What we do
Customers still open Google, increasingly ask an assistant first, and will eventually send something to do the research for them. Each of those needs different work, and each deserves a different level of confidence from anyone selling it to you.
Google rankings, the local map pack, and the commercial pages a category, product or service actually gets found through. Technical fixes first, then the pages, then the authority that holds them in place.
Established discipline. Measurable in Search Console from week one.
SEO services in Sri LankaWhether ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews name your business, whether what they say about it is accurate, and what moves those two things. Baselined against a recorded prompt set rather than asserted.
Six published case studies measure this from raw exports.
AI search optimizationBusiness and product information an AI agent can crawl, read and verify: prices, limits, locations, opening details and policies as text rather than images. Scoped so every fix is justifiable on today’s search alone.
No results to show yet. The measurement to prove them does not exist.
Agentic search readinessSEO services
Maxinium sells search and nothing else: no websites, no social media management, no ad retainers. What that buys you is sequencing. The technical work that unblocks indexing comes before the pages, the pages come before the authority work, and every one of them is reported against enquiries rather than against a rankings screenshot.
How engagements start
Every engagement begins with a conversation, not a proposal. Send your site and the competitors outranking you, and you will get an honest read on whether we can really help, including when the answer is that SEO is the wrong spend for you.
24h
Honest answer
1:1
Founder access
A full technical audit of your site (crawling, indexing, speed, mobile and structure) then the fixes, shipped in the order that moves rankings fastest.
We map what Sri Lankan buyers actually type (in English, Sinhala and Tamil) then rebuild your pages around those queries instead of around your org chart.
Local SEO in Sri Lanka for businesses that need to show up in the map pack when someone in Colombo searches on their phone.
Editorial links, local PR and content that earns citations, because in a market this size authority is what separates page one from page two.
Ecommerce SEO for Sri Lankan online stores: category pages that rank, product pages that convert, and a technical layer that does not fight the platform.
Getting recommended by ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, the shortlist your customer now sees before they see any website.
Who we serve
A dental clinic in Nugegoda, a fashion store shipping island-wide and an apparel exporter selling to Europe are three completely different search problems. The process adapts. The sequencing does not.
Clinics, law firms, dentists, contractors, schools and repair services. You do not need national rankings, you need to be the first result when someone within 10km reaches for their phone, and the business an assistant names when they ask it instead.
Online stores selling into Sri Lanka, and Sri Lankan brands shipping abroad. Ecommerce SEO where category pages carry the revenue and the platform fights you at every turn.
Apparel exporters, BPOs, tourism operators and software companies based here but selling to the UK, US, EU or Australia. Sri Lankan cost base, international-standard search competition. Software companies specifically are served through the SaaS SEO service.
Fit comes first
Maxinium runs a deliberately small roster, because founder-led work does not scale by adding headcount. Before any proposal we check whether the search demand exists in Sri Lanka, whether your site converts the visitors it already gets, and whether the timeline is realistic against the competitors you named. If the answer is no, we say so on the first call and point you somewhere more useful: sometimes that is paid ads, not SEO. Saying no to the wrong fit is what lets us give the right fit real attention.
What we look for
Sri Lanka
Based in Colombo, serving businesses across Sri Lanka. If you are weighing up which SEO company to use, the deeper page is SEO company in Sri Lanka: what the work covers, what it does not, how to judge any agency you are talking to, and the exports behind what is claimed here. What each tier includes is itemised on the SEO packages page, and the nine services are broken out on SEO services in Sri Lanka.
Our blueprint process
Every engagement runs the same SEO strategy: a repeatable system that removes guesswork, makes progress measurable, and compounds month after month. It is the same process we run on our own 16 properties, where we carry the downside ourselves when something does not work.
01
We crawl the site, pull your Search Console history and find what is actually holding the rankings back.
SEO audit02
Keyword and SERP mapping against the competitors who are beating you today, not a generic volume list.
Keyword research03
Technical repairs and on-page rebuilds shipped in priority order, starting with the pages closest to page one.
On-page & technical04
Content, local citations, links and the entity signals that get you cited by AI assistants as well as ranked.
Authority & AI05
Monthly: which queries moved, which pages earned clicks, what enquiries came in, and what happens next.
Monthly reportingCompounding organic growth
AI search & AI visibility
Customers increasingly ask an assistant to shortlist businesses and tools before they open Google at all. GEO, AEO and LLMO are labels people have attached to the same work: being the source an answer is built from. Our own properties have earned 302,037 Bing Copilot citations and 147,783 appearances inside Google AI features, with the exports published. If you are not the source the answer cites, the click never happens, and a click-based report will record that as nothing happening. See how AI search optimization works.

