The Challenge

The template kept breaking, so the team stopped touching it.

Blueflame AI builds agentic AI for investment firms: private equity houses, hedge funds and investment banks. The first job we took on was a small one. A template that kept breaking, and a marketing team that had stopped editing the site in case it broke further.

The work continued through a full redesign, the Datasite acquisition in July 2025, a Webflow Enterprise upgrade in January 2026 and a rebrand onto a new domain. Each change brought new website priorities.

Selling into private equity and investment banking raises the bar again. Those buyers run their own diligence before they agree to a call, so the credentials the company already held had to sit where a buyer looks rather than wait to be searched for.

The Solution

One system, built once and extended since.

Webflow Enterprise, Set Up Properly

The site moved onto the Webflow Enterprise plan in January 2026, with Optimize and Analyze switched on. Publishing a high-traffic enterprise site stays a deliberate human step: every CMS change we make is staged or drafted first, and the client team publishes.

A Component System Marketing Owns

Pages are assembled from a component library we built once and have extended ever since. The marketing team builds and edits without a developer in the loop, using page branching so the work happens safely on a live enterprise site.

Instrumentation Checked, Not Assumed

The measurement layer gets audited the same way the site does. Search Console was pointed at a hostname nobody lands on. Three of four conversion actions had recorded nothing for thirteen weeks. Eleven standing permissions were letting the ad platform change bidding on its own. All three were found and closed.

The Outcome

Eighteen months, one report format, no gaps.

Continuity Through Every Change

The company was acquired by Datasite and rebranded onto a new domain during this engagement. The site kept shipping through all of it, and the monthly report has held the same format for eighteen months.

Organic Visits Up 77%

Organic search visits rose from 7,574 to 13,388, comparing September to November 2024 with June to August 2026. That growth held through the Datasite acquisition, a full redesign and a move to a new domain.

Visits From AI Assistants Up 58%

Visits arriving from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude rose from 742 in January to August 2025 to 1,173 in the same months of 2026. AI citations are tracked monthly against named competitors.

Mobile Performance score improved from 36 to 72

On 13 February 2026, our Lighthouse checks measured a mobile Performance score of 36 before the work and 72 afterwards. Page weight fell from 2,458KB to 1,231KB. These are dated lab measurements; the score does not mean the site became twice as fast.

Structured Data Errors, 32 to 1

One crawl counted 32 errors in the site's structured data. The next counted one. Search and AI engines only read the markup they are given, so it gets checked on a schedule instead of being left to drift.
