In The Field
Who I Am
01
I have spent 9 years helping businesses grow through search, across 12 industries and more than 300 projects. If you are looking to hire an SEO consultant or a remote SEO specialist, this is what I do: technical SEO, on-page work, local SEO, content strategy, link building, and structured data. Not as a checkbox exercise, but as a system built around your actual business goals.
I also work in AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), making sure brands show up in AI-generated answers on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, not just on traditional search results. This is where the next wave of search traffic is coming from, and most SEO people are still catching up to it.
Beyond SEO, I have built around 30 WordPress websites for clients across different sectors. I have led writers, developers, and designers across live campaigns. Whether you need a freelance SEO expert for a quick project or a remote SEO manager who runs the whole thing long-term, I own it from day 1 to the final report.

Why Hire Me and Not Someone Else
04
Revenue focused
Revenue, not just traffic.
Most people in SEO celebrate a traffic spike. I celebrate when the phone rings, the booking form fills, or the product sells. Traffic with no business outcome means the strategy is broken.
Future ready
Google and AI search, both.
I build visibility for traditional Google rankings and AI-generated answers at the same time. Brands I work with show up on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and SGE, not just 10 blue links.
No copy-paste
12 industries, 0 recycled playbooks.
Whether you need a local SEO expert for a single market or a technical SEO strategist for a complex national site, the approach is always built from scratch. Law firms, escape rooms, B2B manufacturing, luxury travel, childcare, dental. Every 1 had a different buyer.
Team player
I run teams, not just tasks.
Hiring a remote SEO specialist who can also manage your content team is rare. I have coordinated writers, developers, and designers across live campaigns. I set the standard and stay close to the output until it is right.
Full stack
SEO, web, 1 person.
When you hire a WordPress SEO expert who also handles strategy and execution, you cut out a lot of back and forth. I do both, which means fewer handoffs, fewer gaps, and a cleaner outcome for your business.
Verifiable
Every number has receipts.
The results in this CV come from Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Analytics, and Search Console. If you want to see the data behind any claim, say the word and I will pull it up right now.
