Prepared exclusively for Fyorin

A continuously improved enterprise website

A managed enterprise website on a modern stack, paired with an SEO intelligence platform that audits the live site on a schedule and prepares improvements for review. Nothing reaches production without a person approving it.

The vision

How the engagement is structured

Two things that work together: a managed website rebuilt on a modern stack, and an SEO intelligence platform that audits the live site on a schedule and prepares improvements for review. Nothing reaches your live site without a person approving it.

Intelligence first

Every capability works as analysis and recommendation, with or without write access. This is real on day one.

Preparation where the stack allows

Because Born builds and operates the rebuild, content and metadata changes are prepared as unpublished CMS drafts for an editor. Code and configuration fixes are delivered as precise recommendations.

Honest degradation

If a data source is not connected, only the capability that needs it is affected. The platform states what is restricted and keeps delivering everything else.

02

The reference build

Search visibility engineered into the build

A live website on a modern Astro frontend, a Payload CMS, and Cloudflare hosting. Technical SEO is built into the pipeline, then verified continuously on the live site.

View the reference build ↗

The live Fyorin build, running on the proposed stack.

  • Core Web Vitals targeted green by construction (minimal client JavaScript, edge delivery), then monitored from real user data.
  • Schema.org markup (Organization, Product, FAQ, Breadcrumb) as reusable components, verified on every page.
  • XML sitemaps and canonical URLs generated at build time.
  • Open Graph, Twitter Card, and hreflang set in the build.
  • robots.txt and crawl guidance managed in the repository.
  • Redirect handling captured in the repository; dead pages with inbound links are flagged for a reviewed redirect.

The platform

The site and the intelligence that improves it, operated together.

Content layer

  • Localisation and direct database access

Frontend

Astro

  • Zero JavaScript by default
  • Island hydration only where needed
  • Image optimisation and critical CSS
  • View transitions without bundle bloat

Hosting

Cloudflare edge

  • Global edge delivery
  • DDoS protection and WAF
  • Automatic TLS and HTTP/3
  • Object storage and managed database

Intelligence

SEO platform

  • Scheduled audits of the live site
  • Findings turned into prioritised tasks
  • Fixes prepared as reviewed CMS drafts or recommendations

What's included

The capability set

Mapped to what is genuinely delivered. Every fix is prepared as a reviewed change, a CMS draft, or a recommendation.

Technical SEO, verified continuously

Engineered into the build, then checked on the live site on a schedule.

  • On page facts captured per page: title, meta, canonical, robots, lang, H1 and H2, Open Graph, declared Schema.org types, word count, link counts.
  • Drift detection between snapshots, graded critical, major, or minor.
  • Real user Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) from Google CrUX, with a task raised when a page regresses.
  • Lab performance, accessibility, best practice, and SEO scores tracked over time.
  • Uptime, SSL, DNS, mixed content, and broken links.

Organic SEO, continuously analysed

Keyword, content, and linking work delivered as evidence backed tasks.

  • Quick win CTR opportunities with exact proposed titles and meta descriptions.
  • Rank tracking with live SERP context and SERP feature detection.
  • Keyword suggestions from Search Console queries, clustered, intent classified, and scored for review before they join your tracked set.
  • Content gap analysis against your tracked competitors, feeding AI generated content briefs for editors.
  • Internal linking analysis from a live crawl, identifying orphan pages and specific links to add.
  • Metadata changes prepared as CMS drafts where connected, otherwise as recommendations.

Backlink and ranking intelligence

A provider agnostic ranking and backlink feed.

  • Keyword position tracking with search volume and CPC.
  • Backlink profile: referring domains, dofollow share, anchor distribution, spam scoring, broken backlinks.
  • Toxic domains identified with an allowlist guard, produced as an exact list for a person to upload (Google offers no programmatic disavow).
  • Competitor watch and keyword gap monitoring.
  • A monthly ranking and backlink scorecard in the client portal and as a PDF.

Search Console as a work queue

Google data treated as a live source of work.

  • Daily Search Console sync (Google data lags one to three days, so this is a daily sync, not a real time feed).
  • Query level impressions, clicks, CTR, and position by date, page, and device.
  • Index coverage and rich result status per inspected URL, turned into tasks.
  • Structured data warnings detected, repairs recommended.
  • Coverage and indexation gaps surfaced (we monitor, we never force indexing).

AI search visibility

Whether your brand earns citations in AI answers.

  • Brand and category prompts run against ChatGPT with web search.
  • Reports which domains earn citations and whether yours does.
  • A metered capability with a per query cost.

The always-on loop

What runs, and how often

The cadence on the Discovery plan. Scheduled audits prepare work for review; nothing publishes on its own.
