AI Search and Semantic SEO Consultant - GEO, AEO, EEAT, Technical SEO

Your next client isn't just searching Google. They're asking ChatGPT. They're reading Perplexity AI. They're landing on AI-generated answer blocks where your website used to appear. Search visibility has fundamentally changed — and most SEO consultants are still running the same playbook from three years ago. I've spent the last 8 years watching that shift happen in real time, and I've spent the last two building strategies specifically designed for what search looks like now. I specialize in Semantic SEO and Generative Engine Optimization — helping businesses stay visible not just in traditional search results, but in the AI-generated answers that are increasingly where buying decisions begin. I hold a Master's in Data Science and come from a software engineering background, which means I approach SEO the way search engines and large language models actually process content — through entities, semantic relationships, and topical authority structures, not keyword density and backlink volume. Top Rated on Upwork · $60K+ earned · US & EU clients Here's the honest version of what makes my work different. Most SEO consultants are generalists working across ten industries at once, outsourcing execution, and delivering templated reports that could have been written for anyone. I work with a focused set of clients in competitive, high-stakes industries. I don't outsource. I don't use templates. Every engagement starts with a genuine diagnostic — a clear-eyed audit of what's actually suppressing your visibility, not what's easiest to fix. Technical debt, semantic gaps, entity coverage, AI citation readiness — all of it on the table before a single recommendation is made. My Data Science background also lets me do things that most SEO consultants genuinely can't: Python-automated audits, predictive keyword opportunity modeling, statistical gap analysis across content architectures. It sounds technical because it is — but what it means for you is faster, deeper, and more accurate work than manual processes allow. You might be a good fit if: You're publishing content consistently but not ranking for the terms that actually drive revenue. Your domain has authority and backlinks but zero presence in AI-generated answers. You've accumulated SEO tech debt that's quietly bleeding crawl budget and suppressing indexation. Your content exists but lacks the topical depth, entity coverage, and structured data signals needed to be cited by AI models. You've invested in SEO before and struggled to connect it to actual business outcomes. If any of that lands — that's exactly the work I do. What I deliver: Semantic SEO & topical authority architecture · Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) · Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) · Google AI Overviews optimization · Entity-based SEO · Schema markup & structured data · E-E-A-T optimization · Technical SEO audits · Core Web Vitals · Internal linking & content architecture · Keyword clustering & cannibalization analysis · Google Business Profile · Local SEO · CRO · Python-automated SEO workflows · GA4 & GSC analysis A quick word on what I don't do: I don't guarantee first-page rankings in 30 days. I don't sell backlink packages. I'm not the right fit for every project, and I'd rather tell you that upfront than take work that isn't a genuine match. If you need cheap and fast, there are plenty of options on this platform. If you need rigorous, transparent, and built to actually last — I'm your person. 👉 Click Invite and tell me your biggest SEO challenge — where you're stuck, what you've already tried, what's not working. I'll respond within one business day with a straight answer and a concrete initial direction. No pitch. No upsell.
