SEO that survives
enterprise martech.

Adobe is the most powerful martech stack in market and the most punishing on SEO when implementations are not governed end-to-end. We audit AEM, Adobe Commerce, Target, Analytics and AEP deployments for the SEO debt that personalisation, A/B testing and complex authoring quietly accumulate.

Enterprise SEO is a governance problem before it is a technical problem.

Most enterprise martech stacks are not designed for SEO. They are designed for personalisation, A/B testing, multi-brand authoring and audience activation. SEO is the surface that suffers when those priorities run unchecked, and on the Adobe stack specifically, the failure modes are predictable.

Where most Adobe-stack rollouts leak: AEM author environments accidentally indexed, Target personalisation creating cloaking risk on home and category pages, Adobe Commerce inheriting Magento’s layered-nav crawl traps, Analytics implementation flagging false-positive ecommerce events, and Edge Delivery Services rollouts launching without server-side hreflang. Each one is fixable. None are obvious from the outside.

We work with in-house digital teams, system integrators (DEPT, Razorfish, Merkle) and Adobe Gold partners as the SEO and AEO governance layer on top of an existing Adobe build. We audit AEM, scope Edge Delivery migrations, write Target personalisation SEO rules, and ship the structured-data and entity work that lets enterprise brands rank for category terms AND earn AI Overview citations.

You’ll get a senior team that has shipped on AEM, Adobe Commerce and Edge Delivery, knows where each surface helps and hurts, and reports against organic revenue and brand visibility at the enterprise altitude executives actually care about.

Your Adobe Experience Platform, layer by layer.

L1

CMS layer

AEM Sites

Author environments, publish replication, template-level SEO defaults, dispatcher caching. The AEM-specific decisions that decide whether the site ranks at all.

L2

Adobe Commerce layer

Commerce

Adobe Commerce inherits every Magento SEO failure mode plus a few of its own. We audit at both levels.

L3

Target layer

Personalisation

Adobe Target is the single biggest enterprise SEO risk Adobe ships. Cloaking, variant indexation, and Googlebot handling all need explicit rules.

L4

Headless layer

Edge delivery

Edge Delivery Services rollouts launched in 2024 onward. The SEO patterns are still maturing. We have shipped enough to know where the gaps are.

L5

Ops layer

governance

Enterprise SEO failure is rarely a single bug. It is a process gap. We sit in your sprint cadence, your AEM workflow and your governance forum.

Moving to or from Adobe Experience Platform? Don’t lose your rankings.

Adobe migrations are rarely platform-to-platform. They are surface-to-surface inside the Adobe stack. AEM Classic to AEM as a Cloud Service. AEM templates to Edge Delivery Services. Adobe Commerce on-prem to Commerce Cloud. Each is high-stakes. Each is a redirect map and a content-continuity plan first.

Migrate into the Adobe stack

Replatforming into AEM, Adobe Commerce or AEP from another stack. We partner with your system integrator and own the SEO governance: redirect map, schema continuity, IA preservation.

Migrate inside the Adobe stack

Author environment indexation

AEM author environments accidentally indexed by Google is the most common enterprise SEO incident we see. The robots.txt rule is non-negotiable.

Dispatcher cache rule audit

Dispatcher caching rules govern how fast Googlebot can crawl. Wrong rules can throttle indexing for weeks.

Adobe Commerce layered nav indexation

Inherits every Magento layered-nav problem at enterprise scale. Decide which combinations earn indexable URLs.

Commerce

Cloaking audit

Adobe Target serves different content to Googlebot than to users if rules are not explicit. This is the single biggest manual-action risk on the Adobe stack.

Personalisation variant indexation

Target variants must NOT generate indexable URLs. We give you the rule and the QA process.

Document-based source SEO QA

Edge Delivery sources content from Google Drive or SharePoint documents. The SEO governance lives in those docs.

Questions, answered straight.

We are not an Adobe-certified implementation partner. We partner WITH Adobe Gold partners (DEPT, Razorfish, Merkle and others) as the SEO and AEO governance layer on top of their build. If you need a pure Adobe implementation partner, we will recommend one we trust.

Yes. Both. We have shipped on AEM 6.5, AEM as a Cloud Service, and Edge Delivery Services rollouts in the last 18 months.

With explicit rules. Adobe Target can be configured to serve consistent content to Googlebot while personalising for users. We write those rules, audit them quarterly, and document the QA process for your in-house team.

Yes. We sit alongside SIs and dev partners as the SEO governance layer, with named accountabilities, SEO acceptance criteria on every AEM workflow, and a quarterly executive scorecard.

Enterprise engagements are typically 12-month minimum, with quarterly governance reviews and embedded support on the SI’s sprint cadence. Senior team. Plain-English reporting at the executive altitude.
