Elevam is a growth consultancy specialising in SEO and GEO for mid-sized companies in Spain. We apply our own CREF© framework (Consultoría de Crecimiento Elevam Framework) to turn organic traffic into measurable pipeline and revenue. We work with companies from €1M to €20M in revenue that need to integrate marketing and sales into their P&L.

The problem

Why your current SEO isn't moving your P&L

SEO has become a structural channel for any company that sells something. And yet, in most leadership meetings it's still a black box. Three typical symptoms.

  1. 01Your agency reports rankings, not business. Every month you get a report full of keywords, Search Console charts, and organic traffic increases. You close it and don't know how much pipeline SEO brought in this quarter. Your CFO doesn't either.
  2. 02You invest six figures a year in SEO with no real attribution. SEO is one of the most expensive channels when done well, and one of the least audited when done badly. If you can't answer how much a qualified opportunity through organic costs, you're flying blind.
  3. 03Your competition already shows up in ChatGPT and Gemini. You don't. A growing share of commercial-intent searches is already resolved inside AI Overviews and generative models. If your company isn't being cited by LLMs, you're losing share of answer before the customer even clicks.
CREF© framework

How we apply CREF© to your company's SEO

CREF© —Consultoría de Crecimiento Elevam Framework— is the system we apply to every SEO project. It isn't a list of tactics. It's a framework that orders the work in four phases with one single goal: that every euro invested in SEO translates into pipeline for your sales team.

  1. 01Phase 1 · Business diagnosis + joint audit. Before we touch the website we understand your P&L. Which business line performs, what margin each marketing euro can carry, which ICP converts best, what sales cycle your product has. The technical audit we deliver isn't measured in 404 errors, it's measured in euros of opportunity lost.
  2. 02Phase 2 · Architecture, entities, and structured data. We define which keywords to move based on LTV and CAC, not on volume. We build the semantic corpus that Google and the LLMs read as authority in your industry. We apply schema, internal linking, and entity architecture designed for traditional SEO and GEO at the same time.
  3. 03Phase 3 · Production and authority capture. Content designed to move the buying committee, not to feed an editorial calendar. Digital PR in media where your real customer is. Co-citation with the entities that matter to Google. No link farms, no cheap marketplace collaborations.
  4. 04Phase 4 · Proprietary measurement: Prompts × Models Matrix. Reporting integrated with your CRM. SEO attribution to pipeline. Share of Answer measured quarter by quarter in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity with our Prompts × Models Matrix. No vanity reports. No charts only the marketing team understands.
SEO service

What our SEO service includes

We don't sell technical SEO, on-page, and off-page as three separate services. What we deliver is a complete system. These are the eight parts of an SEO project connected to P&L.

  • 0101

    Technical SEO

    A poorly structured website is a recurring opportunity cost. Every inefficient crawl, every broken redirect, every Core Web Vital out of range is a commercial opportunity that never turns into a session. We audit, prioritise by revenue impact, and execute with or without your technical team.

  • 0202

    On-page SEO and content

    We produce content your ICP searches for with buying intent. Not articles to fill an editorial calendar. We define the corpus around your customer's real decision curve, from first friction to contract signature.

  • 0303

    Off-page SEO and digital PR

    Real authority isn't bought in link marketplaces. We work digital PR in outlets where your customer is, integrations with relevant podcasts and industry events, and co-citation with the entities Google associates with your vertical.

  • 0404

    Local SEO

    For companies with a physical presence that depend on a service radius: clinics, retail, professional services with geographic acquisition. Properly managed Google Business Profile, consistent NAP citations, active review management, hyper-local content.

  • 0505

    International SEO

    Not every company that could sell abroad should invest in international SEO. If your margin can't carry the investment, we tell you before we start. If it fits, we work hreflang structure, priority markets, and multilingual production with editorial judgment.

  • 0606

    Ecommerce SEO

    Ecommerce SEO is a different sport. Large catalogues, cannibalisations, selective indexing, product structured data, listing optimisation for conversion and for AI Overviews. We work with Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, and custom builds.

  • 0707

    B2B SEO

    Sales cycles of 3 to 18 months. Small and very specific audiences. Decision-makers who read LinkedIn and G2 before SEO blogs. Moving B2B SEO requires a different mindset: bottom-funnel content, real commercial intent, integration with the sales team. It isn't marketing for the algorithm, it's marketing for the buying committee.

