Ranking high in Google and Bing results: keyword research, technical work on your site, and content and links that get you to page one.
What is SEO? →Service · Organic Search
I'm not an agency — I'm an SEO practitioner who ranks his own sites first: e-commerce, content, and affiliate properties across EU & US markets that have earned millions of users.
Organic search in Google is one of my core acquisition channels — but today your customers aren't just typing into Google, they're asking ChatGPT and Perplexity too. So I work in three layers: SEO for search results, AEO for answers, and GEO for AI engines.
Three layers of organic search
Your customers aren't just typing into Google anymore — they're asking questions and getting answers. Professional organic search now needs to cover all three layers:

Ranking high in Google and Bing results: keyword research, technical work on your site, and content and links that get you to page one.
What is SEO? →
Winning the answer itself, not just the click: content built around real customer questions, with structured data that gets you into Featured Snippets and Google's People Also Ask.
What is AEO? →
Getting ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews to cite your business in their answer — wording models choose to quote, and presence in the sources they read.
What is GEO? →What's included
Professional organic search rests on three legs — technical work, content, and links. Here's what that looks like in practice, including a topical-authority approach to content:
Keyword research by volume, competition, and intent, alongside mapping the questions your customers ask AI engines — building a content map targeted at phrases that bring customers, not just traffic.
Site fundamentals: load speed, Core Web Vitals, URL structure, structured data, and clean indexing in Google, Bing, and the crawlers behind AI engines.
SEO content built around the keyword map — service pages, articles, and product pages — written to rank in Google and to be cited by AI engines, using a topical-authority approach: covering a subject in enough depth and breadth that both search engines and AI models treat you as a credible source.
Building a clean link profile that strengthens your domain over time — the authority both Google and AI engines lean on — without shortcuts that risk a penalty.
SEO for WordPress sites, Shopify stores, and e-commerce platforms — category architecture, product pages, and filters that search engines can actually read.
Organic growth across EU & US markets: research in the target language, hreflang, and content adapted per market — the same playbook I run on my own sites.
With an independent SEO consultant, strategy and execution sit with one person who knows your business in depth — not split between an account manager, a content writer, and a link builder who never talk to each other.
And most importantly: I don't recommend tactics I read about in a blog post. Everything I suggest is tested first on sites I own — what works stays, what doesn't gets dropped.
A look at where things stand today: how the site reads to Google and AI engines, technical health, existing content, link profile, and competitors — plus full keyword research.
Prioritized by impact: what to fix on the site, what content to build and in what order — with measurable targets.
Technical fixes, content, and link building — solo or alongside your team, whichever fits how you work.
Tracking rankings, traffic, and conversions — and how you show up in AI-engine answers — with a clear report on what moved and why.
SEO — Search Engine Optimization — is the process of getting your site onto the first page of Google and other search engines without paying for clicks. It combines technical site work, content that answers what people are searching for, and links that build the domain's authority.
AEO is optimization for answer engines: the goal isn't just to appear in the results list, but to win the answer itself — in Google's Featured Snippets, in People Also Ask, and in voice assistants. In practice, that means building content around real customer questions, answering them directly and concisely, and marking pages with structured data search engines can read.
GEO is optimization for AI-powered search engines: making sure that when a customer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google's AI Overviews a question in your space, your business shows up in the answer and gets cited as a source. GEO builds on SEO fundamentals — a healthy site, authoritative content, structured data — and adds wording models choose to quote, presence in the sources they read, and tracking how your brand shows up in answers.
More than ever — the field just got bigger. AI engines don't invent answers from nothing: they lean on the same sites Google already ranks highly, so solid SEO work is the entry ticket for AEO and GEO too. Skip organic search today and you simply won't show up — not in search results, and not in AI answers.
Paid search (Google Ads) delivers results immediately but stops the moment you stop paying. Organic search takes time and work, but builds an asset: traffic that keeps arriving without a media budget, and a cost per lead that drops over time. For most businesses the right mix is both — paid for the short term, organic for the long term.
SEO consulting pricing varies widely by competitiveness and scope — typically from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars a month. I don't work off a fixed price sheet: after a short audit of your site and competitors, I scope work and budget to match your goals, always starting with whatever will move the needle most.
You'll usually see initial ranking movement within a few weeks to three months, and meaningful business results within four to eight months — depending on competition, domain age, and the site's current state. Be wary of anyone promising a first-page ranking within a month.
Yes — and small businesses sometimes have the advantage: focusing on a niche or a specific region lets you beat bigger competitors. SEO for small businesses starts with focused, high-intent phrases and expands from there as the site builds authority.
At a large SEO agency, your site is one of dozens of accounts run to a template. An independent SEO consultant works with you directly: strategy, execution, and accountability sit with one person. I add one more layer — I rank my own sites first, so what I recommend is what already works for me in practice.
Send me your site's URL and I'll come back with an initial read — where you stand today, and what's worth fixing first.
