AI Search (GEO/AEO) & Technical SEO Expert | RAG Chatbots, WordPress

I get your brand found and cited by AI search engines "ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews," not just ranked on page one. I'm an AI Search (GEO/AEO) and technical SEO specialist who also builds RAG chatbots and fast WordPress/Shopify sites, so the visibility I create turns into real customers. Search is changing. Buyers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI for a shortlist before they ever click on a website. If your brand isn't in those answers, you're invisible to them โ€” no matter how well you rank. I help businesses show up, get cited, and win that traffic, with the same technical SEO and web foundation that have always mattered. With a background in Informatics and Machine Learning, I work across the full stack of modern visibility: getting cited in AI answers, ranking in classic search, and building the AI tools and websites that convert. โœ… What I Do: - AI Search Optimization (GEO/AEO): Get your content cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
