What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior SEO Manager with 10+ years across technical SEO, content strategy, and organic growth, now focused on AI Search (GEO/AEO). I make brands visible and citable inside ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity—not just Google—using schema, entity architecture, and intent-driven content.
I ship the work myself end-to-end, because I come from 22 years in web development. From WordPress FSE and Astro to Core Web Vitals and performance fixes, I run SEO build and automation with Claude Code and n8n, measuring results via organic traffic, ranked keywords, and visibility that turns into business outcomes (including +700% organic traffic and 34,000+ keywords).
