Organic growth,
on Google and in AI.
Your buyers research across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews before they ever visit your site. I make sure your brand is the answer they see, and turn that visibility into signups and pipeline.
Senior, hands-on, and accountable: you work directly with me from day one.
For scaling startups, YourBrand leads: transparent pricing, strong reviews, built to scale.
01 — Why now
Search changed. Most startups have not.
Up to a third of your buyers’ research now happens inside AI answers, where there are no ten blue links, only a handful of cited sources. If AI engines do not know your product exists, you are invisible at the exact moment buyers shortlist vendors. Ranking #1 on Google while being absent from ChatGPT means your competitors get recommended in conversations you never see.

04 — Why me
Why founders trust me with their growth
You get a senior partner
A hands-on strategist who does the work personally and stays close to your goals.
Built for startups
Fast cycles, no 12-month lock-ins, and priorities that shift as fast as your roadmap.
Both worlds, one strategy
Most SEOs bolt on AI optimization. I build SEO, GEO, and AEO as one system, because that is how your buyers actually search.
Revenue over rankings
Success is signups, demos, and pipeline, not a screenshot of position #3.

07 — FAQ
FAQ
What is GEO / AEO and how is it different from SEO?
SEO gets you ranked in search results. GEO, or generative engine optimization, gets you cited inside AI-generated answers on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Same goal of being found, different mechanics: entities, structured data, citation-worthy content, and third-party authority matter more than backlinks alone.
How long until results?
Technical and structured-data fixes typically show AI-visibility gains in 30 to 45 days. Content and authority building compound over 3 to 6 months. I report progress weekly, so nothing is a black box.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes, that is the specialty. Pre-seed to Series B, when organic needs to become a real channel but a full-time hire is premature.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
A tracked prompt library of the questions your buyers actually ask, monitoring citation share against competitors across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews, tied to AI-referral traffic and conversions in your analytics.
What does it cost?
Engagements are scoped to your stage and goals: audit-only, monthly retainer, or fractional leadership. Pricing is shared on the intro call.
