AI SEO Expert | GEO Specialist | AEO Optimization | LLM Search

I'm an AEO and GEO optimization specialist with 10 years' experience in SEO content. I plan and write content that gets cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews as well as ranking in traditional search. Whether clients find you by AI or Google, my job is to write content that turns your visibility into leads and sales. (UK English/US English) Major client traffic and AI wins include (AI citation figures: Google AI / ChatGPT / Perplexity): • 6,150%: direct marketing firm (7/4/2) • 2,000%: document scanning firm (7/5/1) • 2,800%: personal legal services firm (513/29/16) • 650%: local gas fitting company (0/3/0) • 265%: architect (75/6/7) • 140%: business finance company (97/116/23) • 85%: serviced office provider (102/31/29) (AI statistics from Ahrefs, February 2026. Results from a combination of my work and existing client authority) AI CONTENT WRITING SERVICE Key content types: articles, website content, landing pages, case studies I get to know your customer and their pain points, linking the features of your products and services back to the solutions they're looking for. My aim is sticky content that explains, builds trust, and converts. I structure the content so it has the features that AI tools look for when citing sources, like TL;DRs, FAQs, transparent sourcing, and schema markup. I optimize keyword and topic coverage in SurferSEO and simplify sentence structure in Hemingway for clarity and readability. All content passes Copyleaks AI detection as 100% human-written. AI SEO & GEO STRATEGY SERVICE Key skills: content audits, keyword research, competitor analysis, funnels, topic planning, content architecture, AI citation tracking If you have the right skillset, getting traffic from Google is not hard. Getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews is harder. It's a brand new technology. The rules are changing all the time but they're beginning to settle down. I keep an eye on the latest developments to apply what actually works to your content. The fundamentals of creating a great website still apply: understanding your customer, finding the terms they search when they're ready to act, and building content that earns trust. AI just adds another important layer. What you get from me is a prioritized roadmap you can execute in-house or hand to me to write. CREDENTIALS Half of my work comes through agencies, like Siege Media, Contently, Croud, Compose.ly, Grizzle, Growth Machine, SwitchJam, and Omniscient. The rest is direct client work, mostly SMEs across UK, US, and Australia. High-profile clients (direct and indirect) include Zoom, QuickBooks, LegalZoom, Pipedrive, Backd, Certa, Jeeves, RS Components, Intuit, Capita, and Universal. I have over 250 by-lined articles on Businessdotcom, BusinessNewsDaily, and Entrepreneurdotcom. I have a database of 1,000+ live articles you can view. Let me know about the type of samples you want to see and I'll happily share them. KEY SECTORS Industries I work with the most include SaaS, finance, legal, property, professional services, and accounting. WORKING WITH ME You'll get plain English briefs and regular updates from me. I never miss deadlines and don't need much managing. AI/AEO/SEO strategy and planning: start with a call to understand your goals, customers, and what you've done up until now. Within a week, you'll get back a full audit and a prioritized roadmap you can hand straight to your team (or I can work from). AI/AEO/SEO writing: I can write the brief or work to yours. I'll deliver a first draft by the agreed date, and include two revision rounds as standard. I'm UK-based, fine working to U.S. time zones and I normally respond within a day. TOOLS SEO: Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console AI/GEO: Ahrefs AI citation tracking, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude Content: SurferSEO, Clearscope, Grammarly, Hemingway CMS: WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace Other: Google Docs, Canva, Mailchimp, HubSpot NEXT STEP Have a look at my portfolio for results and case studies.
