Orion — the operating system for modern search
Last updated:
Orion unifies classic SEO, Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and AI content workflows into a single workspace, powered by one crawl that feeds every module. Most tools stop at findings. Orion audits your site, scores every page across 40+ signals, writes the exact replacement content your developers should ship, and compiles a Developer Handoff PDF that can be actioned the same day — then tracks whether your brand is being quoted inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, the new front page of search.
1 · Autopilot
- Crawls in batches of 75 pages that you choose — 1–75, 76–150, and so on
- Failing pages prioritised first so highest-impact work surfaces immediately
- Writes the exact replacement text for titles, metas, H1s, links and schema
- Titles and metas generated inside real character ranges, never cut mid-sentence
- Developer Handoff PDF: instructions catalogued once, referenced by code per page
- Re-run the same batch after deployment to verify — green means done
2 · Site Health
- 120+ technical and on-page checks across the whole crawl
- Core Web Vitals from real Chrome UX Report field data
- JavaScript-driven content rendered the way a browser sees it
- Issues grouped by category and severity — critical, high, medium, low
- Affected URLs attached so a developer can clear a category in one pass
- Every issue expands to a fix written against your actual page
3 · GEO
- Add the real questions buyers ask AI assistants
- Weekly cadence across up to eight engines with per-engine breakdowns
- Records mentioned, cited with a link, or absent — plus competitor share of voice
- Valid JSON-LD for FAQ, Article, Product, Organisation and more
- Schema validated with a live fetch of the deployed page, never assumed
- Entity registration for brand, people and products with knowledge-panel gaps
4 · Content
- Gap analysis showing keywords competitors own that you do not
- Filtered by intent and difficulty, with existing pages matched first
- One-click brief from any gap
- Live E-E-A-T and on-page SEO scoring while you write, targeting 80+
- Concrete additions suggested for the weakest dimension
- Shared calendar with publishing to WordPress, Shopify or Webflow
5 · Links
- Referring domain growth trended beside traffic as a leading indicator
- Anchor mix: branded, exact-match and generic distribution
- Over-optimisation patterns flagged before they cost rankings
- Toxicity signals attached to every flagged domain
- Disavow decisions documented with the evidence behind the flag
- One authority profile view instead of three separate tools
6 · Local
- Google Business Profile audit with prioritised gaps
- Name-address-phone mismatches listed with their source citation
- Review response rate and recency tracked as ranking signals
- Weekly prompts to keep review cadence without a spreadsheet
- Multi-location ready — 5 locations on Growth, 25 on Agency
- Add-on locations available for larger footprints
7 · Reports
- Scheduled email digests timed to land before your stand-up
- White-label PDF reports and client-ready share links
- Custom dashboards assembled per client
- Anomaly alerts when traffic or rankings move
- Logo and colour branding on Agency and Enterprise plans
- In-app, email and Slack notifications for completed runs
The core loop: crawl, score, fix, verify
Orion runs one loop repeatedly: crawl, score, generate copy-paste fixes, compile the handoff, deploy, then re-run the same batch to verify. The loop matters more than any individual feature, because the failure mode of traditional SEO tooling is not a lack of findings — it is the gap between a finding and a shipped change. A report that says "meta description too long on 240 URLs" still needs someone to write 240 meta descriptions.
Orion closes that gap by ending every recommendation in final text. A title arrives inside its real character range and reads as a complete sentence. An internal link arrives with anchor text and destination. A schema block arrives as valid JSON-LD for that specific page. Because the work is batched into 75 pages at a time, a team can ship, verify and move to the next slice instead of staring at a backlog of thousands of rows.
One dataset behind every module
A single crawl feeds Site Health, Content, GEO, Links, Local and Reports. There is no re-crawling per module and no conflicting page counts between screens, which is the usual cost of assembling a stack from a crawler, a rank tracker, a content tool, a link monitor, a local-audit app and a reporting builder.
That dataset is grounded in real search data rather than estimates. Google Search Console supplies queries, impressions, clicks and positions; GA4 supplies traffic and conversions. Recommendations are therefore sequenced against pages that already earn impressions, not against a keyword list disconnected from how the site actually performs.
Why GEO is now part of SEO
Buyers increasingly ask an assistant instead of scanning ten blue links, and the answer they receive may cite three sources or none. Being absent from that answer is a new category of invisibility that classic rank tracking cannot detect, because there is no position to track.
Orion treats it as a measurable surface. You register the questions your buyers actually ask, and Orion runs them weekly across the major assistants, recording whether your brand was mentioned, cited with a link, or omitted entirely — with competitor share of voice beside it. Because AI answers lean heavily on structured data and entity clarity, Orion also generates the JSON-LD those engines rely on and validates it against the live page, then helps register your brand, people and products as entities so assistants describe you accurately.
