SEO is no longer just about ranking in the traditional “10 blue links.” The search landscape is shifting toward AI-generated results (e.g., Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) and zero-click searches. This demands strategies that go beyond old practices. For both established and early-stage websites, the goal is to combine advanced on-page, off-page, and technical SEO with outreach that builds authority, earns citations, and increases inclusion in AI-generated summaries.

- Perform advanced technical SEO audits quarterly (crawlability, site architecture, CWV, schema, indexing)
- Conduct monthly keyword research and build the SEO editorial calendar
- Review and optimize all new content before publishing (titles, headings, meta, schema, interlinking)
- Improve internal linking strategy to maximize authority flow
- Oversee outreach campaigns to secure backlinks and AI citation opportunities (critical for E-E-A-T and AI trust)
