Crawl architecture, internal link engineering, migrations, log file analysis, programmatic page systems and custom attribution. Built for sites running thousands to millions of URLs, where the usual SEO playbook stops working.
Pull the log files on almost any enterprise site and you find the same thing. Most of the crawl allowance goes to pages that will never earn a visit. That's a routing problem, and internal link engineering is how you redirect it.

01. The diagnosis
At scale, the failures are structural. Not editorial.
You cannot write your way out of a broken crawl architecture, no matter how good the content team is. We see the same four failures wreck enterprise sites over and over, and not one of them shows up in a content audit.
01
Crawl budget goes to the wrong pages
Parameters, facets and pagination absorb the allowance while the pages that convert get crawled once a month, sometimes less. A page Google rarely revisits cannot rank, however well it's written.
The fix
Fixed by crawl architecture + log file analysis
02
Internal links don't distribute authority
Every backlink you acquire lands its authority on the homepage and stalls there. Without deliberate internal linking, the pages carrying real commercial intent never see a drop of it.
The fix
Fixed by internal link engineering
03
Migrations lose what took years to build
A replatform is the biggest single risk to organic revenue an enterprise site takes on. Most are run to an engineering deadline, not a search one, and years of ranking signal can vanish in one release.
The fix
Fixed by migration planning + monitoring
04
Programmatic pages scale the problem
A template generating ten thousand pages magnifies whatever is already wrong with it, ten thousand times over. Get the system right and the same mechanism becomes the biggest asset you own.
The fix
Fixed by programmatic page systems
02. Capabilities
Six workstreams. Sequenced, not bundled.
Which ones run, and in what order, comes out of the technical audit, not a sales conversation. You are not buying all six by default. We tell you plainly which ones your site does not need, then scope the rest as a 3-month project with defined outcomes.
01
Crawl architecture
Deliverable · Directive map
One directive map covering every URL pattern your site owns. For each pattern: reach, block or consolidate. Never a blanket, site-wide rule.
Index bloat and duplication mapping
Faceted and parameter handling
Robots, sitemap and canonical strategy
02
Internal link engineering
Deliverable · Link placements
The exact link placements that pull authority off the homepage and route it onto the pages that sell.
Authority flow modelling across templates
Hub and cluster construction
Orphan and dead-end resolution
03
Log file analysis
Deliverable · Parsed server logs
Your raw server logs, fully parsed. Not a crawler's best guess. What Googlebot actually did, quantified.
Real crawl frequency by template
Bot behaviour before and after every release
Waste quantified in crawl requests
04
Migrations
Deliverable · Migration plan
A migration plan built against a search timeline, not an engineering one, with rollback criteria agreed before anyone ships.
Pre-migration mapping and parity testing
Redirect logic that holds up at scale
Daily monitoring through the migration window
05
Programmatic page systems
Deliverable · Template specification
A template specification your content team can build ten thousand pages against, without silently scaling the same mistake.
Template and entity model design
Quality gates before publication
Cannibalisation controls
06
Custom attribution
Deliverable · Reporting view
Proof of exactly which change moved which number, in a form your board will actually accept.
Change logging tied to ranking movement
Template-level revenue reporting
Board-ready measurement
03. Attribution
If you can't attribute it, you can't defend the budget.
Enterprise SEO usually fails internally, not technically. The work lands, the numbers move, and nobody can prove which change caused what. Next year, the budget quietly goes to paid.
Attribution is instrumented in week one, not retrofitted the week the board asks.
What gets instrumented
✓Every technical release logged and timestamped against ranking movement
✓Performance reported by template and page type, never a site-wide average
✓Non-brand organic isolated from brand demand
✓Crawl and index health tracked as leading indicators, before the traffic drop shows up
✓One reporting view your finance team and your engineers both accept
04. How it fits
Structure first. Everything you buy after that compounds.
Buy backlinks before the architecture can route that authority somewhere useful and you're pouring water into a cracked bucket. Fix the structure first, then build on it.
The free audit scores every domain currently linking to you on relevance and real page traffic, then maps exactly where you sit in the AI citation graph. You'll have it back within 48 hours, and it comes with a call with Brie Moreau to work through what your structure is actually costing you.
If we can't show you something your current agency missed, we'll say so.
