Health Score
Invisible to AI, missing from search: valux.uk has full crawler access and zero citations.
→ Trend: Steady
valux.uk opens all 15 AI crawlers and delivers sub-70ms server responses, but earns zero citations across 10 target AI queries and carries no external backlinks. Every agency Gemini names in response to the site's own target keywords has domain authority that valux.uk does not. The infrastructure layer is sound. The authority and content layers are commercially absent.

⚡ This Week's Critical Action
Write and deploy meta titles for all 9 core pages
Why it matters: 46 missing titles means Google and every AI crawler is classifying these pages without an explicit intent signal. It is the highest-leverage, zero-cost fix available and unblocks indexing for every downstream SEO action. It has been pending since at least 22 April.
How to fix: Open each of the 9 core pages in the Next.js metadata config. Write one title per page following the pattern: '[Primary keyword] — valUX' (e.g. 'GEO Audit UK — valUX', 'AI Search Visibility Audit — valUX', 'Bespoke Web Agency London — valUX'). Place the primary target keyword within the first 40 characters. Deploy, then verify with a fresh Lighthouse run and confirm titles appear in source.

Problems to Address
◆ AI SEARCH VISIBILITY
valux.uk does not appear in Gemini responses for any of its 10 target queries; all citations go to established agencies with domain authority the site does not yet hold.
Citations This Week
0
Key Finding
AI citation is gated on external authority, not crawler access. The site is fully open to all AI crawlers but earns zero mentions because it has no backlinks, no structured entity data, and citability scores averaging 41.5 — below the threshold where AI systems extract and attribute content with confidence.
Top GEO Fix
Deploy JSON-LD Organisation and Service schema
Why: Schema is the fastest entity signal available without third-party links. Gemini's knowledge graph reads JSON-LD at crawl time. Without it, valux.uk has no machine-readable proof of what it does, where it operates, or which SKUs it sells.
How: Add Organisation schema to the homepage: name, url, logo, sameAs linking to LinkedIn and Companies House, areaServed set to London, knowsAbout listing SEO and GEO. Add Service schema to /pulse for each SKU with name, description, provider, and areaServed. Validate with Google's Rich Results Test before deploying.
vs competitors: Re:signal and StudioHawk appear in Gemini responses for 'best SEO agencies London' and 'AI search visibility audit UK'. Both have structured entity data, backlinks from moz.com and searchenginejournal.com, and content scoring above 50 on citability. valux.uk trails by at least 3–4 months of authority-building at current velocity, assuming link acquisition starts this week.

5 Fix accessibility score (currently 4.8/10): audit colour contrast ratios across all pages, add alt text to all images, and ensure all form inputs carry explicit labels — this directly affects Lighthouse scores used by AI platform ranking 2 hrs medium