Worldwide specialist service
Software buyers arrive mid-evaluation, often typing a competitor's name, and a blog archive has nothing to say to them. The work is a commercial layer most software sites never build (comparison, alternatives, integration and use-case pages) sitting on top of technical handling that ordinary sites never need: app subdomains, separate docs platforms, JavaScript-rendered marketing pages. It is reported against organic-sourced trials rather than sessions. Maxinium sells this service internationally, from Colombo: see SaaS SEO services.
SEO ROI calculator
Move the sliders. This models organic growth the way we report it (visitors to signups to paying customers to revenue) so you can weigh it against a retainer before you talk to anyone. Amounts are in whatever currency you type into the last slider; there is no exchange rate hidden in here.
Extra revenue from organic search, year one
8.1M
Directional model, not a forecast. It assumes the traffic lift is reached at month 12 and then holds for a year, and it ignores seasonality, repeat purchases and anything your sales team closes without search. We rebuild it against your own Search Console and GA4 numbers together, which is the only version worth making a decision on.
SEO case studies
An AI tools directory that Microsoft Copilot cites roughly a hundred times for every organic click it sends, across 1,640 grounding queries, in five languages, with 52% of those citations on commercial-intent searches. One page alone has been cited 108,546 times. This is what it looks like when the answer engine becomes the audience.

This site earns 1,952 clicks (a fraction of the others) and yet 8.1% of its search impressions come from Google AI features, five times the rate of the largest property. It also holds 200 of 1,000 queries in the top three. Specificity, not scale, is what gets a site cited.
MakeMoneyOnline.lk · 8.1% of impressions from ai features, portfolio best 87% of this platform’s AI appearances land on one URL, and Copilot cites an average of 2 pages against 35 on our city-guide property. Because the question is “recommend me a site”, not “what is the answer”. It also takes 20% of its Bing impressions from queries aimed at newspaper classified sections that were the category default for generations.
MatchMaker.lk · 87% of ai appearances on one url A pilgrim guide that is the only source Bing Copilot cites for “velankanni flag hoisting date 2026”, and 84% of citations for the feast itself. It also earns 42,901 clicks at a 3.2% CTR while averaging position 9.1: the clearest proof we have that intent quality, not position, decides what a ranking is worth.
VelankanniShrine.in · 100% copilot citation share on one query A city guide with 3.9M Google impressions, 60,500 generative-AI appearances and 40,101 Bing Copilot citations, and one page pulling 396,968 impressions at a 0.09% click rate while being the single most-quoted page on the site. The clearest evidence we have that page format decides which channel you win.
CoimbatoreJunction.in · 3.9M google search impressions How a deliberately small 26-page Tamil-language site took #1 in Google for “SEO Tamil”, got Alston Antony named inside the AI Overview, and earned 336 Bing Copilot citations, the personal-branding play behind Search Everywhere Optimization.
SEOTamil.com · #1 google for “seo tamil” Search Console and Bing screenshots with the property, filter and window visible, plus a written methodology and the thresholds we chose.
ChatGPT and Gemini have no per-answer export, so they are labelled “not audited” rather than implied. That boundary is the point.
Why 6 case studies and not forty
Because the bar is the raw export, a dated screenshot and a stated methodology, and client work under NDA cannot clear it. Maxinium publishes results from owned properties first, where every number can be checked by anyone. Two of them, MatchMaker.lk and MakeMoneyOnline.lk, were built for and ranked in the Sri Lankan market, and one, ZPlatform, is software. Client results are shared directly, with the client’s permission, on request. Ask for them.

Who does the work
You do not get handed to an account manager or an offshore team. Maxinium is deliberately founder-led: the person who audits your site is the person who does the work and sits on your monthly call. Maxinium is the company; Alston is the practitioner behind it.
15+ years in search, since 2010
Colombo, Sri Lanka · Serving companies worldwide
Founder, Maxinium · SaaS SEO & AI Search Expert
Alston is the founder of Maxinium; his own site, alstonantony.com, is where the full record of his work as a SaaS SEO and AI search expert lives. He started in search in 2010 from Sri Lanka, cashing a $15 cheque at a bank branch that had never processed one. He now serves as Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Brainstorm Force, running full-funnel marketing for AI and WordPress products inside a company whose software powers more than 7 million websites, while running Maxinium from Colombo.
That combination is the point. Most agency operators have never run search for a software company at scale; most in-house SaaS marketers have never had to make a page rank against a category incumbent on someone else's budget. Alston does both every week: the day job is full-funnel marketing for AI and WordPress products, and Maxinium is where the same playbook gets sold.
He has taught more than 30,000 students across 6 courses, published 617 videos in English and Tamil, and operates 16 web properties of his own, including MatchMaker.lk, which outranks the newspaper classified brands that owned its category for generations, and SEOTamil.com, which holds #1 in Google for its category term and is named inside its AI Overview.
