SEO Link Builder & GEO Specialist | AI Search Citations

I build the backlinks and brand mentions that get you ranked in Google and cited by AI. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity pull their answers from websites they already trust. Google ranks pages the same way. My job is to get your brand onto those trusted sites, so you show up in both places. I have developed my own GEO tools that scan the top 6 AI platforms weekly with your prompts, so we can get your answers and citations included where AI is looking for them. You’re not just hiring me. You’re hiring me plus the AI tools and agents I’ve built and improve every day. That means lower costs, faster turnaround and more quality links for your budget. I can also build these systems in-house for your team or industry. What link building with me includes (like GEO services) A custom opportunity list built for your brand, covering every site in your niche that matters Competitor backlink analysis to find where they’re getting links and you aren’t Personalized outreach to earn links on relevant, high-traffic sites Full transparency on every link, every cost and every step Why clients work with me I have focused only on off-page SEO/backlinks for 11 years on Upwork. GEO is the same type of work, reaching out to websites to be included in their answers and content. You can read 100+ detailed 5-star reviews on my profile going back more than a decade. Most SEO agencies build “ghost links” that look good in a report but do nothing for your traffic or revenue. I only build links from niche-related sites that get real search traffic, that also influence AI. If Google sends them visitors, we know Google trusts them. I regularly earn links from colleges and other high-authority sites that can’t be bought. What GEO (AI search) work with me includes Testing the questions your buyers actually ask AI tools and recording who gets cited today Finding the specific pages and domains AI models pull from in your niche Earning links and mentions on those sources Re-checking citations on a regular schedule so you can see your progress Links and GEO aren’t separate projects. The same authority signals that move you up in Google are the ones that make AI models more likely to cite and recommend your brand. What you’re really paying for You’re paying for experience: knowing which links to avoid, because bad links can hurt your rankings and waste your money. You’re paying for my industry connections, my AI tools and data costs, and the most thorough link opportunity list you’ll get anywhere. Depending on how your website is built and hosted, I may be able to help with on-page SEO as well. Send me a message with your website and goals, and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit.
