The Klyverai Technical SEO Audit: 80+ Checkpoints in the Order That Matters

The problem this solves

Most SEO audits hand you an automated Screaming Frog export and call it a discovery. That list is often 400 items long, ranked by nothing, with no guidance on which issues actually affect revenue.

How we do it

1. Crawlability and indexation first

Before checking a single keyword, we verify Google can find and index your pages correctly. We cross-reference Search Console coverage data against a full crawl to identify pages that exist but are not being indexed, pages being indexed that should not be, and canonicalization conflicts silently splitting authority. We also audit your robots.txt for accidental disallow rules blocking important page categories, check crawl budget consumption on large sites to identify wasteful crawl traps like infinite scroll parameters and session ID URLs, and verify that hreflang tags on multilingual sites are bidirectionally consistent.

2. Core Web Vitals on real devices

We run PageSpeed Insights on mobile for your 10 highest-traffic pages and your 5 most important commercial pages. We do not aggregate scores. A homepage passing LCP but a product page failing is still a conversion problem. Each failing page gets a specific fix: identified render-blocking scripts, unoptimized image formats, missing resource hints, third-party tag load order issues, and server response time breakdowns. We also pull CrUX field data to compare lab scores against real-user measurements, since lab scores alone can be misleading on pages with heavy personalisation or A/B test scripts.

3. Site architecture and internal link equity

We map how PageRank flows through your site using a crawl depth analysis. Pages more than 3 clicks from the homepage typically rank poorly regardless of content quality. We identify your most valuable pages that are buried and map the internal link changes that fix it. We also audit anchor text distribution across internal links to ensure contextually relevant anchors are used instead of generic "click here" or "learn more" text, and we identify orphan pages that receive no internal links at all — these are entirely invisible to Google's internal link graph.

4. Redirect and URL health check

We map every redirect chain and loop in your site. Redirect chains longer than one hop bleed PageRank and slow page load. We identify all 301s pointing to pages that themselves redirect, all 302s that should be 301s, and any redirect targets returning 404 errors. We also audit your URL parameter handling in Search Console to confirm that faceted navigation, tracking parameters, and sorting parameters are not generating thousands of duplicate URLs being indexed.

5. On-page signal completeness

We audit title tags, H1s, meta descriptions, schema markup, and image alt attributes across your top 50 pages. Not for length compliance but for keyword intent alignment. A title tag can be the right length and still be targeting the wrong intent entirely. We also check for duplicate title tags across the site, missing H1s, multiple H1s on the same page, and pages where the primary keyword is absent from all key on-page signals simultaneously. We audit structured data implementation using Google's Rich Results Test and Schema.org validator to catch markup errors preventing rich result eligibility.

6. Log file analysis for crawl behaviour

For sites with more than 500 pages we request server log files and analyse Googlebot's actual crawl behaviour over the last 30 days. This reveals which pages Google is visiting most frequently, which important pages are being crawled rarely or never, and whether crawl budget is being consumed by URLs that should be blocked. Log file analysis frequently uncovers crawl waste that Search Console alone does not surface.

7. Backlink profile health

We pull your full backlink profile from Ahrefs and segment it by domain authority, topical relevance, and anchor text distribution. We identify toxic links requiring disavowal, missed link opportunities from unlinked brand mentions, and competitor link sources you should be targeting. We also analyse your anchor text profile for over-optimisation signals — a backlink profile with more than 20 percent exact-match commercial anchors carries a manual action risk even when the links themselves are legitimate.

8. EEAT signal audit

Google's helpful content system and quality rater guidelines weight Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness signals heavily. We audit your site for author bylines and bio pages with credential detail, About page depth, contact information completeness, editorial policy and review date visibility, citations and outbound links to authoritative sources, and whether your content demonstrates genuine first-hand experience rather than generic information aggregation. Thin EEAT is increasingly a ranking ceiling regardless of technical and link performance.

What you receive

A written audit report with every issue annotated with a screenshot, a specific fix instruction, an implementation difficulty rating, and an expected impact score. You own this report. Average time to complete: 7 to 10 business days.

Klyverai keyword architecture framework showing intent cluster mapping and revenue-first keyword prioritisation
SEO Strategy Framework

How We Build a Keyword Architecture That Maps to Revenue, Not Just Traffic

The problem this solves

Most keyword strategies chase volume. High-volume keywords attract browsers. The keywords that drive revenue are often the ones with the lowest volume and the highest specificity. A strategy built around traffic alone consistently underdelivers on business outcomes.

How we do it

1. Revenue mapping first

Before touching a keyword tool, we map your service or product lines to buyer stages: awareness, consideration, decision, and retention. This becomes the skeleton every keyword fits into. A keyword without a buyer stage assignment is a keyword without a business case. We also identify which buyer stages are currently underserved in your existing content, since most sites have an excess of informational content and a gap at the decision and comparison stages where purchase intent is highest.

