Unosearch For UK Advertising & Marketing Agency
E Stronger Organic Rankings
Through targeted keyword research and on-site optimization, the client’s website began climbing for the search terms most relevant to their audience, improving overall organic visibility.
E GEO & AI Search Presence
By structuring content for generative engines, UnoSearch helped the client build a presence in AI-powered search results not just traditional Google rankings positioning them in front of prospects earlier in the research process.
E More Qualified Leads
The combination of improved rankings and stronger on-site content translated into an increase in qualified lead generation for the client’s business.
E Two-Channel Synergy
Traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimization reinforced each other rather than competing for resources organic authority and AI citation readiness were built in parallel, not sequentially.
Who is This Client?
The client is a UK-based advertising and marketing agency with 1–10 employees. Like many lean agencies, their team needed to punch above their weight in a competitive space winning visibility not just against other small agencies, but against larger, better-resourced competitors.
They engaged UnoSearch in July 2024 for an ongoing SEO and GEO engagement, with a project budget under $10,000 a scope built for a focused, high-leverage marketing push rather than a sprawling enterprise campaign.
The Problem: Visible to Competitors, Invisible to Prospects
A small advertising and marketing agency lives and dies by referrals and search visibility. When a prospective client searches for the kind of marketing help this agency offers, or asks an AI assistant to recommend an agency, the businesses that show up are the ones that get the call.
Before UnoSearch, the client’s organic footprint wasn’t strong enough to compete for the keywords that mattered, and their content wasn’t structured in a way that AI platforms could easily surface or cite. The result: prospects researching solutions were finding other agencies first not because this client’s work was weaker, but because their digital presence hadn’t been built to be found.
The Two-Channel Strategy
Channel 1 — SEO:
Improve the client’s organic search rankings through keyword research, on-page optimization, WordPress SEO fundamentals, and stronger site content targeting the terms their ideal clients were actually searching.
Channel 2 — GEO & AI Citations:
Structure the client’s content so that AI-powered search tools could surface and cite it when prospects asked about advertising and marketing services building credibility at the earliest research stage, before a prospect ever reaches out.
Channel 1: SEO — Building the Organic Foundation
UnoSearch’s work began with keyword research to identify the terms the client’s ideal customers were actually searching, followed by content development and copywriting to bring the site’s pages up to that standard. WordPress SEO fundamentals were addressed to ensure the technical foundation could support long-term ranking growth, rather than optimization efforts being undercut by an under optimized platform.

Channel 2: GEO & AI Citations - Being Recommended by AI
Alongside traditional SEO, UnoSearch worked to structure the client’s content so that it could be recognized and surfaced by AI-powered search tools the emerging channel through which more and more prospects now begin their research. This meant content built to directly and clearly answer the questions prospects were asking, rather than relying purely on traditional keyword-matching signals.
What Makes This Engagement Notable
A lean budget, focused scope
At under $10,000, this engagement shows that SEO and GEO gains aren’t reserved for large budget campaigns a focused strategy can move the needle for a small agency competing against bigger names.
GEO as a differentiator, not an afterthought.
The client specifically called out UnoSearch’s “expertise in GEO” as a standout for a marketing agency’s own prospects, being cited by AI tools is a meaningful trust signal in an increasingly AI-mediated research process.
An ongoing relationship
Starting in July 2024 and continuing today, this is a long-term engagement rather than a one-off project reflecting sustained, compounding SEO and GEO gains rather than a short-term push.
The Results
The engagement delivered measurable improvement across the board organic traffic increased, keyword rankings climbed, and the client’s overall online visibility grew noticeably stronger. Alongside these gains, the work also translated into more qualified leads coming through, giving the client a steadier pipeline of the right kind of prospects. On top of the traditional SEO wins, the client also saw their presence strengthen in AI-powered search results, meaning they’re now showing up not just in classic Google rankings but in the AI-generated answers more and more prospects rely on during their research. Taken together, these results reflect a well-rounded improvement in both how easily the client is found and how many of the right people are finding them.
What Makes This Campaign Unique
What is GEO, and why does it matter for a marketing agency?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring content so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview can surface and cite it when someone asks a relevant question. For a marketing agency, being cited by AI tools during a prospect’s early research builds credibility before a single sales conversation happens.
Can a small agency with a limited budget see real SEO and GEO results?
Yes. This engagement had a budget under $10,000, and the client reported improved organic traffic, better keyword rankings, and stronger online visibility. Focused, well-targeted SEO and GEO work doesn’t require an enterprise-scale budget to produce meaningful results.
How long does it typically take to see SEO and GEO improvements?
This is an ongoing engagement that began in July 2024, and results compound over time rather than appearing overnight. Consistent keyword targeting, content development, and GEO-focused structuring build organic and AI visibility gradually and cumulatively.

What the Client Said
FAQs
How does appearing in Google AI Overview help an immigration consultancy?
Food and beverage procurement professionals increasingly use AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to research potential suppliers before making direct contact. A supplier cited by an AI platform receives an implicit credibility endorsement that shortens the trust-building process significantly. For Solnfield, AI citations directly generated new B2B inquiries from buyers who had never previously heard of the company.
Why does Meta advertising work for immigration and visa services?
Meta advertising allows precise professional targeting reaching H1B visa holders at specific employers, in specific job functions, who are statistically most likely to qualify for extraordinary ability visas. Jinee Green Card’s campaigns reached 6 million+ professionals, generating 15,500+ leads at costs as low as $2.96 per lead demonstrating that Meta is a highly efficient acquisition channel for immigration services when audience targeting is built around the specific profile of an EB-1A eligible professional.
What makes a supplier's content citable by AI platforms?
Traditional SEO gets Jinee Green Card ranked in Google’s organic results when someone searches for EB-1A guidance. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets Jinee cited in the AI-generated answers that appear when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overview about EB-1A eligibility. Both matter because professionals research across both traditional search and AI tools. UnoSearch built Jinee’s content to perform in both environments simultaneously.
How long did it take to appear in Google AI Overview?
GEO results typically begin appearing within 3 to 5 months of implementing structured content, entity markup, and direct-answer formatting. Jinee Green Card’s AI Overview citation for “eb1a profile” is the result of consistent GEO strategy implementation making every page on the site legible and trustworthy to AI platforms.
Can a specialist immigration consultancy compete with large law firms in AI search?
Yes — and specialist depth is often the advantage. Large immigration law firms typically cover hundreds of visa categories with broad, unfocused content. Jinee Green Card’s deep specialization in EB-1A, O-1A, and NIW profile building meant UnoSearch could build extremely specific, authoritative content around every extraordinary ability criterion — the kind of depth that AI platforms recognize and reward with citations.
