Hive19

Based in Brighton, Hive19 is a small specialist agency working with brands in sectors such as Fintech and SaaS, according to client testimonials on its site. It positions itself as a link building and copywriting agency whose focus has expanded from traditional SEO authority-building into visibility across AI-driven discovery platforms, including generative AI results, LLM responses and AI Overviews. Its client base includes companies looking to strengthen both search engine rankings and their presence within emerging AI ecosystems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot. The agency's core services centre on link building and content, underpinned by its own authority-checking tool, HiveRank®. It also offers guides and resources covering link building and content strategy, alongside broader digital services including SEO, generative AI optimisation (referred to variously as GEO, AIO, AEO and LLMO), public relations, content marketing and digital strategy. The stated method is to build off-site and on-site authority and trust signals so that brands are recognised, cited and accurately represented both in conventional search results and in AI-generated answers. Hive19 frames this as helping brands become a trusted, referenced entity within AI search ecosystems rather than treating SEO and AI visibility as separate disciplines, aiming to keep clients present in the prompts and conversations that increasingly shape consumer decisions.
