Search engineering at stockbroking scale

A stockbroking platform publishing at news velocity was losing search visibility to problems that had nothing to do with content quality. Two workstreams ran in parallel: sustaining a high-volume editorial output across business and market categories, and diagnosing the technical faults — a domain safety flag, recurring server errors, and a metadata defect on a templated page type — that were suppressing how much of that output search engines could actually reach.

Online communities

Arrse.co.uk

An established community platform had accumulated three separate problems that compounded each other: page loads that had degraded with growth, search visibility that had not kept pace with the community's authority, and a security posture that had not been revisited as the platform's profile grew. The engagement addressed all three concurrently.

Platform recovery

A large marketplace platform in the United States was experiencing critical downtime from compounding traffic and application faults. Soludome analysed requests through the web application firewall, identified and blocked the DDoS patterns, and repaired a third-party payment flow that allowed links to be generated repeatedly without authentication. Server load fell and platform performance improved after the work.

Education technology

Educativ.net

A platform that had previously ranked well had declined through a combination of technical and on-page problems: nearly ninety percent of the site failed Google's Core Web Vitals assessment, server response times were high, and metadata and content signals needed work. The engagement addressed those constraints together.

AI social media automation

A four-week automated publishing engagement on Facebook. The objective was not to increase posting volume for its own sake but to establish whether consistent automated output could expand reach beyond the existing follower base. It did — and the mechanism by which it did was more interesting than the headline growth.
