GEO, AEO, AIO & SEO Specialist | Be Visible in Search & AI Overviews
SEO that ignores AI is already outdated. If your brand isn’t showing up in AI Overviews, ChatGPT or Perplexity, you’re losing customers every day. This is the gap I fix. Wondering how to appear in Google’s AIO, Perplexity, ChatGPT or Copilot while still growing classic organic search? I help brands achieve predictable, compounding growth by combining GEO/ ASO strategy with AIO optimisation on top of proven SEO foundations. With 7+ years in SEO across finance, tech, services, e-commerce and travel, I’ve delivered full-stack programmes: technical, on-page, content, internal links, local SEO, citations, link earning, digital PR and reporting. I also optimise for answer engines so your content is selected by AI systems, not just ranked in blue links - making you visible where modern buyers actually look. Here’s a few results I’ve achieved results across industries: Global fashion & heritage brand - scaled from zero online presence to 140,000+ monthly visitors, 400,000+ email subscribers and worldwide media coverage. Global fintech leader Paypal - strengthened search visibility and authority, growing new accounts by 400% through targeted keywords in a highly competitive niche. Leading crypto exchange - boosted domain authority, technical SEO and content optimisation to support growth in a fast-moving market.

I prioritise opportunities that match your authority, audience and market, then outline a step-by-step roadmap covering content, technical SEO, GEO/AIO optimisation and links. Execute & refine - I implement the plan, track results across AIO/GEO visibility, rankings and conversions, and adjust as new opportunities open up.