2. Competitive gap analysis

We pull the top five organic competitors and use Ahrefs to find every keyword they rank for in positions 1 to 20 that you do not rank for at all. These are proven search terms with proven demand. We prioritise by your ability to rank given your current domain authority versus the ranking difficulty. We also identify which competitors are dominant in which topic areas, so we can find categories where the competitive field is weaker and build topical authority faster.

3. SERP feature analysis

For every priority keyword we analyse the current SERP to understand what Google is rewarding. A keyword that shows AI Overviews, featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, image packs, or video carousels requires a different content strategy than a keyword showing only blue links. We match content format recommendations to SERP feature composition, not just keyword intent.

4. Intent cluster mapping

Every keyword is assigned to an intent cluster: informational, commercial, navigational, or transactional. Each cluster maps to a different content format. A transactional keyword needs a product or service page. An informational keyword needs a pillar article. Mismatching format to intent is the single most common reason good content fails to rank. We also identify keywords where intent is mixed or ambiguous and recommend how to structure a single page to serve multiple intents without diluting relevance.

5. Keyword cannibalisation audit

Before building out new content we audit your existing pages for cannibalisation: multiple pages targeting the same or very similar keywords and splitting ranking signals between them. We use Search Console performance data to identify where two or more pages are alternating in rankings for the same query, and we recommend whether to consolidate, redirect, or differentiate the competing pages.

6. Long-tail prioritisation for new sites

For domains with low authority we prioritise long-tail keywords under 200 monthly searches with low keyword difficulty. These rank faster, build topical authority, and compound. One client ranked for 22 long-tail terms in month three that collectively drove more leads than any broad term they had been targeting for two years. Long-tail terms also convert at higher rates because the search intent is more specific and the searcher is further along in their buying journey.

7. Seasonal and trend-adjusted volume

We adjust raw monthly search volume figures for seasonality using Google Trends data before finalising keyword priorities. A keyword showing 500 average monthly searches may peak at 3,000 in a specific month and drop to 50 in others. Misjudging seasonality leads to content going live after peak demand and sitting unused until the following year.

8. 12-month content calendar output

The keyword architecture becomes a 12-month content calendar with page type, target keyword cluster, estimated traffic potential, and internal linking destinations mapped for each piece. Nothing goes into production without a clear place in the architecture. Publication sequencing follows topical authority logic: pillar pages publish first, supporting articles follow in a planned sequence that builds cluster depth before Google is asked to rank the pillar for competitive terms.

What you receive

A keyword universe document organised by intent cluster and buyer stage, a competitive gap analysis, a cannibalisation report, and a 12-month content calendar with every piece mapped to a revenue outcome.

AEO methodology showing question intent mapping and AI Overview content structure for Klyverai clients
AEO Optimization Framework

Answer Engine Optimization: How We Structure Content to Appear in AI Overviews and Featured Snippets

The problem this solves

Google AI Overviews pulled from 31 percent of results pages by mid-2025. Most businesses have no strategy for appearing in them. Organic clicks from AI Overview pages are lower, but the citation itself is a trust signal that influences every subsequent click regardless of channel.

How we do it

1. AI Overview trigger identification

We identify every query in your target keyword set that currently triggers an AI Overview, a featured snippet, or a People Also Ask result. These are the highest-priority targets for AEO because Google has already determined that these queries deserve a direct answer format. We use Search Console combined with manual SERP sampling to build a full list of triggered queries, segmented by feature type.

2. Question intent identification

We identify every question-format search your target audience makes that currently triggers an AI Overview. These are found by analysing PAA boxes, Google autocomplete patterns, and Search Console queries containing question words: how, what, why, when, which, does, can, should. We also mine competitor FAQ sections and community platforms like Reddit and Quora for question variants that keyword tools miss.

3. Direct answer structure

AI Overviews pull content that answers the question in the first two sentences, then supports it with detail. We rewrite or create pages with a 40 to 60 word direct answer in the opening paragraph, followed by structured supporting sections. This mirrors how Google's QA extraction works. We also ensure the direct answer is self-contained: it should make complete sense if extracted and shown without the surrounding page context.

4. Content depth and comprehensiveness scoring

We score each target page against the AI Overview content that Google currently shows for that query. If the Overview draws from three sources, we analyse what each source covers and identify any sub-topic gaps in your content. AI Overviews favour comprehensive coverage: a page that answers the primary question and all related sub-questions in one place is more likely to be cited than a page that answers only the main question.

5. FAQ schema on every eligible page

Pages with FAQPage schema are cited in AI Overviews at a higher rate than pages without it. We add correctly structured FAQ schema to every informational page targeting a question keyword, with answers kept under 80 words and structured as direct, self-contained responses. We also audit existing FAQ schema for common implementation errors: nested FAQ schemas, FAQ schemas on pages without visible FAQ content, and answers that replicate the question text without actually answering it.

