The Northern Guide

From Limited Search Visibility to Reaching the Right Audience

The Northern Guide had valuable content covering days out, food, events, culture and travel across the North of England. However, some of its pages were not being indexed properly, limiting how easily potential readers could discover its content through Google. The publication was also looking to improve its search visibility and impressions so that more of its content could reach the right audience.

Breeze Development worked with The Northern Guide to address these search visibility challenges and strengthen its organic presence. The focus was on improving how the website and its content could be discovered in search, creating a stronger foundation for future SEO growth and helping upcoming content reach a wider audience.

The Work

Addressing Indexing Issues and Increasing Search Visibility

The Northern Guide came to Breeze Development with a clear challenge: some pages were not being indexed properly, limiting the website’s visibility and search impressions. We focused on strengthening the technical SEO foundations, improving crawlability and helping Google better discover and understand the site’s content.

Optimising Content to Improve SEO and LLM Search Visibility

We aligned The Northern Guide’s content with relevant search behaviour across the North of England. Alongside traditional SEO, we also considered LLM search, helping create content that is clearer, more structured and easier for search engines and AI-powered systems to understand.

Expanding AEO and GEO Visibility

We also focused on Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) to prepare The Northern Guide for the changing search landscape. This included optimising content for emerging AI-powered search experiences, including Google AI Overviews.

Optimising Pages and Expanding Keyword Coverage

We refined titles, headings, internal linking and other on-page elements across location and guide pages. Rather than targeting only a small number of terms, we worked to expand the site’s overall keyword footprint and improve visibility across a wider range of relevant searches.

Creating Measurable Search Growth

Our ongoing SEO work helped The Northern Guide grow from 300 search impressions to 761K+ and from 146 organic clicks to 14.9K+. The latest keyword snapshot also shows 347 tracked keywords, with 166 ranking in Google’s Top 10.
