## Curator assessment
Reviewed 2026-08-06 by Gabor Kiss against published evidence.

The FreshGround engagement is the reason this listing exists: search work rebuilt around AI answers rather than blue links, published with commercial outcomes rather than ranking screenshots. Organic inquiries close to three times higher year on year, marketing-qualified leads up 56% in June, and total inquiries across all channels up by roughly a third over six months—about nine more inquiries per working day than a year earlier.

Inquiries and qualified leads are harder numbers than visibility scores, and an agency that leads with them is describing a business result rather than a dashboard.

What is not published is the method. The case names AEO and generative engine optimization as the approach but does not say which questions were tracked, on which assistants, or how the AI contribution was separated from the rest of the search work. That is the question to ask first.

The agency has run since 2012 out of Birmingham, with offices in Brixton and Dubai, and the wider portfolio is web, brand and lead generation for UK mid-market organizations—Civica, Leukaemia Care, Procure Education among them.

### Key strengths
- Reports inquiries and qualified leads rather than visibility scores—commercial outcomes a finance director would recognize
- Trading since 2012 with published offices in Birmingham, London and Dubai, each with a street address and phone number
- Sector depth in UK mid-market services, public sector and charity, where the buying process is slow and procurement-shaped

### Good to know
- The AEO method is named but not described—ask which questions, which assistants, and how AI-driven gains were isolated from ordinary SEO
- One documented AI engagement inside a very large portfolio of conventional marketing work
- City landing pages are templated—the London page still links to "Email marketing for Birmingham businesses"—so read them as marketing, not as evidence of where the team sits