How it works, step by step
Setup takes roughly ten minutes. Create your workspace and add a site and Orion detects your CMS, sitemap and page count automatically. Connect Google Search Console for ground-truth query data, then GA4 to attribute traffic and conversions to the pages Orion optimises. Add competitors — Orion auto-suggests rivals from SERP overlap — to power gap analysis, benchmark scoring and share of voice in AI answers.
Your first audit runs in five to fifteen minutes: 120+ technical and content checks, Core Web Vitals, and per-page structured-data validation. Orion then sequences the findings into a prioritised backlog with effort and impact attached to each item. From there you work in loops — pick a 75-page batch, generate copy-paste fixes, ship the Developer Handoff PDF, re-run to verify — while GEO, Content and Reports run in parallel: buyer questions monitored, gaps turned into briefs and published at an 80+ E-E-A-T score, and scheduled digests keeping stakeholders informed without you building slides.
Why teams switch to Orion
Orion replaces a fragmented stack of crawlers, rank trackers, content tools, link monitors, local-audit apps and reporting builders with one workspace on one dataset, so the numbers never disagree between screens. Because every recommendation ends in final text rather than a twenty-minute interpretation exercise, the time from audit to shipped fix drops from weeks to the same day.
Control stays with your team. Orion is read-only by default and never changes your website automatically — your team or CMS applies every fix. Reports, drafts and exports are yours to keep, and can be white-labelled on Agency and Enterprise plans. Orion is built and operated by ID8 in Dubai, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for AI startups.
How we know
Last updated:
Orion's batching model came directly from delivery experience: a single audit across thousands of URLs produces a document no engineer reads. Working in 75-page batches with instructions catalogued once and referenced by code per page keeps the Developer Handoff PDF short enough to action, and re-running the same batch after deployment turns verification into a repeatable step rather than a manual spot-check.
Statistic: Google's Chrome UX Report (CrUX) is the official source of real-user Core Web Vitals — LCP, CLS and INP — used as page-experience signals in Search. Orion pulls CrUX field data for the URLs it crawls so reports reflect real users rather than lab-only proxies.

Orion is ID8's AI-native SEO and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) platform — the operating system for modern search. One crawl feeds every module: Autopilot, Site Health, GEO, Content, Links, Local and Reports. Every recommendation ends in final, copy-paste-ready text rather than advice.
GEO is the practice of optimising content, structured data and entity links so AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — surface and cite your brand when buyers ask category questions. Orion monitors those prompts weekly and records whether you are mentioned, cited with a link, or absent.
Autopilot crawls in batches of 75 pages that you choose — pages 1–75, 76–150 and so on, with failing pages prioritised first. It validates every SEO, content and GEO signal, writes the exact replacement text, and compiles a Developer Handoff PDF. After fixes ship, re-run the same batch to verify.
A single document your engineers can action the same day. Fix instructions are catalogued once at the top and referenced by code per page, so the file stays short enough for any reviewer or parser to read instead of repeating the same guidance for every URL.
Yes. Titles and meta descriptions are generated inside real character ranges and never cut mid-sentence. H1s, internal links, JSON-LD blocks and content additions arrive as final text, so there is no interpretation step between the audit and the deployment.
A deep crawl scored against 120+ technical and on-page checks, with Core Web Vitals pulled from real Chrome UX Report data. JavaScript-driven content is rendered the way a browser sees it, so single-page apps score accurately. Issues are grouped by category and severity — critical, high, medium and low — with affected URLs attached.
Prompts run on a weekly cadence across up to eight AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, with per-engine breakdowns and competitor share of voice. Enterprise plans add premium engines such as Copilot, Grok and Meta AI.
Orion generates valid JSON-LD for FAQ, Article, Product, Organisation and more, then validates it against the deployed page with a live fetch. A page is only marked valid after that fetch — never assumed from a template.
It finds the keywords competitors own that you do not, filtered by intent and difficulty, turns a gap into a brief in one click, scores E-E-A-T and on-page SEO live as you write towards 80+, and publishes to WordPress, Shopify or Webflow from a shared calendar.
Yes. Links tracks referring domains, anchor mix, over-optimisation risk and toxicity with evidence behind every disavow decision. Local audits your Google Business Profile, lists every name-address-phone mismatch with its source, and tracks review response rate and recency across multiple locations.
No. Orion is read-only by default. It writes the fix; your team or CMS applies it, so you keep full control of what goes live.
Semrush and Ahrefs were built for the keyword era and stop at findings. Orion combines classic SEO, AI-engine visibility, live-HTML schema validation, batched Autopilot fixes and a developer handoff document on one dataset — and it plugs Semrush data in for keyword and competitive enrichment where you want it.
Google Search Console for real query and ranking data, GA4 for traffic and conversion attribution, Semrush for keyword and competitive enrichment, Firecrawl for rendered crawling of JavaScript-heavy sites, CMS publishing to WordPress, Shopify and Webflow, and Slack for run, anomaly and review alerts.
