About Me

Most of my career has been inside product-led SaaS startups.

Small teams. Limited content marketing budgets. High pressure to show results. No room for spending money on content that doesn't perform.

That environment shaped how I work. I tie every tactic to visibility and user signups, not vanity metrics, not "brand awareness," and certainly not content for the sake of it.

My work spans:

  • SEO, content, and organic growth strategy

  • AI search optimization (AEO, GEO, LLMs)

  • Content and site architecture

  • Search intent and funnel alignment

  • Thought leadership content and case studies

  • Founder-led LinkedIn posts, Reddit posts, and content distribution

  • Content systems and editorial operations

Getting Found Is Getting Harder

When founders and marketing leads come to me, they usually say something along the lines of:

  • “Most of our users come from ads or one channel we don’t control.”

  • “Our content brings in a bit of traffic but almost no signups.”

  • “ChatGPT used to mention us. Now it recommends our competitors.”

  • “Our CEO (or our clients) keep asking about AI search, and we don’t have a clear answer.”

  • “We know SEO compounds. We just don’t have the time or the team to do it properly.”

The usual response is to just post more.

Yet that’s how sites end up with hundreds of pages that rank for nothing and get cited by no one (worse, it actually makes it harder to show up on search engines and LLMs).

That's where I step in.

What’s usually missing is the groundwork: knowing which searches lead to paying users, which page should own each one, and a way to keep publishing without quality slipping.