  • 0808

    GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

    Being cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews is no longer optional. We apply our HSA Protocol and the Prompts × Models Matrix to measure and improve your Share of Answer in the LLMs your customers already use. If your current agency isn't talking to you about this yet, they're leaving you behind.

When Elevam isn't your SEO agency

Out of respect for your time and ours, we don't work with everyone. These are the cases where we don't fit.

  1. 01

    If you bill less than €1M and need results within 60 days

    SEO isn't that channel and we aren't that partner. We'd recommend investing in SEM while your business gains traction.

  2. 02

    If your leadership team won't integrate marketing with sales

    CREF© assumes we're going to touch how SEO connects with your sales funnel. If your sales director won't meet with marketing, let's save us both the two months of friction.

  3. 03

    If you want a consultancy that approves everything you say

    our job is to tell you what your P&L needs to hear, not what you want to hear.

  4. 04

    If what you want is to buy cheap links and automated reports

    there are agencies that do that at a competitive price. We don't.

What measures the success of an SEO project isn't rankings. It's the answer to a question: how much pipeline came in this quarter through this channel? If the agency can't answer that, they aren't doing SEO, they're doing reports.

Why our SEO includes GEO from day one

Two years ago, ranking on Google was the whole game. Today, a growing share of your customer's journey passes through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews before they reach your site. The two disciplines can no longer be separated. When we work SEO at Elevam, we also work GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). That means optimising so generative models cite you as a source. It means building entities, structured data, and content the LLMs can understand. It means measuring your Share of Answer in every relevant model and improving it quarter by quarter with our Prompts × Models Matrix.

SEO agency, SEO consultant, or in-house team: when to choose each

When it fits

Freelance SEO consultant

Small companies with their own marketing team that needs a strategic layer. Budget below €2,000/month. — Risk: Total dependence on a single person. Zero execution capacity. When the consultant disappears, the knowledge disappears.

Frequently asked questions about hiring an SEO agency

The usual range for mid-sized companies sits between €2,000 and €12,000 per month depending on scope, project size, and depth of integration with your team. Below €1,500/month is basic execution. Above €8,000/month we're already talking about projects with a dedicated team, GEO included, and reporting integrated with P&L. At Elevam the entry tier starts at €1,000/month.

The first signals —technical improvements, indexing, first ranking jumps— show up between 1 and 3 months. Business results —pipeline attributed to SEO, sustained organic revenue growth— usually appear between months 4 and 9. Any agency that promises you qualified pipeline in 60 days is either selling SEM in disguise or lying.

An SEO agency usually applies a standardised playbook: it executes tactics with a defined process. An SEO consultancy works from strategy: first it understands your business model, your P&L, and your sales cycle, and then it defines which SEO you need. Elevam is the second, although we optimise this page for «SEO agency» because that's how most companies search for this service.

Not by traffic or by rankings. It's measured by pipeline attributed to the organic channel, cost per qualified opportunity via SEO, channel contribution to closed revenue, and payback on SEO investment. For B2B companies, also by sales meetings generated. At Elevam the reporting includes these metrics integrated with your CRM, not Search Console exports.

B2B SEO targets small audiences with high buying intent and long decision cycles. Content focuses on bottom-funnel: comparisons, use cases, integrations, pricing. High-volume B2C keywords are irrelevant. Buying-committee queries are what move the needle. Success is measured in SQLs, not in traffic.

Searches with AI Overviews and generative answers reduce click-through to web pages by between 30% and 60% depending on vertical. Your customer keeps researching, but a lot of that research happens inside the model. If your company doesn't appear cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity when your customer asks, you're losing Share of Answer. GEO is the answer to this shift.

We work with mid-sized companies in any industry with one common denominator: they have a clear ICP, a margin that carries sustained marketing investment, and a leadership team willing to integrate marketing with sales. Industries with relevant cases: industrial, automotive, legal, private healthcare, professional services, B2B software, and mid-market ecommerce.

Minimum commitment of 6 months. SEO on shorter timelines doesn't make sense for you or for us: what's set up in 3 months is dismantled in 3 months. After month 6, the relationship renews quarterly with no lock-in.
