Xaviour Raymond
@xaviourraymond
I’m an SEO & GEO content specialist who ranks, converts, and earns AI citations through strategy-led editorial.
What I'm looking for
I’m a content marketing and SEO writing specialist with 3+ years building full-funnel editorial programmes that rank and convert for young, fast-moving audiences. I pair keyword research and search intent mapping with genuinely useful on-page SEO content to drive measurable organic growth.
I grew organic traffic and keyword rankings by 40% by owning keyword-led editorial programming, running ongoing content audits to consolidate thin content, and maintaining SEO fundamentals like meta titles, meta descriptions, header structure, internal linking, and crawlability. I also built KPI dashboards in GA4 and HubSpot to track content performance and set editorial priorities with data.
I’m increasingly focused on GEO—how content earns citations in AI answer engines and AI-generated search answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot)—and I integrate AI tools into research and production workflows without sacrificing editorial quality or brand voice. From long-form guides to comparison pieces and landing page copy, I deliver consistently in a fast-moving, scrappy environment while also leading backlink strategy and digital PR outreach.