6. Semantic entity coverage

AI Overviews favour content that demonstrates comprehensive coverage of a topic, not just keyword matching. We audit each target page for entity completeness: does it mention every concept, person, tool, or organisation that a well-informed answer to this question would include? Missing entities are gaps that competitors' content fills instead. We use Google's Natural Language API to compare entity coverage between your page and the current AI Overview sources.

7. Passage-level optimisation

Google can index and rank individual passages within a page independently of the overall page ranking. We identify the specific passages most likely to be extracted for AI Overviews and ensure each passage is self-contained, clearly headed, and answers a single question completely. Passages that require reading surrounding context to make sense are rarely extracted.

8. Citation source authority

Google cites sources it trusts. We build the trust signals that matter: author expertise markup, citation of primary sources, publication dates kept current, and inbound links from topically relevant authoritative domains. A page without these signals rarely gets cited regardless of content quality. We also monitor which domains are consistently appearing in AI Overviews in your category and prioritise earning links from those specific sources.

What you receive

An AEO content audit identifying your highest-priority question keywords, rewritten page structures with direct-answer formatting, FAQ schema implementation, passage-level optimisation recommendations, and a citation authority improvement plan.

GEO strategy framework showing LLM citation audit and entity optimisation for generative engine visibility
GEO Strategy Framework

Generative Engine Optimization: How We Get Klyverai Clients Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude

The problem this solves

An estimated 30 to 40 percent of B2B research now begins with a prompt in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude rather than a Google search. If your business is not being cited by large language models when buyers ask questions in your category, you are invisible to a growing segment of your most valuable prospects.

How we do it

1. LLM mention audit

We run a structured set of 50 to 100 prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini covering every question a buyer in your category might ask. We record which brands and domains are cited, how frequently, and in what context. This gives you a baseline of your current LLM visibility versus competitors. We repeat the audit across multiple prompt phrasings for each question, since LLM citation patterns are sensitive to how the question is framed.

2. Citation source analysis

LLMs cite what they were trained on and what appears in their retrieval systems. We identify the publications, directories, forums, review platforms, and authoritative databases that appear most frequently in LLM citations in your category. These become your priority placement targets. We differentiate between training data citations (relevant for ChatGPT base models) and retrieval citations (relevant for Perplexity and GPT with browsing), since the optimisation strategy differs for each.

3. Prompt engineering for competitor gap mapping

We craft prompts that specifically ask LLMs to compare vendors, recommend tools, or explain category options — the types of queries buyers use when actively evaluating. We document precisely where your brand is absent, where competitors are mentioned, and what attributes LLMs associate with each competitor. This gap map drives the attribute and claim optimisation work that follows.

4. Entity establishment

LLMs represent businesses as named entities with associated attributes. We ensure Klyverai clients have consistent, accurate, and attribute-rich entity representations across Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, structured data on their own site, and the major industry databases their category uses. Inconsistent entity data causes LLMs to either ignore or misrepresent a business. We also ensure the entity's name, description, and category are consistent across all platforms — even minor inconsistencies (Klyver AI vs Klyverai, for example) fragment the entity in LLM knowledge graphs.

5. Review platform presence

G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, and category-specific review platforms are heavily indexed and cited by retrieval-augmented LLMs. We audit your presence on every relevant review platform, identify gaps in coverage, and build a systematic process for collecting reviews that include the specific product attributes and use cases you want LLMs to associate with your brand. Review content is one of the most underused GEO levers.

6. Authoritative content publication

LLMs prefer citing original research, definitive guides, and primary sources over derivative content. We identify the content gaps in your category where no authoritative primary source exists and create it. Original data studies, methodology documents, and expert opinion pieces that other sites cite are the highest-leverage GEO content investments. We also pursue bylined contributions to industry publications that LLMs consistently cite in your category.

7. Retrieval-optimised formatting

Perplexity and similar retrieval-augmented LLMs pull content in real time. Pages that are fast to load, clearly structured with semantic HTML, schema-rich, and internally consistent rank higher in retrieval. We apply the same technical foundations as our SEO audits but optimised specifically for LLM retrieval patterns: concise definitions near the top of pages, claim-evidence-source structure in body content, and explicit labelling of statistics with dates and sources.

8. Quarterly re-audit cadence

LLM citation patterns shift as models are updated, new sources enter the retrieval index, and competitors improve their GEO presence. We run the full prompt audit quarterly to track mention frequency, citation context quality, and competitive share of voice across each LLM platform. Trends are reported as a share-of-voice score so you can see whether GEO investment is compounding or plateauing.

What you receive

An LLM visibility audit with baseline scores, a citation source targeting list, entity optimisation across 8 to 12 key platforms, a review platform coverage plan, a primary content creation roadmap, and quarterly re-audits to track LLM mention growth.

Klyverai AI development process showing problem definition, prototype testing, and production deployment methodology
AI Development Development Framework

How Klyverai Scopes, Designs, and Deploys AI Systems That Work in Production

The problem this solves

Most AI projects fail not because the model is wrong but because the problem was poorly defined, the data was not ready, or the system was never designed to be maintained. The demo works. Production does not.

