Intium SEO Strategy Driving AI Visibility Growth
An SEO and AI visibility strategy that transformed Intium from near-zero search presence into a high-authority digital platform, driving 16.5× keyword growth and significantly higher engagement from AI-driven traffic.
Client: Intium
Industry: Energy Infrastructure
Services: SEO Strategy, Technical SEO, Content Strategy, Information Architecture, Analytics, AI Visibility Optimisation
Overview
Intium partnered with Deepend to transform its digital presence from near invisibility into a high-performing, AI-visible platform – unlocking 16.5× growth in keyword visibility and significantly improving engagement across both traditional and AI-driven search channels.
At the outset, Intium’s website was technically constrained, poorly indexed, and lacked structured content aligned to its commercial services. Deepend reengineered the foundation – combining technical SEO, strategic content architecture, and AI-optimised signals to build authority across both search engines and emerging AI discovery platforms.
The Challenge
- Minimal search visibility (17 ranking keywords)
- Only 13 pages indexed by Google
- Critical technical issues blocking crawlability (robots.txt errors)
- Duplicate metadata and poor mobile usability
- No structured content aligned to core services
- Competitors dominating search with 800+ keywords
The Opportunity
- Establish a search-visible foundation through technical optimisation
- Build authority in high-value service areas (Network Connections, EVCI)
- Create content aligned to real buyer needs (developers, investors, enterprises)
- Position Intium for AI-driven discovery and citation
- Turn visibility into engagement and commercial opportunity
Our Approach
Deepend executed a phased SEO strategy across technical optimisation, content architecture, and AI visibility – ensuring the platform could be discovered, understood, and prioritised by both search engines and AI systems.

Problem & Insight
Despite strong technical expertise and a unique integrated service model, Intium was effectively invisible online. Critical technical issues prevented search engines from indexing the site, while the absence of structured, service-aligned content meant even indexed pages lacked relevance.
The key insight:
visibility is not just about ranking – it’s about being understood by both search engines and AI systems.
To compete, Intium needed to establish authority across both layers of discovery.
AI-optimised content
Content was structured for answer extraction and citation, leading to an increase in AI-referrals.
Analytics setup
We set up GA4 and Google Search Console analytics for Intium, and optimised it for traditional search and AI-driven discovery.
Strategy & Experience Design
The strategy focused on building a dual-optimised system – for traditional search and AI-driven discovery.
Key strategic shifts included:
- Structuring the site around core commercial services.
- Creating content aligned to real user problems and intent.
- Replacing technical jargon with clear, outcome-driven language.
- Designing content to directly answer complex industry questions.
A pillar-based architecture was introduced, enabling scalable content expansion while reinforcing authority in priority areas.
A proof-of-concept article demonstrated immediate traction, generating 3,773 sessions from a single piece, validating the demand for authoritative, educational content.

Technology & Delivery
Deepend rebuilt the technical foundation to ensure the site could be properly crawled, indexed, and interpreted.
This ensured Intium was not just searchable – but discoverable, interpretable, and recommendable by AI systems.
Key technological improvements included:
- Resolving robots.txt errors blocking search engines
- Fixing duplicate metadata and improving relevance signals
- Implementing mobile optimisation (viewport tags)
- Establishing analytics and search tracking infrastructure
AI visibility was embedded from the outset:
- Schema markup to improve machine understanding
- Content structured for answer extraction and citation
- Monitoring AI referral traffic and search health
- E-E-A-T signals to strengthen authority across search and AI platforms
Results
Within six months, Intium transitioned from near-total invisibility to a strong authority position in its category.
Search performance improved significantly:
- Keyword footprint expanded from 17 to 281
- Average position improved from 51 to 40
- Click-through rates exceeded benchmarks at 32%
Engagement quality also transformed:
- Average session duration increased from 9 seconds to 1 minute 43 seconds
- AI-referred users showed substantially higher intent and engagement
AI visibility emerged as a key growth channel:
- 92% AI Search Health score
- AI-driven traffic delivering 20× higher engagement than paid social
The result is a digital platform that not only ranks – but earns attention, trust, and engagement in an increasingly AI-mediated discovery landscape.
