical SEO, AI visibility assessment across ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity, keyword mapping, E-E-A-T review, competitor intelligence and SXO conversion review. The output is a prioritised findings document covering every gap and opportunity.
Based on the audit, we build your 12-month Digital Growth Roadmap — covering all five pillars of modern search visibility: SEO 2.0, AEO, GEO, SXO and LLMO. You review and approve every element. Projected outcomes, KPIs and monthly milestones are clearly defined before execution begins. No surprises, no scope creep.
Our specialists implement the roadmap across all agreed channels — technical fixes, AEO content engineering, GEO citation campaigns, SXO implementation, paid campaign management and content production. All running in parallel for maximum compounding effect. You have one senior contact. No account managers passing briefs to juniors.
Monthly reports show exactly what moved — keyword rankings, organic traffic, AI citation frequency, paid campaign ROAS, SXO conversion improvements and revenue attribution. Quarterly strategy reviews update the roadmap based on performance data and competitive changes. Growth creates new opportunities, and we pursue them systematically.

"Our Google rankings were non-existent six months ago. Strategic Edge built a proper SEO and AEO strategy and we're now on page one for three of our main keywords — and appearing in Google AI Overviews for two of them. The increase in enquiries has been significant and measurable."
"We'd wasted thousands on Google Ads with a previous agency. Strategic Edge restructured our campaigns, set up proper conversion tracking with GA4, and our cost per lead dropped by almost 40%. We're getting better quality leads for significantly less money. The monthly reports actually make sense."
"The GEO work they did for us is genuinely impressive — we're being cited by Perplexity and showing up in ChatGPT responses for our main service queries. That's a visibility channel our competitors haven't touched. The monthly reports tie every activity to commercial impact, not just clicks."
