SEO, GEO, and AEO

In the era of AI, search visibility programs are crucial for every business.

Combining traditional SEO, with Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) ensures that content ranks in Google, but also that it surfaces in AI Overviews and gets cited by tools like Claude and ChatGPT.

My work integrates technical optimization, editorial strategy, SEO-informed UX, and content workflows built for how people actually search today: through search engines, AI chatbots, and voice assistants like Siri or Alexa.

My Approach as an SEO, GEO, and AEO Expert


​​Technical SEO That Builds a Strong Foundation


Strong rankings start with strong structure. I collaborate with developers, designers, and product teams to embed SEO into a website’s architecture rather than layering it on afterward.


My technical SEO work includes:

  • Metadata and schema strategy

  • Site structure and taxonomy planning

  • URL hierarchy and clean architecture

  • Accessibility best practices

  • Internal linking systems

  • SEO QA during website redesigns and new feature launches


​Across multiple website redesigns, I've ensured SEO is built into the infrastructure, content templates, and publishing workflows, rather than treated as an afterthought.


Editorial SEO That Strengthens Content Quality​

As both an SEO expert and a seasoned content strategist, I specialize in optimizing editorial systems to produce content that ranks, resonates, and converts.


My editorial SEO process includes:

  • Keyword research and search intent analysis

  • Content briefs for writers

  • On-page SEO optimization

  • Heading structure and scannability improvements

  • Metadata writing and refinement

  • Updating or rewriting evergreen content

  • Strengthening narratives for both humans and search engines


​At XPRIZE, I reviewed all blogs and editorial content before publication, ensuring they met SEO standards and aligned with organizational goals.


Optimizing for AI Search: GEO and AEO

Search increasingly ends before a click ever happens. I build content and technical structures designed to be seen in the zero-click search landscape: getting cited, summarized, and surfaced by generative and answer engines, even if no click follows.


My GEO and AEO work includes:


  • Structuring content for extractability (clear answers, definitions, and summaries AI can lift cleanly)

  • Schema markup that signals authoritative, machine-readable answers

  • Writing for citation (content that AI tools trust enough to quote and attribute)

  • Monitoring brand visibility in AI Overviews, generative AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT, and AI-powered search engines like Perplexity

  • Aligning traditional keyword strategy with conversational, question-based search intent, including zero-click queries


Strategic Content Architecture​

Great SEO, GEO, and AEO depends on clear structure. I partner with design, UX, and dev teams to ensure content is organized in ways that maximize discoverability and user pathways.


This includes:

  • Building scalable content models in headless CMS platforms

  • Creating navigation systems informed by SEO and user behavior

  • Unifying categories, tags, and taxonomies

  • Designing templates that support both editorial needs and SEO performance


​This approach ensures that new content naturally fits into the site ecosystem and continues to grow visibility over time.


Performance Analysis & Continuous Optimization

As a digital marketing director, I monitor SEO performance not just for rankings but for impact across the full marketing ecosystem.


I analyze:

  • Organic traffic trends

  • Year-over-year growth

  • Keyword ranking shifts

  • Engagement (time on page, scroll depth, heat maps)

  • Search behavior

  • AI visibility tracking (brand mentions and citations)

  • CTA performance and downstream conversions


​Insights inform new content, site improvements, and strategic priorities — making SEO an ongoing, measurable driver of results.
