The challenge

Where the operator started and what actually made it hard.

Two mainstream agencies had turned the account down. The platform had real content depth but a technical base that fought it: slow templates, an age gate that hid everything from crawlers, and no structured data. AI answer engines had never cited it because there was nothing citable.

The brief was sequenced deliberately. Technical first, because nothing else compounds on a broken base. Then GEO, because in the UK adult vertical almost nobody was doing it and being first has a long tail.

Everything below sat inside the retainer. No upsells mid-engagement.

§ 01

Core Web Vitals programme: INP, LCP and CLS fixes shipped by our engineers, not a recommendations deck

§ 02

Age-gate crawlability: marketing and category pages indexable, gated content behind the wall

§ 03

Schema rollout across video, category and FAQ templates

§ 04

Passage-level content restructure so answers are quotable by AI engines

§ 05

llms.txt and llms-full.txt published and kept current

§ 06

Monthly written report with rankings, citations and next actions
