GEO & AI Search

SEO for AI search, too.

Google's own guidance says optimizing for AI Overviews and AI Mode is still SEO, so I approach it the same way: crawlable pages, accurate facts, clear authorship and structured data, plus the off-site mentions that AI tools draw on when they answer.

Common Questions

Questions about working with me.

Service businesses, B2B brands, ecommerce stores, law firms and healthcare providers that are already generating revenue, plus working professionals building side income. The common thread is a website that should bring in more business than it does today.
Yes. I'm open to senior technical SEO and GEO roles, contract or full-time. I do the hands-on work as well as the strategy. If you're building a team or need embedded SEO leadership, get in touch through the contact page or download my CV.
GEO (generative engine optimization) means making a brand visible and accurately described in AI answers: Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. Google says optimizing for its AI features is still SEO, so the work builds on the same base: crawlable pages, accurate facts, clear authorship and structured data. Since June 2026, Search Console also reports impressions in Google's AI features.
Technical fixes sometimes show up within days: McGrocer's sessions rose 30%+ within 72 hours of Core Web Vitals fixes. Rankings for competitive terms take months, and Joint Power Security's full results came over 18 months. I'll tell you what's realistic for your situation before any work starts.
Fully remote. I work from Los Angeles and have delivered work for clients in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Wyoming and the UK. I'm set up for async collaboration across time zones, so the work runs the same wherever you are.
Every engagement starts with a technical audit: crawling, Core Web Vitals, keyword opportunities, competitors and the conversion path. From there I build a roadmap ranked by impact, with clear milestones. Month one fixes what's broken before anything new gets built, and reporting starts from leads and revenue.
Businesses: request a free website audit, and I'll show you what's broken, what it's costing you and what fixing it involves. Employers and contract inquiries: download my CV and get in touch through the contact page. Professionals building side income: book a free strategy session. All three cost nothing and commit you to nothing.
