Week 1Google has just made the biggest change to how people search in 25 years. The new Intelligent Search Box, powered by Gemini 3.5, gives users more space to ask deeper questions and connects them directly to AI-generated answers. Search is becoming more conversational and more powerful at the same time.
Some people have questioned whether SEO is still worth investing in. The answer for Manchester businesses is yes, and then some. More people are using search than ever before. Google remains the most used product in the world. The brands showing up consistently in search results are the ones growing consistently.
What has changed is how you need to approach it. A strategy built on outdated tactics will not get the same results it did three years ago. But a properly structured, well-executed SEO strategy built around what your customers are actually searching for is still one of the highest-returning investments a Manchester business can make.
Whether they are typing into Google, asking Gemini or using ChatGPT, your customers are actively looking for what you sell. The question is whether they are finding you or your competitors.
Unlike paid ads that stop the moment your budget does, SEO builds value that compounds month on month. The brands investing in it now are building an advantage that gets harder to close.
The technical and content foundations that help you rank on Google are the same ones that help AI models understand, trust and cite your brand. Good SEO and AI search readiness are not separate things.
In 2026, your website is often the first and most important impression your brand makes. A generic template might get you online but it will not build trust, reflect your brand properly or give your customers the experience they expect from a business worth buying from.
Vertex Media on Building for 2026
"Every Manchester brand we work with gets a store that is built to rank, built to convert and built to look the part. Because in 2026, all three of those things matter and cutting corners on any one of them costs you more than it saves."Talk to us about your project ↗
We focus on measurable growth, not vanity metrics. Every build, migration, and optimisation is designed to increase revenue, improve conversion rates, and scale organic visibility.

View caseWe work closely with ambitious brands that want senior-led strategy, fast execution, and measurable results. Here's what that experience feels like from the client side.
Vertex are absolutely superb when it comes to SEO. Brad and Remel have been managing our online presence for many years now and we've seen repeat success time and time again. They're up to date with the current online trends and know what works best for us as a company. Would highly recommend Vertex if you're looking for an agency that cares about your brand growth.
Vertex have been very helpful and supportive with helping us gain a better online presence. Brad is very knowledgeable about the work required to get higher rankings and a better functioning website and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others who require similar services.
We needed a partner who could build everything from the ground up and make it work fast. Vertex delivered exactly that — and the results speak for themselves.
