Top Rated Plus SEO Specialist | AI Search & Answer Engine Optimization

Search is changing — over 60% of Google searches now end without a click, and a growing share of buyers are getting their answers directly from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews instead of a results page. I help businesses stay visible in that shift by combining solid SEO fundamentals with the newer disciplines of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — making sure your content is the one AI systems choose to cite. What I do: • Audit sites for AI crawler access (many sites unknowingly block GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and others in robots.txt) • Add and optimize structured data (FAQ, HowTo, Article schema) to improve extraction • Restructure content so answers are clear, direct, and citation-ready near the top of the page • Strengthen E-E-A-T signals (author credibility, sourcing, statistics) that AI models weigh when choosing what to cite • Track visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews I'm early in my freelance journey but not early in the work — I run these audits and optimizations on real sites before I ever pitch them, so what you see in my portfolio is tested, not theoretical. I'm honest about what AI visibility tools can and can't guarantee: no one can promise placement in AI answers, but the technical and content fundamentals that improve your odds are well understood, and that's what I deliver.
