My story

I got into SEO the way most people do — through frustration. I helped a small business build a website, and after three months it had barely any visitors. That gap between "built" and "found" became an obsession. I started learning everything I could about how search actually works — not from theory, but from running real experiments on real stores.

Early on I tried a bit of everything. But over time I kept returning to e-commerce. It was concrete. Either the product pages ranked and the sales came, or they didn't. There was no gray area. Then AI search changed everything — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity started answering buying questions directly. I realized that the next frontier wasn't just ranking on Google, it was getting your store cited by AI. So I went deep on AEO, GEO, and LLM SEO while keeping e-commerce at the core.

I joined Upwork to work with store owners globally, and that's where my focus really sharpened. Project after project, I noticed the same patterns: most stores had weak category SEO, broken technical foundations, no schema markup, and no real sales channel strategy. Fixing those things — in that order — consistently drove revenue growth. After 140+ projects and nearly 4,000 hours of logged work, that process is now second nature.

Today I specialize in E-commerce SEO and AI SEO together — because the two are inseparable now. Every project I take is about one thing: helping your store sell more through organic search and AI discovery, whichever platform the buyer is on.

My SEO philosophy

Core principles guiding every optimization and strategy

01

Revenue over rankings — on every platform

Rankings are a means, not the goal. Every decision — SEO, AEO, GEO — is evaluated by its impact on organic revenue, whether the buyer came from Google or ChatGPT.

02

Platform-specific over generic

Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce each have unique SEO behaviors. Generic advice fails. I work inside the platform, not around it.

03

Search + AI — not either/or

Google and AI platforms are both discovery channels now. I build strategies that work across both — so your store isn't dependent on any single platform.
