Buried is an organic search agency based at 8 Windsor Terrace, in Clifton, Bristol, with further offices in London, Birmingham and Dublin. It was founded by Will Tombs, who led strategy at major London agencies before moving client-side to lead growth marketing, built and scaled teams inside billion-dollar businesses, and won a Deloitte Fast 50 award as one of the fastest-growing startups. The agency sums up its way of working in three phrases: founded by performance marketers, delivered by human experts, accelerated by AI.

It treats SEO and GEO as one plan, and its promise to clients is short: no juniors on the account, no vanity metrics, no jargon, only senior specialists focused on growth that can be measured.

## What Buried does

- **SEO**, with dedicated tracks for e-commerce, Shopify and local search
- **GEO (AI search)**: making a brand findable, citable and recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews
- **Agentic AI**: AI agents built around its own processes and supervised by its team
- **Digital PR and link building**
- **Analytics and strategy**

## How its GEO work runs

Buried describes its generative engine optimisation in five steps:

1. **GEO audit**: speed, rendering, structured data, content quality and links.
2. **Competitor analysis**: benchmarking a brand against its market leaders on visibility and prompt coverage.
3. **Prompt research**: finding how the brand's customers actually question generative engines.
4. **Reporting set-up**: tracking visibility and citations, grouped by prompt tags.
5. **Content planning**: recommendations where GEO and SEO overlap.

The work comes as e-commerce, international or local GEO, and covers technical GEO, schema and structured data, GEO content, digital PR, tracking, reporting and training for in-house teams. Buried tracks brand mentions across language models, citation frequency, prompt-level visibility, source types, sentiment and accuracy, competitive share of voice, and the traffic and conversions that AI brings. Its tools include Peec AI, Athena and Google Analytics 4.

The agency expects early visibility shifts within four to eight weeks, and a meaningful competitive advantage over three to six months.
