The Challenge

The problem we were hired to solve

A UL Confirm Centre spin-out commercialising AI-driven predictive maintenance for manufacturing lines had validated technology, a strong academic pedigree, and an Enterprise Ireland HPSU application in progress — but a landing page that looked like a university project, not a venture-fundable company. With a seed pitch cycle starting in 10 weeks, they needed platform, messaging, and investor UX that reflected the quality of the underlying technology.

Our Approach

How we delivered it

01

Discovery & Audit

Deep dive into the existing digital estate — site architecture, keyword gaps, AI search baseline, and competitive landscape.

02

Strategy & Architecture

Content strategy, information architecture, and technical roadmap designed around the client's commercial goals and target audience.

03

Design & Build

High-fidelity design system, bespoke component development, and CMS configuration — no templates or page builders.

04

SEO & AEO Implementation

Structured data injection, LLM-readable content restructuring, entity optimisation, and AI citation seeding across target queries.

05

Launch & Optimise

Staged rollout with real-time monitoring, Core Web Vitals validation, and 90-day post-launch optimisation programme.
