Service 03 — Fixed-scope projects

Large search problems, scoped properly.

A flexible category for high-value search problems that do not naturally fit a recurring retainer. Defined scope, defined timeline, senior people on the work from day one.

What we take on

Seven problems worth a project.

Each one is high-consequence and time-bound — the kind of work that gets deferred for years inside a retainer.

  • Site migrations

    Pre-launch modelling, redirect architecture, release QA and post-launch recovery.

  • Major technical SEO remediation

    Crawl, render and indexation failures at a scale that needs dedicated attention.

  • Search architecture redesign

    Rebuilding how commercial pages, clusters, linking and intent are organised.

  • Large-scale schema architecture

    Entity and structured data systems across templated estates.

  • SEO recovery engagements

    Diagnosing and reversing sustained declines after updates, migrations or neglect.

  • Analytics and search-measurement infrastructure

    Tracking, tagging and CRM stitching so search contribution can be measured at all.

  • Complex ecommerce search projects

    Faceted navigation, inventory-driven indexation and large catalogue architecture.

How we scope

Selectively scoped, on purpose.

These projects stay individually scoped until enough repeated demand exists to turn one into a dedicated productised sprint. We would rather quote the problem in front of us than sell a package that nearly fits it.

  • 01

    Define the problem

    A short discovery to establish what's actually broken, what it's costing and what 'done' looks like.

  • 02

    Fix the scope

    A written scope with a timeline, a deliverable list, an owner for each workstream and a fixed price.

  • 03

    Execute

    Senior delivery against the scope, with the same reporting rhythm as the ongoing program.

  • 04

    Hand over

    Documentation, specifications and QA notes, so your team can maintain what we built.

Project outcomes

  • Migration day was the least dramatic one we've had. Everything they said would happen, happened.
    James WhitfieldDirector of Engineering, Vertiq
  • The scope was fixed and so was the price. We have never had that from a search partner before.
    Sara LindholmHead of Ecommerce, Meridian Group
  • They handed over documentation our team still uses a year later.

One problem, one scope

Tell us what's broken.

If a project is the right shape we'll scope it. If the problem is really an ongoing one, we'll say that instead.
