Budget
The initial platform was developed as a single-page React application, which meant it couldn’t be properly indexed by search engines, severely limiting SEO visibility and blocking organic growth.

We addressed these challenges by designing and implementing a scalable platform built around automation, compliance, and SEO performance. The new system automatically generated storefront content using large language models, pulling structured data from the UK Companies House to produce company descriptions, product highlights, and catalog copy.
To develop scalable platform built around automation, compliance, and SEO performance, Blackthorn AI applied a production-grade tech stack including:
