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.

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.
CMS layer
Author environments, publish replication, template-level SEO defaults, dispatcher caching. The AEM-specific decisions that decide whether the site ranks at all.
Adobe Commerce layer
Adobe Commerce inherits every Magento SEO failure mode plus a few of its own. We audit at both levels.
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 to Adobe Experience Platform
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 from Adobe Experience Platform
AEM Classic to AEM Cloud. Adobe Commerce on-prem to Commerce Cloud. AEM templates to Edge Delivery Services. We have shipped each. The redirect map is the work.

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.