How we do it

1. Problem definition before technology selection

We spend the first week asking what decision or action this AI system needs to change. Not what it should do technically but what a human is currently doing that takes too long, costs too much, or produces inconsistent results. The technology choice follows from the problem definition, never the other way around. We document the problem as a measurable outcome: not "we want an AI chatbot" but "we want to reduce first-response time from 4 hours to under 5 minutes for tier-1 support queries."

2. Data readiness assessment

Before writing a line of code we assess your data across five dimensions: volume, quality, labelling, recency, and accessibility. An ML model trained on 6 months of clean structured data will outperform one trained on 3 years of inconsistent data. We tell clients honestly when their data is not ready and what it would take to get there. For RAG systems we also audit the source documents for chunking suitability, format consistency, and update frequency, since retrieval quality is determined almost entirely by document preparation quality.

3. Build-vs-buy evaluation

Before scoping a custom AI build we evaluate whether a configurable off-the-shelf solution or a fine-tuned existing model would achieve 80 percent of the outcome at 20 percent of the cost. We present a written build-vs-buy analysis for every engagement covering three options: custom build, platform configuration, and hybrid approaches. Many clients benefit from starting with a configured platform and migrating to a custom system once usage patterns are established.

4. Architecture decision record

Every AI system Klyverai builds comes with a written Architecture Decision Record explaining why we chose each component: which LLM, which vector database, which deployment environment, and which integration approach. This prevents the most common post-launch failure: a system no one can maintain because the decisions were never documented. The ADR also records the alternatives we considered and why they were rejected, so future engineers understand the constraints that drove each choice.

5. Prompt engineering and evaluation framework

For LLM-based systems we treat prompt design as a first-class engineering task. We build an evaluation suite of 50 to 200 test cases covering expected outputs, edge cases, and adversarial inputs before the system touches production data. Every prompt change is run against the evaluation suite before deployment. This prevents the common failure mode of a prompt optimised for a demo that degrades on real user inputs.

6. Prototype before full build

We build a working prototype at 20 percent of the final system scope before committing to full development. The prototype is tested by real users in your team. We capture failure modes, edge cases, and usability issues before they are embedded in production code. This typically saves 30 to 40 percent of total build time. Prototype testing sessions are recorded and reviewed to build a ranked backlog of issues before the full build begins.

7. Security and privacy review

AI systems handling customer data, internal documents, or sensitive business information require explicit security scoping. We audit data flow for PII exposure risks, prompt injection vulnerabilities in user-facing systems, unintended data retention by third-party model providers, and output filtering requirements. For enterprise clients we produce a data handling specification document that compliance and legal teams can review before deployment.

8. Monitoring as a first-class requirement

Every AI system we deploy includes observability from day one: response latency tracking, output quality sampling, drift detection alerts, user feedback capture, and cost per query monitoring. AI systems degrade silently without monitoring. We treat monitoring as a core deliverable, not an optional add-on. We also define escalation thresholds: specific metric values that trigger an automated alert and a human review of recent outputs.

What you receive

A discovery document covering problem definition, data readiness report, build-vs-buy analysis, architecture decision record, working prototype, evaluation suite results, security review, and a post-launch monitoring dashboard. Every system is documented thoroughly enough that your internal team can operate it without us.

Klyverai Core Web Vitals audit framework showing LCP root cause analysis, INP fix methodology, and CLS mapping
Web Development Audit Teardown

Core Web Vitals Teardown: How We Diagnose and Fix a Failing Site in the Right Order

The problem this solves

Core Web Vitals are three metrics but they have dozens of causes. Fixing the wrong thing first wastes development time and can make other metrics worse. Most developers fix what is easiest, not what has the highest impact.

How we do it

1. CrUX field data vs lab data comparison

Before opening a single DevTools panel we pull your Core Web Vitals field data from the Chrome User Experience Report via PageSpeed Insights and the CrUX dashboard. Field data reflects real users across all their devices, connection speeds, and geographic locations. Lab data reflects one test from one location. A site that passes in the lab but fails in field data has a real-user problem that lab testing cannot reproduce — often caused by third-party scripts, personalisation, or CDN configuration that lab tests bypass.

2. LCP root cause identification

Largest Contentful Paint fails for four reasons: slow server response, render-blocking resources, slow resource load times, or client-side rendering delays. We identify which one is the primary cause using Chrome DevTools waterfall analysis before recommending any fix. Applying an image optimisation fix to an LCP problem caused by render-blocking CSS wastes a sprint. For each failing page we identify the specific LCP element, the time breakdown across TTFB, resource load delay, and resource load duration, and the single highest-impact fix.

