Our Approach

The Strategy

STEP 01

Generative Engine Optimization

Restructured product and category content around the exact questions specifiers ask AI engines about decking, railing, and code compliance.

STEP 02

LLM-ready spec sheets

Rebuilt downloadable spec sheets and technical pages so LLMs could extract clean facts, dimensions, and code data on the brand.

STEP 03

Product catalog schema

Deployed product, offer, and manufacturer schema across the catalog so listings became eligible for rich results and AI extraction.

STEP 04

Contractor portal SEO

Optimised the contractor and specifier portal for indexation and internal linking, feeding authority into the pages that drive spec-ins.
