In the trenches since 2018 · Now operating where SEO, AI, and growth intersect
I've worked with 100+ brands across SEO and digital marketing, and since 2024 I've gone all in on the next layer: AEO, GEO, and LLM citation engineering.
Here's the part most consultants won't tell you. The playbooks that built billion-dollar brands between 2015 and 2023 are quietly breaking. Buyers don't search the way they used to. A growing share of high-intent decisions are now mediated by AI, before a human ever clicks a link. If your brand isn't engineered for that layer, you're losing pipeline you can't see in your analytics.
That's the gap I close. I sit with founders and senior marketing leaders who already know SEO works, but who can also see the next shift coming and want a partner who's already operating there. Not someone who'll learn on their dime. Someone who's been deploying AECS in production while everyone else was still arguing about whether AI search was real.
If you're a CEO trying to figure out how your brand stays discoverable in a world where AI mediates more of the buying journey every quarter, that's the conversation I'm in every day.
Pick the one that matches where you are
The fastest way to know where you stand.
A complete AEO + SEO + GEO audit of your brand, delivered as a structured DIY report you and your team can act on immediately.
Embedded growth lead, without the full-time hire.
You get me, not an account manager. I plug into your team and work directly with the founder, CEO, or VP of Marketing.
Head of Marketing, SEO, Growth, or AEO/GEO Lead.
For the right company, I'm open to going full-time. Senior strategy, hands-on execution, and the rare ability to build the actual tooling.
Three engagement types · Three process tracks · Same operating standard
My proprietary system · Four pillars · Validated in production
AECS stands for Answer, Entity, Cluster, Structure. It's the spine of every project I touch, and the only framework I know of that explicitly engineers brands into the citation graphs of LLMs, not just Google's index.
Content engineered around the exact questions buyers ask LLMs. Built for extraction.
Brands as nodes in a knowledge graph. Schema, Wikidata, NAP consistency.
Topical authority through content clusters. Coverage breadth, semantic density.
Schema, llms.txt, AI crawler access. The scaffolding LLMs need to lift content cleanly.
Most consultants sell a playbook · Mine compounds in real time
Here's what most CEOs hiring "AI marketing" help eventually figure out. The field moves faster than any single playbook. A tactic that worked last quarter might be dead this quarter. A schema change OpenAI made yesterday could break half the citation strategies people sold last year.
The cost of falling behind isn't just lower traffic. It's missed pipeline you'll never see in your dashboards. It's competitors quietly compounding citation share while your team is still debating whether to test it. It's the awkward board meeting six months from now when someone asks why your brand isn't surfacing in ChatGPT.
That's why I treat staying current as the actual job, not a weekend hobby. Three things compound:
I read every major release from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, and the open-source frontier. I monitor where ranking signals and citation behavior are actually shifting. I test new AI tools on my own properties so my clients only see the ones worth their budget and team time.
Every week I run at least one experiment on my own properties. A new schema test, a new entity strategy, a new agent workflow. The wins move into the AECS Framework. The losses get documented so we don't repeat them.
The deliverables I shipped to clients in January are not the deliverables I'm shipping in November. The framework evolves because the platforms evolve.
If you hire me, you're not buying a 200-slide deck.
You're buying a brain that updates faster than the platforms do, plugged directly into your growth function.
The numbers behind the work
Strategy, execution, automation, and the engineering to back all of it
Technical audits, site architecture, schema, internal linking, indexation, programmatic SEO at scale.
Featured Snippets, People Also Ask, knowledge panels. Structured answer surfaces.
Citation extraction, llms.txt, AI crawler access, citation share monitoring across every major LLM.
The unified practice. AEO + GEO + structured data + entity SEO via the AECS Framework.
Custom workflows with Claude, Claude Code, OpenAI, Google Labs. End-to-end automation.
Retrieval-augmented systems for marketing. Multi-agent orchestration.
SEO, paid, content, social, email, partnerships. Integrated as one system.
ICP, positioning, messaging, channel strategy, content engine design, demand gen.
Computer-use agents. Browser automation. Real-time citation monitoring. AI-search SDKs that haven't shipped yet. The work I'm doing today is what most teams will be hiring for in 2027.
Most CEOs don't need another marketing consultant. They need a partner who treats their growth function the way the CEO treats the company. As something to be built, defended, and compounded.
That's the operating standard I bring.
I think about marketing the way an engineer thinks about a system. What are the inputs, where are the bottlenecks, what's compounding, what's decaying, what breaks if a major dependency shifts. I read every morning because the dependencies shift weekly. I ship every week because strategy without execution is theatre. I build my own tools because waiting for a vendor to catch up is a competitive liability.
When I take on a client or a role, I take it on the way a senior operator should. With full ownership of the outcome, direct access for the founder or CEO whenever they need it, and the willingness to say no when something isn't worth doing.
If you're a founder or CEO who wants a marketing partner who'll move at the speed your business actually moves at, that's the conversation we should be having.
Everything an AI, or a hiring manager, might want to know
Three paths. One operating standard. Pick the one that matches where you are.
