Built on SEO, Not Over It
AmpUp had a few years of earned search equity, so the goal wasn't to start over. It was to make the site work harder. We rebuilt the content architecture around the questions customers were already asking, mapping each product and use-case page to a specific audience, search intent, and conversion path.
Just as important, the site was engineered to be read by machines as well as people. Structured data (JSON-LD) across key pages makes AmpUp legible to Google and AI crawlers alike. Internal links were mapped deliberately, so authority concentrates on the pages that matter instead of cannibalizing between them. The technical foundation stayed fast, mobile-first, and fully crawlable.
The payoff shows up in a channel that barely existed a year ago. Since Google launched AI Overviews in May 2026, AmpUp's citations in those answers climbed 52%, and across the 312 buyer prompts we track, AmpUp gets cited in AI answers three times as often as its nearest competitor. Building for machines and people at once meant clicks kept growing, up 9%, even as AI Overviews pushed organic links down the page and compressed click-through rates industry-wide.
SEO wasn't a layer added after design. Google Search Console, Scrunch, and Ahrefs run continuously to track keyword performance, surface content opportunities, and prioritize updates based on what audiences actually search. AI-assisted workflows speed research, briefs, and optimization, while strategy stays human-led.
