"Our Traffic Dropped and We Don't Know Why"
A core update, a migration, a technical regression or a SERP layout change — each needs a completely different response. The audit tells you which one it actually was before any work starts.
Technical foundations, content built on real expertise, and links actually earned — the three things that still work after every core update. Plus the AI search visibility that increasingly decides whether anyone sees you at all.

Almost every SEO conversation we have starts with one of three problems. Each has a different cause, and treating one as another is how six months disappear with nothing to show for it.
A core update, a migration, a technical regression or a SERP layout change — each needs a completely different response. The audit tells you which one it actually was before any work starts.
Usually a sign the content programme is built on informational terms rather than commercial intent. Traffic goes up, pipeline does not, and reporting on sessions hides it for months.
The most common version of this is a site that was never built to be crawled properly. Foundations first, then content — in that order, because the reverse wastes the content budget.
Publishing content is easy. What decides whether SEO produces a return is everything underneath it: whether Google can crawl and render what you publish, whether your pages target intent someone actually buys on, whether your authority is earned or bought, and whether anyone can connect an organic session to revenue six months later.
Placeholder metrics — replace with verified AptenTech data before launch.
Each service can be engaged on its own or as part of a full organic programme. Most engagements start with technical and content, then add links and local as foundations settle.
The foundation everything else sits on. Crawlability, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals and rendering — the work that decides whether your content can rank at all before anyone judges the content.
Not Sure Why Your Traffic Isn't Converting? Let's Look.
Bring your Search Console access and your target. You'll leave the call with a view on what is actually holding rankings back, which opportunities are realistic, and an honest answer on the timeline.
Talk to Our ExpertsEvery badge links straight to the live profile, so a buyer can check the reviews themselves.
Before a US buyer sends an enquiry, they look AptenTech up on an independent directory. These are the profiles where our clients review us and where our work is listed — each one links straight to the live profile, so nothing here has to be taken on trust.

Every category ranks differently — YMYL scrutiny, local proximity, product-level competition or long technical tails. These are the sectors where we have run organic programmes to revenue targets.
Swipe or use the arrows. Client names and metrics are placeholders — replace with approved case studies.
See how businesses across different industries describe their experience working with AptenTech on their digital products and technology initiatives.
“AptenTech brought clarity to the entire development process. The team understood what we wanted, communicated consistently, and delivered a product that was both polished and practical to use.”
“The team was responsive whenever priorities changed and always explained the available options clearly. We appreciated their attention to detail and the smooth experience from development through launch.”
“AptenTech worked closely with our team instead of simply following a specification. Their suggestions helped improve several parts of the platform, and the final delivery matched our business requirements well.”
These are the workstreams an organic programme draws on, whatever the mix ends up being. The list exists so scope conversations start from something concrete rather than a vague monthly retainer.
Search changes faster than most disciplines, and the fundamentals change less than the headlines suggest. The list below is what keeps an organic programme working as AI answers, algorithm updates and SERP layouts shift.
Being the source an AI answer cites is now a distinct discipline from ranking. Entity clarity, schema, answer-first structure and genuine expertise are what get a page quoted rather than skipped.
Search engines resolve entities, not strings. Consistent entity signals across your site, schema, Wikidata and third-party sources are what let Google connect your brand to the topics you want to own.
What Googlebot actually crawls rarely matches what a site owner assumes. Log analysis shows where crawl budget is being spent and which templates are being ignored entirely.
Experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust are assessed through observable signals — named authors with real credentials, cited sources, original data and reputation off your own site.
Where a page type repeats thousands of times, the leverage is in the template. Get the template right and quality compounds across every URL that uses it — get it wrong and so does the damage.
Page experience is an engineering problem, not a plugin. LCP, INP and CLS are fixed at rendering strategy, image handling and JavaScript level — with an in-house dev team when it goes deeper.
Used for research, clustering, briefs and first drafts — with subject-matter review before anything publishes. Volume without expertise is exactly what recent algorithm updates were built to demote.
Clustering keywords by the result type Google actually returns, rather than by volume, so the page you build matches the format that already wins for that query.
Traffic and revenue projections built from real click-curve data and your own conversion rates, so an SEO investment can be argued in a budget meeting rather than on faith.
Want to Know If AI Search Is Taking Your Traffic?
We'll show you which of your queries now trigger AI Overviews, whether you are being cited or skipped, and which intents still convert — so content investment goes where clicks still exist.