3. Third-party script audit

Third-party scripts are the leading cause of poor Core Web Vitals on sites that otherwise have well-optimised first-party code. We inventory every third-party script loaded on your key pages: tag managers, analytics, chat widgets, ad scripts, social embeds, and A/B testing tools. We measure the main thread blocking time, render-blocking impact, and network payload cost of each. We identify which scripts are loading synchronously that should load asynchronously, which are loaded on every page but only needed on specific pages, and which have lower-impact alternatives.

4. INP interaction audit

Interaction to Next Paint replaced FID in 2024 and most sites are failing it. We test every interactive element: forms, dropdowns, modals, and navigation. We record which interactions take over 200ms to respond and trace them to specific JavaScript execution patterns. Long tasks blocking the main thread are the most common cause. We use the Chrome DevTools Performance panel and the Long Tasks API to identify the specific functions responsible and produce developer-ready fix specifications for each.

5. CLS layout shift mapping

We use the Layout Instability API and Chrome DevTools to capture every layout shift during page load and after user interaction. Each shift is mapped to a specific element. Ads without reserved dimensions, images without width and height attributes, and web fonts causing FOUT account for 90 percent of CLS failures we see. We also test for late-injected content shifts from cookie banners, chat widgets, and dynamic content blocks that load after the initial render.

6. Image and font delivery audit

We audit every image on your key pages for format, compression, sizing, and loading strategy. Images should be served in WebP or AVIF format, sized to display dimensions (not larger), compressed without visible quality loss, and lazy-loaded below the fold. The above-the-fold LCP image should be preloaded with a link rel=preload tag. We also audit font loading strategy: font-display swap prevents invisible text during loading, and subsetting fonts to only the characters used reduces payload by 60 to 80 percent on Latin-only sites.

7. Fix sequencing by dependency

We sequence fixes so that changes that affect multiple metrics are done first. Eliminating render-blocking resources often improves both LCP and INP simultaneously. Fixing server response time improves LCP, Time to First Byte, and user-perceived load speed. We never hand a flat to-do list to a development team when a sequenced plan produces faster results. Each fix is accompanied by an estimated metric improvement, implementation complexity rating, and the specific developer instructions needed to implement it without introducing regressions.

8. Pre-launch validation and regression testing

Before any code goes to production we run PageSpeed Insights on the staging environment, verify Core Web Vitals pass on both mobile and desktop, check that no new layout shifts were introduced by the fix, and confirm that Lighthouse scores have improved. We also set up a performance budget in your CI/CD pipeline so that future deployments that would regress Core Web Vitals are flagged before they reach production. We deliver a before-and-after comparison document for every performance engagement.

What you receive

A Core Web Vitals audit with root cause analysis for each failing metric, a third-party script impact report, a sequenced fix plan with developer-ready specifications, staging validation results, a performance budget configuration, and a before-and-after performance report.

Klyverai UX research process showing session recording analysis, heatmap interpretation, and A/B test design methodology
UI/UX Design Research Framework

From Session Recordings to Shipping: The Klyverai UX Research Process

The problem this solves

Most CRO work is opinion-driven. Someone on the team thinks the button should be green. Someone else thinks the form is too long. Without a research process that connects observations to hypotheses to validated tests, CRO becomes expensive guesswork.

How we do it

1. Quantitative data review

We start with Google Analytics 4 and platform data. We look at drop-off rates by page, device type, traffic source, and user segment. A 70 percent drop-off rate on a checkout page tells us there is a problem but not what it is. We also pull micro-conversion data: form field abandonment rates, scroll depth by traffic source, and time-on-page versus conversion rate correlation. Quantitative data identifies where to look. Qualitative research identifies why.

2. User flow mapping

We map the actual paths users take through your site using GA4 path exploration and funnel data, not the paths you assume they take. Most sites have 3 to 5 entry points and 3 to 5 exit points that account for the majority of conversion failures. We identify every path that reaches a conversion page and the drop-off rate at each step, then focus the research effort on the paths with the highest traffic and the worst conversion rates.

3. Session recording analysis

We review a minimum of 50 session recordings for each page under investigation, filtering for sessions that reached the page but did not convert. We document every repeated behaviour pattern: rage clicks indicating broken elements, scroll depth showing content is not being read, mouse hesitation indicating confusion or uncertainty. We also filter for mobile sessions separately from desktop, since friction points are frequently device-specific and desktop-only analysis misses the majority of mobile conversion failures.

4. Heatmap interpretation

Click maps, scroll maps, and move maps give us aggregate patterns across thousands of sessions. We overlay these with the conversion funnel to identify mismatches between where users are spending attention and where we need them to take action. A CTA with low click density despite high scroll depth is a message problem, not a placement problem. We also audit form click patterns specifically: form fields with high abandonment rates are identified and tested for label clarity, input complexity, and validation error message quality.

5. User interview synthesis

For new products and significant redesigns we conduct 5 to 8 moderated user interviews with participants matching your customer profile. Each interview follows a structured protocol: task-based scenarios where the participant attempts to complete a real journey, followed by retrospective questioning on hesitation points. Five interviews reliably surface 85 percent of major usability issues. We synthesise findings into an affinity map that groups observations into themes.

6. Hypothesis generation with expected impact

Every research observation becomes a written hypothesis in the format: because we observed [behaviour], we believe that changing [element] will result in [outcome], and we will measure this by [metric]. Each hypothesis is scored on expected impact, implementation effort, and confidence level based on the quality of evidence behind it. High-impact, low-effort hypotheses run first. We distinguish between hypotheses with strong evidence (observed in recordings AND supported by quantitative data) and weaker hypotheses (observed once or inferred from indirect signals).

7. Accessibility and friction audit

Conversion failures caused by accessibility barriers are invisible in standard analytics. We run an accessibility audit on all key conversion pages covering WCAG 2.1 AA compliance: colour contrast ratios, keyboard navigability, form label associations, error message accessibility, and screen reader compatibility. Accessibility fixes frequently produce measurable conversion improvements because they reduce friction for all users, not just those with disabilities.

8. A/B test design and statistical validity

We design tests to reach statistical significance at 95 percent confidence before calling a winner. We calculate the required sample size before starting based on current conversion rate and minimum detectable effect. Tests that cannot reach significance in a reasonable timeframe are replaced with larger changes that move the needle enough to measure. We also document and monitor for novelty effect: conversion lifts that appear in the first week of a test and then regress to baseline are not genuine improvements.

What you receive

A research report with documented observations from session recordings and heatmaps, a user flow drop-off analysis, a prioritised hypothesis backlog with evidence quality ratings, an accessibility audit, an A/B test calendar, and a post-test analysis template your team can use independently.

Klyverai paid media audit framework showing search term waste analysis and Google Ads Quality Score methodology
Performance Marketing Audit Framework

The Klyverai Paid Media Audit: Finding Wasted Spend in the First Week

The problem this solves

The average Google Ads account wastes 25 to 30 percent of its budget on search terms that have never converted. Most accounts have been running long enough that this waste has compounded into thousands of dollars per month that could be reallocated to what is actually working.

How we do it

1. Account structure health check

Before looking at performance data we audit the structural logic of the account: campaign segmentation, ad group theme tightness, match type strategy, and the relationship between campaign structure and landing page alignment. Accounts with ad groups containing more than 20 keywords or mixing unrelated themes produce lower Quality Scores and make performance analysis difficult. We document structural issues that will constrain optimisation regardless of bid or budget changes.

2. Search term report analysis

We pull every search term that has received impressions in the last 90 days and filter for terms with more than 5 clicks and zero conversions. In most accounts this list represents 25 to 40 percent of total spend. We categorise each term by the reason it should be excluded: irrelevant intent, competitor brand, navigational, or informational with no commercial connection. We also analyse search term reports for patterns — if a large cluster of irrelevant terms shares a common word or phrase, a single broad negative keyword can eliminate hundreds of wasted impressions at once.

3. Conversion tracking verification

Before making any bid or budget changes we verify that conversion tracking is recording accurately. Under-counting conversions causes Smart Bidding to under-optimise. Over-counting from duplicate tracking or micro-conversions being counted as primary goals causes over-bidding on low-value actions. We find tracking errors in the majority of accounts we audit. We verify tracking using Google Tag Assistant, test transactions, and a comparison of reported conversions against CRM or backend data for the same period.

4. Smart Bidding configuration review

Most accounts use automated bidding strategies without verifying that the conditions for them to work are met. Target CPA bidding requires a minimum of 30 to 50 conversions per month per campaign to optimise effectively. Target ROAS requires accurate revenue values being passed with each conversion. We audit whether each campaign has sufficient conversion volume for its bidding strategy, whether conversion values are being passed correctly, and whether portfolio bidding strategies are grouping campaigns with compatible conversion types.

5. Quality Score diagnosis

We audit Quality Score by component for each keyword: expected CTR, ad relevance, and landing page experience. A keyword with a Quality Score of 4 costs roughly 2.5 times more per click than the same keyword at a Quality Score of 8. We identify the specific component failing for each low-QS keyword and write the fix instructions. Ad relevance failures are fixed with tighter ad group theming or dedicated ad copy. Landing page experience failures are fixed with page relevance improvements or dedicated landing pages.

6. Ad copy and asset performance analysis

We analyse responsive search ad asset performance ratings, headline and description combination serving data, and ad variation test results. Ads with low or "learning" asset ratings are rewritten using the specific copy principles that drive Quality Score: keyword inclusion in the headline, clear value proposition in the description, and CTA specificity. We also audit ad extensions (now called assets) for completeness: accounts without sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets, and call assets are leaving Quality Score and CTR improvements on the table.

7. Audience and bid adjustment analysis

We review all demographic, device, location, and audience bid adjustments and compare them to conversion rate data by segment. Most accounts have default bid adjustments that are years old and no longer reflect actual conversion patterns. We identify segments where conversion rates are significantly above or below the account average and quantify the bid adjustment changes required. We also audit RLSA and customer match audience configurations to ensure remarketing audiences are being leveraged in search campaigns.

