Client Overview
Yetipay is a UK payment technology brand offering payment tools for small businesses, including card machines, payment links, pay-at-table functionality and related payment services.
The business operates in a finance-adjacent space, where organic performance depends on more than standard SEO hygiene. Google needs to clearly understand the brand, trust the domain, recognise the correct entity, and see that core commercial and advice content is credible, useful and properly supported.
What the Client Needed
Yetipay needed a basic SEO audit after a complex brand and website history had created significant organic visibility issues. The business had originally operated as TableYeti before rebranding to Yetipay in late 2023.
The site then went through several major changes including a move to a new domain, WordPress/Elementor rebuild, staging domain setup, a shift between www and non-www, a Webflow rebuild, and later a return to the non-www version. Following these changes, the client saw a sharp decline in search impressions and stopped ranking reliably for its own brand term.
“Google appeared uncertain about which entity, domain and URL should represent the Yetipay brand — a separate Polish website using a similar brand name appeared to have a stronger association.”
Key audit finding
The Challenge
The main challenge was that Google appeared uncertain about which entity, domain and URL should represent the Yetipay brand. The audit found a complicated migration history involving the legacy TableYeti domain, the newer Yetipay domain, www and non-www versions, subdomains, staging URLs and changes in website platform.
A further issue was brand ambiguity — a separate Polish website using a similar brand name appeared to have a stronger association for “Yetipay” searches. Google's AI Overview appeared to cite Yetipay information but pull the wrong logo from the Polish brand.
The domain itself was also weak — many links were legacy from TableYeti or low-value, and direct links to the current Yetipay domain were limited.
“There was no single 'one-click' technical fix. The problem appeared to be the result of accumulated instability: rebrand, legacy domain remnants, redirect chains, www switching, weak link equity and possible entity confusion.”
Key finding from the audit
The Goal
The goal was to diagnose the root causes of brand visibility instability and provide clear recommendations. The audit needed to answer:
- Was the TableYeti to Yetipay migration handled correctly?
- Were legacy URLs and domains still causing confusion?
- Were www and non-www changes creating index instability?
- Was Google associating the wrong brand/entity with "Yetipay"?
- Was the site too weak from a link and authority perspective?
- Were core commercial pages too thin to perform?
- Was advice content being discovered, indexed and understood properly?
- What should be fixed first to help Yetipay regain brand and non-brand visibility?
What We Did
We carried out a basic SEO audit across Yetipay, covering brand visibility, migration history, technical SEO, content performance and link profile. The audit included:
A key recommendation was to add Organisation structured data to the homepage to help Google better understand Yetipay as a distinct brand entity.
What Was Achieved
The audit gave Yetipay a clearer diagnosis of why brand visibility had become unstable. It showed the problem was accumulated instability: rebrand from TableYeti, legacy domain remnants, redirect chains, www switching, weak link equity, limited brand authority, thin commercial pages, and possible entity confusion.
The audit identified that content performance was very weak — advice articles generated impressions but little traffic. The “load more” setup on the advice section could limit article discovery.
Several navigation and feature pages were too thin and needed more substance, clearer search targeting and dedicated landing pages.
