i / Core SEO Engine

Technical health and the indexing surface.

Twenty-eight server-side fixes. Written into the CMS. Visible to every crawler, human and machine.

A: Technical Health & Indexing

  • i.Comprehensive site audit. Every page scored, every issue ranked by severity.
  • ii.Crawl-stats analysis. Across both Google and the AI bot fleet: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot.
  • iii.Mobile usability validation. Responsive checks against the modern viewport set.
  • iv.llms.txt deployment. The protocol AI crawlers now read first.
  • v.Indexing diagnostics with auto-remediation. The fix runs without a ticket.
  • vi.Page speed and Core Web Vitals tracking. The numbers Google still rewards.

B: Architecture & Signals

  • i.Advanced schema markup deployment. Article, Organisation, Product, FAQPage, HowTo, written, not described.
  • ii.Sitemap management. XML and HTML, kept fresh.
  • iii.Redirects and 404 resolution. 301, 302, and the broken paths quietly mended.
  • iv.Structured data validation. Against the live schema.org grammar.
  • v.Topic cluster architecture. The shape that compounds.
  • vi.Canonical tag management at scale. No duplicate signal leakage.

Twelve capabilities. Each writes to the page itself, not to a JavaScript layer the crawler cannot see.

ii / AI Search Dominance

What the four models say about you, measured at 95% confidence.

Continuous monitoring. Eight metrics. Every number paired with a Wilson Score interval.

A: Foundational AI Presence

  • i.Unified Generative Engine Index (GEI). A single composite across the four models.
  • ii.AI Answer brand coverage. What the model says when no search occurs.
  • iii.Engine Reach. ChatGPT. Gemini. Perplexity. Claude. Tracked equally.
  • iv.Buyer-intent query capture. The questions that precede a purchase.

B: The Eight GEO Metrics

  • i.AI Presence Rate. The foundational visibility number.
  • ii.Answer Prominence. First sentence, cited source, named recommendation.
  • iii.Citation Rank Index. NDCG composite that rewards quality over volume.
  • iv.Share of Voice. Your real estate, against the competitors that share it.
  • v.Recommendation Rate. How often the engine recommends you to a buyer.

Plus three the rest of the category does not measure: Sentiment Score, Citation Drift, and the Confidence Interval itself. A number without an interval is a guess in a suit.

iii / Brand Trust & Entity Signal

What the engines believe about you, and how to correct what they get wrong.

Entity confidence, factual accuracy, and the slow work of teaching the model your truth.

  • i.Entity Confidence Score across engines.
  • ii.Factual accuracy and hallucination guard. The model invents; the engine catches.
  • iii.Sentiment polarity and tone analysis. Quality, service, and price tracked separately.
  • iv.Co-occurrence brand tracking. Who you are mentioned with, and who you should be.
  • v.Knowledge graph optimisation. Wikidata. Wikipedia. The structured citations that train the next model.
  • vi.Authority signal reinforcement. The references that lift your standing where it matters.

iv / Quill: The Content Studio

One brand voice. Every surface. Every market.

Quill is the one place a brand voice is set once and carried, unchanged, across Local, Search, AI Search, and Social. One workflow for three engines: SEO, GEO, and Social. Content structured for AI extraction, not only human reading.

  • i.AI-driven SEO generation. Drafted to the cluster, not to the keyword.
  • ii.Humanised writing. Low AI-detection profile by construction, not by post-hoc edit.
  • iii.GEO-localised content targeting. The voice changes with the geography.
  • iv.Inline schema and structured data deployment. The markup ships with the prose.
  • v.Citation-ready, answer-first formatting. BLUF in the opening 200 characters, the way the model reads.
  • vi.Topic-cluster planning. The architecture of authority, not the chase of keywords.

v / Social Signal: The Fifth Layer

The conversation, listened to live. Drafted in voice. Routed to the right person.

Quill is content that does not choose between the two surfaces. It serves both, by design.

  • i.Live listening across the five surfaces. X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Quora, Medium.
  • ii.Brand voice training. Drawn from your existing content corpus.
  • iii.Drafted responses, in your voice. Generated, never published without a person.
  • iv.Response routing. The right comment, the right thread, to the right team member.
  • v.Citation feedback loop. When a competitor wins citations on your territory, the engine surfaces it within hours, and generates the counter-content.
  • vi.Real-time defence. When AI citation share drops, the coordinated response triggers within twenty-four hours.
  • vii.Cross-channel attribution. The statistical relationship between social activity and AI visibility lift, measured continuously.

