Our services

What We Offer

Five disciplines, engineered as one system. Pick a starting point or run them in parallel.

THE WORK

SEO built for headless Contentful architectures

Contentful is a content repository. Its SEO impact depends entirely on how the content is delivered, rendered, and structured. We make the implementation work for organic search.

01

Technical audit for headless delivery

We audit how Contentful content is rendered and indexed — assessing rendering strategy (SSR, SSG, ISR, CSR), sitemap generation, canonical tag delivery, and metadata management across your front-end layer. Headless CMS implementations have SEO challenges that don't exist in traditional CMSs. We find every issue before building anything on top.

02

Content model review and SEO field architecture

Contentful's flexibility is an SEO asset or liability depending on how the content model is structured. We review your content types, field architecture, and metadata delivery to ensure every piece of content published through Contentful reaches search engines fully optimised — with correct title, description, canonical, and structured data at every route.

03

Keyword research and content production

We map the keyword landscape for your product or industry and build the content strategy aligned to your Contentful content type architecture. We also produce content optimised for keyword targets and buyer intent, working within your existing editorial workflow. Authority building through targeted digital PR and editorial placements runs in parallel.

04

Ongoing monitoring and technical iteration

Contentful sites evolve rapidly — content models change, delivery layers update, new channels are added. We monitor organic performance continuously, staying ahead of technical changes that could affect SEO. Monthly reporting gives you a clear picture of what the organic channel is delivering and what comes next as your product grows.

Contentful CMS

How We Build High-Performance SEO Programmes on Contentful

Technical SEO audit for headless Contentful architectures

Headless CMS implementations built on Contentful create SEO challenges that don't exist in traditional CMS-based sites: pre-rendering decisions, sitemap generation across distributed delivery, canonical tags in multi-channel environments, and metadata management without a conventional admin interface. We audit the full technical picture — how Contentful content is delivered, rendered, and indexed — before building any strategy on top.

Rendering strategy, content model review, and indexation

How Contentful content is rendered — via SSR, SSG, ISR, or CSR — fundamentally determines what Google can crawl and index. We assess your rendering approach, test how Googlebot sees your pages, and identify gaps between user experience and search engine indexation. We also review your content model architecture to ensure SEO-specific fields (title, description, canonical) are correctly structured and consumed by your front-end delivery layer.

Keyword research, content strategy, and on-page optimisation

We map the keyword landscape for your product or industry and build the content strategy aligned to your Contentful content type architecture — so content production at scale is efficient from the start. We optimise existing content and produce new content targeted to the right search intent, ensuring metadata, SEO content fields, and rich text body content are consistently populated and optimised across all content types.

Authority building, link acquisition, and ongoing monitoring

We build the backlink profile that improves your domain's ranking authority — through digital PR, expert content placements, and editorial link acquisition in the publications your buyers read. We monitor rankings, organic traffic, and technical health continuously, adapting the content and authority programme as your product and delivery layer evolve. Monthly reporting gives you a clear picture of what the organic channel is delivering and what comes next.

Is Contentful good for SEO?

Contentful itself is SEO-neutral — it's a content repository, and its SEO impact is determined entirely by how the content it stores is delivered and rendered to search engines. A well-implemented Contentful site with correct rendering, metadata management, and content architecture can perform excellently in organic search. A poorly implemented one — with client-side rendering, missing metadata, or orphaned content — can be nearly invisible to search engines despite high-quality content. The implementation is everything.

What are the biggest SEO challenges with a headless Contentful CMS?

The main challenges are: rendering strategy (ensuring Googlebot sees the same content users do), metadata management (delivering title tags, descriptions, and canonical tags correctly through the front-end layer), sitemap generation and maintenance across CMS content types, and ensuring all Contentful-published content is correctly indexed without duplication. These are solvable technical problems — but they require deliberate implementation, not assumptions carried over from a traditional CMS.

How do you manage SEO metadata in a Contentful implementation?

We work with your development team (or implement directly) to ensure SEO fields are correctly structured in your Contentful content model and consumed by your front-end layer. This includes title and description fields per content type, canonical URL logic, Open Graph tags, and structured data (JSON-LD) for relevant content types. Where metadata is missing across existing content, we audit and systematically populate it.

Does server-side rendering (SSR) matter for Contentful SEO?

Yes — significantly. Client-side rendered Contentful sites can be poorly indexed by Google, which is less reliable at executing JavaScript than human browsers. Server-side rendering or static site generation ensures Google sees fully rendered HTML on the first request. For most Contentful SEO projects, confirming or moving to SSR/SSG is one of the first technical priorities.

How long does it take to see organic results from a Contentful SEO programme?

Technical fixes — rendering, indexation, metadata — can deliver ranking improvements within 4–8 weeks. Content and authority building typically takes 3–6 months to compound into meaningful organic traffic growth. Our 3-month programme focuses on technical foundations first, then launches the content and authority programme. The 6 and 12-month options are where consistent compounding growth becomes visible in both rankings and pipeline.
