SEO in 60 Seconds
Quick SEO and AI search tips and tricks, experiments from my agency, and free resources and templates you can steal.
Consultant access. Agency depth. Both, together.
Most businesses choose between a consultant (one brain, direct access) or an agency (a full team, filtered through account managers). Working with me gives you both.
My focus is AI search visibility: making sure your brand gets cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot alongside traditional Google rankings.