Manual posting is the discipline that keeps signal compounding. The engine drafts. The human publishes. The loop closes through both.

vi / Autonomous Execution

Hand a task to the agent. Schedule the window. Receive the report.

The platform that does not require you to watch it.

  • i.Granular task delegation. Hand over the specific operation, not the whole platform.
  • ii.Scheduled execution windows. Saturday 2 AM. Tuesday overnight. Whenever your site can absorb the change.
  • iii.SLM-routed across 28 SEO operations. The Small Language Model that handles the routing, proprietary, not a wrapper.
  • iv.Computer Use Agent (CUA) backlinking. Up to five high-authority directory submissions per request, navigated by an autonomous agent that completes math solvers, text solvers, and ~60% of reCAPTCHAs.
  • v.Email completion reports. The work happened while you slept; the proof arrives at sunrise.

vii / Performance Analytics

Outputs measured against business outcomes, not vanity dashboards.

The only measurement worth publishing is the one tied to the line that pays.

  • i.Seamless GA4 integration. No re-tagging required.
  • ii.Custom user event tracking. The signals you already trust.
  • iii.ROI and search performance reports. The number leadership reads.
  • iv.Conversion attribution by AI engine. Which model brought the buyer.
  • v.Pipeline-level visibility reporting. From query to qualified lead.
  • vi.API access for downstream tools. Your data, your shape.

viii / Agentic Reporting & Chat

The conversational layer over everything.

Ask the platform. The platform routes the request, executes the work, and writes the report.

  • i.Natural-language chat interface to the platform.
  • ii.SLM-routed task execution across 28 SEO operations.
  • iii.Real-time job status and queue visibility.
  • iv.Auto-generated work-completion reports.
  • v.Client-facing white-label reporting. For agencies running multiple accounts.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

CLEO offers a distinct advantage by integrating not just traditional SEO but also Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and social visibility into one closed loop, unlike platforms primarily focused on organic search. While Conductor excels in SEO, CLEO provides a holistic Presence Engine that ensures your brand ranks in search, gets cited by AI, and compounds visibility across content and social channels, creating a compounding effect on your brand's overall visibility and impact across every channel where the audience arrives.

Yes, CLEO is an excellent fit as an alternative to platforms like BrightEdge, specifically designed for the new era of AI-driven discovery. While BrightEdge focuses heavily on traditional SEO and content performance, CLEO extends this to include Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), ensuring your brand is discoverable in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Our AI Search organ within the Presence Engine directly addresses this, a capability often missing in legacy SEO tools.

CLEO is built from the ground up to cover both traditional search and AI engine presence. While platforms like seoClarity are strong in conventional SEO analytics and keyword tracking, CLEO's Presence Engine explicitly includes an AI Search layer dedicated to optimising for generative AI models. Your brand is not only optimised for Google search results but also positioned to be cited in AI answers, a critical differentiator as AI models now drive a significant and growing portion of information discovery.

Absolutely. CLEO is designed to provide measurable ROI by tracking brand visibility across Local, Search, AI Search, and Social. By unifying these efforts, brands typically see a direct correlation between increased, consistent presence and pipeline acceleration, with measurable improvements in qualified lead generation, tracked from AI citation through to pipeline. Our analytics dashboard provides clear metrics on AI citations, search rankings, and social engagement, linking these directly to business outcomes.

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of optimising your brand's content and online presence to be discovered and cited by generative AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It's crucial because these AI engines are becoming primary sources of information and recommendations, meaning if your brand isn't optimised for them, you're missing a significant portion of your potential audience. CLEO's AI Search layer is specifically engineered for GEO, ensuring your brand is present where customers are increasingly asking for answers.

CLEO unifies Local, Search, AI Search, and Social through its Presence Engine, a closed-loop system designed to optimise your brand across all modern discovery paths. It ensures your content ranks in traditional search results (Search), appears in local discovery (Local), is cited accurately in generative AI answers (AI Search), and compounds through social signals (Social). Efforts in one area amplify presence in others, creating a compounding effect on your brand's overall visibility and impact.

These capabilities are the skeleton. The engine is what moves them as one body.