8. Budget allocation versus performance

We map spend allocation against conversion volume and CPA by campaign. In most accounts, 20 percent of campaigns drive 80 percent of conversions. We identify campaigns receiving budget that are not generating conversions and model the impact of reallocating that spend to the top-performing campaigns. We also identify campaigns that are budget-constrained during high-converting periods, leaving potential conversions uncaptured while budget sits unspent in low-performing campaigns during off-peak hours.

What you receive

A paid media audit report with a prioritised action list, a search term exclusion list ready to upload, conversion tracking fix specifications, Smart Bidding configuration recommendations, Quality Score improvement instructions, ad copy rewrites, and a budget reallocation model showing projected CPA improvement.

Klyverai content architecture framework showing topic cluster mapping, pillar page structure, and content compounding methodology
Content Creation Content Framework

How Klyverai Builds a Content Architecture That Compounds Over Time

The problem this solves

Most content programmes produce individual articles that rank for one keyword, attract traffic once, and then plateau. A content architecture that compounds is fundamentally different: every piece of content strengthens every other piece through topic authority and internal linking.

How we do it

1. Topic cluster identification

We identify 5 to 8 core topics that sit at the intersection of what your audience searches for, what you have genuine expertise in, and what connects to your commercial offer. Each topic becomes a cluster with one pillar page and 6 to 12 supporting articles. The pillar page targets a broad keyword. The supporting articles target specific long-tail questions within the topic. We validate cluster selection against keyword data to confirm each topic has sufficient search demand to justify the content investment.

2. Competitive content gap analysis

For each topic cluster we audit the top five ranking pages to understand what depth, format, and angle is currently rewarded. We identify content gaps: questions that searchers ask that no competitor answers well, data points that are referenced but not sourced, and sub-topics that ranking pages address superficially. Content built around these gaps has a clear path to outranking incumbents rather than competing head-on with established pages.

3. Pillar page architecture

A pillar page is not a long blog post. It is a comprehensive reference resource that answers the most important questions on a topic, links out to every supporting article in its cluster, and is structured for both human readers and LLM extraction. We build pillar pages to a minimum of 3,000 words with a clear header hierarchy, FAQ sections, and structured data. Each pillar page includes a table of contents, summary callout boxes for key points, and a "last reviewed" date to signal freshness.

4. Supporting article brief structure

Every supporting article brief includes: the primary keyword and intent, the specific question it answers, the unique angle that differentiates it from the three ranking competitors, the internal links it should receive and send, the FAQ schema questions to include, and the expert insight that makes it more authoritative than what already exists. Briefs also include a "do not repeat" list of claims already covered in the pillar page, preventing content duplication within the cluster.

5. EEAT integration process

Generalist content written from secondary research does not build EEAT. We build a process for extracting expertise from your team through 20-minute structured interviews and integrating unique perspectives, original opinions, and first-hand experience into every piece. Each article includes a named author with a linked bio, a publication date, and a credentials statement relevant to the topic. This is the difference between content that ranks and content that gets cited by other sites and LLMs.

6. Expert interview integration

Where internal expertise needs to be supplemented, we source and conduct interviews with third-party subject matter experts relevant to the topic. A quote from a practitioner with verifiable credentials elevates a piece above the commodity content that dominates most niches. We build a repeatable interview process: structured question sets, quote approval workflows, and author attribution that complies with Google's authorship guidelines.

7. Internal linking architecture

Every piece of content is mapped into the internal linking structure before it is published. Supporting articles link to the pillar page with topically relevant anchor text. The pillar page links to every supporting article with descriptive anchors. Newly published pieces receive internal links from existing pages on relevant topics within 48 hours of publication. We maintain a living internal link map for each cluster that is updated with every new publication.

8. Freshness maintenance protocol

Content published and left alone decays. Search engines and LLMs favour recently updated content on fast-moving topics. We build a freshness protocol into every content programme: a review calendar triggered by publication date and topic volatility, a trigger list of events that require immediate updates (regulatory changes, product updates, competitor moves), and a content performance dashboard that flags pages with declining rankings before they drop out of the top 10.

What you receive

A topic cluster map, competitive content gap analysis, pillar page architecture for each cluster, brief templates for all supporting articles, an EEAT integration guide, an expert interview process, an internal linking map, and a freshness maintenance protocol with review triggers.

Klyverai brand positioning framework showing competitive perception mapping, positioning statement construction, and identity system methodology
Branding Strategy Framework

How Klyverai Builds Brand Positioning That Survives Market Pressure

The problem this solves

Most brand positioning documents sit in a Google Drive folder and have no connection to how the sales team pitches, how the website converts, or how customers describe the product to colleagues. A brand position that does not govern decisions in every department is not a position. It is a slide.

