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

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

AI-optimised content

Content was structured for answer extraction and citation, leading to an increase in AI-referrals.

Analytics setup

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.