Business goals, margin by product or service, sales cycle and what a qualified lead actually looks like. We agree the KPI before we agree the keyword list — those two decisions are related more often than people expect.
Pricing is driven by competition, site size and how much technical debt has to be cleared before content can work — not by a package menu. The tiers below show what changes as the platform grows — replace each range with your verified pricing before launch.
| Platform tier | What it includes | Typical ramp | Monthly retainer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local | A single-location or single-market programme — technical fixes, on-page work, a modest content cadence and monthly reporting. | Early wins in 4–8 weeks | Available on request |
| National | A national programme — deeper technical work, full content production, digital PR and link acquisition, and revenue-linked reporting. | Compounding by month 4–6 | Available on request |
| Enterprise | Enterprise, multi-location or international — template-level SEO, hreflang, migration support, governance and stakeholder reporting. | Ongoing programme | Available on request |
Tools inform decisions; they do not make them. We work in your licences where you have them rather than forcing a migration.
Plenty of agencies can send a keyword report and an invoice. The difference shows up in the parts most reports leave out — whether the technical foundation was fixed before content was published, whether the links were earned or bought, and whether anyone will tell you when the timeline you want is not realistic.
No PBNs, no bought link networks, no expired-domain schemes. They work until they do not, and the recovery costs more than the gains ever earned. We would rather lose the pitch than hand you that risk.
Publishing onto a site Google cannot crawl properly is the most common way SEO budget disappears. We fix indexation, speed and architecture first, even when it is the less exciting month.
Rankings are a leading indicator, not the goal. Reporting ties organic performance to pipeline or revenue through GA4 and your CRM, so the investment can be defended in a budget meeting.
Most SEO audits die in a shared drive because nobody could action them. We write specifications your engineers can pick up, and we will sit in their sprint planning if that helps.
SEO in a competitive market takes six to twelve months to compound. If your runway or target does not fit that, we will tell you — sometimes paid search is the right answer first.
Search Console, GA4, tag containers, content, tools and data are in your name from day one. If the engagement ends, you keep all of it and we remove our access.
The questions founders and marketing leaders actually ask on the first call — timelines, cost, guarantees, AI search, algorithm recovery and who owns what at the end of it.
Early technical wins can show within four to eight weeks. Meaningful movement on competitive commercial terms usually takes four to six months, and compounding results take longer. Anyone promising rankings in thirty days is either working in an empty niche or is not being straight with you.
It depends on competition, site size and how much technical debt has to be cleared first. A small local programme is a very different investment from an enterprise site with template-level problems across a hundred thousand URLs. We price by scope and tell you honestly if the budget will not move the target.
No, and be cautious of anyone who does. Rankings are controlled by Google, not by any agency. What we commit to is the work, the reporting standard, and honest assessment — including telling you when the plan is not working and what we would change.
Generative engine optimisation is about being the source an AI answer cites rather than ranking in a list. It does not replace SEO — it depends on it. Crawlability, entity clarity, schema and genuine expertise are what make a page quotable, and those are SEO fundamentals.
For informational queries, click-through rates have come under real pressure. Commercial and transactional queries have held up far better. The practical response is to shift content investment toward the intents that still convert, and to optimise for citation on the rest.
Yes — through digital PR, original data, expert commentary and journalist outreach. We do not buy links from networks or use PBNs. Earned links take longer, but they do not put the domain at risk when the next spam update lands.
Often, yes. We start by diagnosing whether the drop is content quality, technical, link-related or a SERP layout change — those need very different responses, and treating one as another wastes months. The audit tells you which before any work begins.
Yes, and it is usually the fastest setup. We provide dev-ready tickets with specifications rather than a PDF of recommendations, and we can join sprint planning or stand-ups where that speeds implementation.
Either. We can produce content end to end, or supply briefs your team writes against. For technical and regulated categories we often interview your subject-matter experts and edit their expertise into publishable form — genuine knowledge is difficult to fake convincingly.
Location page architecture, Google Business Profile management at scale, citation consistency and review programmes. The most common problem in multi-location SEO is not visibility — it is locations cannibalising each other.
Before design is finalised, not after launch. Most migration traffic losses are avoidable and come from redirect gaps, lost internal links or template metadata that nobody specified. Involving SEO late is how a good rebuild turns into a six-month recovery project.
Yes. A paid audit covers technical health, content, links and competitive position, and ends with a prioritised roadmap you own outright. If you run it in-house or take it to another agency, that is a legitimate outcome.