How we do it

1. Competitive perception mapping

Before defining your position we map how the market currently perceives the major players in your category including you. We collect this through customer interviews, review platform analysis, social listening, and sales call review. We identify the perception gaps: attributes that customers value and that no competitor credibly owns. These are the positioning opportunities. We also map which competitors are actively contesting each positioning territory and how defensible their claim is.

2. Customer language audit

The most effective brand positioning uses the language customers already use to describe the problem and the value, not the language the company uses internally. We collect customer language from sales call transcripts, support tickets, review platform text, customer interview recordings, and community discussions. We identify recurring phrases, analogies, and frames that customers use unprompted. These become the raw material for messaging that resonates immediately rather than requiring education.

3. Internal truth excavation

The most defensible brand positions are built on something that is genuinely true about the company: a founder belief, an operational process, a customer relationship approach, or a product decision that competitors would not or could not copy. We run structured interviews with founders, senior team members, and long-tenured customers to find it. We are specifically looking for the things the company does that it considers normal but that customers describe as unusual or exceptional.

4. Positioning statement construction

We use a positioning statement structure: for [target customer], [brand] is the [category] that [differentiating benefit] because [reason to believe]. Every word is pressure-tested. If the reason to believe is something every competitor could claim, it is not a reason to believe. We iterate until the statement is specific enough to guide a hiring decision. The test: could you use this positioning statement to explain to a job candidate why working here is different from working at a competitor?

5. Positioning stress test

We test the positioning statement against three scenarios before finalising it. Scenario one: can the sales team use it to handle the most common objections they hear? Scenario two: does it differentiate the brand on a dimension the target customer actually values, not just a dimension that sounds good internally? Scenario three: is it sustainable — can the company continue to deliver on this position as it grows and the market changes? Positions that fail any scenario are revised.

6. Brand voice and messaging hierarchy

Positioning drives voice. We translate the positioning statement into a brand voice guide with tone attributes, vocabulary choices, and anti-patterns: words and phrases that contradict the positioning and should never appear in brand communications. The messaging hierarchy defines the primary message, three supporting messages, and the proof points for each. Every piece of content, every sales email, and every ad can be measured against this hierarchy. We include worked examples for each channel: how the positioning sounds in a LinkedIn post, a sales email, a homepage headline, and a support interaction.

7. Name, tagline, and nomenclature review

For new brands or rebrand engagements we evaluate name options against the positioning criteria: is the name consistent with the positioning attributes, easy to recall, available as a domain and trademark, and distinctive enough to stand out in search results? For existing brands we review the product and feature naming system for internal consistency and positioning alignment. Nomenclature that contradicts the brand position creates cognitive dissonance at every customer touchpoint.

8. Identity system application

Visual identity follows positioning, not the other way around. Once the positioning and voice are defined, we brief the visual system around expressing them. Typography, colour, layout decisions, and imagery direction are all connected back to the positioning attributes. A brand that says it is precise should look precise. A brand that says it is human should feel human. We produce a visual brief that any design team — internal or external — can use to make decisions that are consistent with the positioning.

What you receive

A competitive perception map, customer language audit, positioning statement with stress-test documentation, brand voice guide with anti-patterns, a messaging hierarchy with proof points, a naming and nomenclature review, and a visual identity brief connecting every design decision to positioning.

FAQs

How We Work: Frequently Asked Questions

Questions clients ask after reading our methodology pages.

What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?

SEO optimizes for ranking in traditional search results. AEO optimizes for appearing in AI Overviews, featured snippets, and zero-click answer boxes. AEO focuses on question intent, direct answer formatting, FAQ schema, and entity completeness rather than keyword density and backlink volume. Most businesses need both, and they reinforce each other when done well.

What is GEO and why does it matter for my business?

GEO optimizes your content and entity presence to be cited by large language models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. As more B2B research begins with AI prompts rather than Google searches, businesses not appearing in LLM outputs are invisible to a growing segment of their most valuable prospects. GEO is where SEO was in 2010: the businesses investing now are building compounding advantages.

How does Klyverai approach content differently from other agencies?

We build content architectures rather than individual articles. Every piece of content is part of a topic cluster with a pillar page, internal linking structure, and expert input integrated from your team. We combine keyword research, EEAT signals, and a freshness maintenance protocol to build content that compounds in authority over time rather than peaking and declining.

Does Klyverai do branding as well as digital marketing?

Yes. Klyverai offers brand positioning and identity system development. Our approach connects brand positioning directly to marketing performance: the positioning statement governs content voice, ad messaging, and conversion copy. We do not treat branding as a separate creative exercise. Every brand decision is tested against whether it will make acquisition more or less effective.

Can I hire Klyverai for just one service or do I need to use multiple?

You can engage Klyverai for a single service. Many clients start with an SEO audit or an AI discovery session and expand from there once they see how the work is done. We do not require multi-service retainers. That said, the services compound each other: SEO traffic converts better with good UX, and paid media performs better when organic authority is strong.
