11+ years building organic growth for enterprise brands. I align technical SEO, content systems, and AI visibility strategy so you show up where it matters — in search results, AI answers, and everywhere in between.

What people say

"John began preparing for the meeting about two days in advance, and his thorough preparation was evident. During the meeting, we gained valuable insights into complex issues that would have taken us days to resolve on our own. I'm extremely grateful and can highly recommend John!"

Miro Liebschner — via GrowthMentor

"John had clarifying ideas on how to navigate a custom built enterprise website and its technical SEO."

Tommi Saltiola — via GrowthMentor

"John's knowledge of SEO is second-to-none. He knows how to unearth nitty-gritty details on a staggering amount of topics, from schema markup to internal linking. His proactive approach and seemingly innate ability to drill down and identify what a website needs makes him an integral part of an SEO strategy."

Eric M. Seal — SEO Colleague

"John is by far one of the smartest people I know with his astounding knowledge of SEO, but his way to think analytically about a situation is what makes him truly stand out. He makes data-driven decisions."
