Most SEO experts can rank you on Google. Almost none can get your brand cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. That's where buyers go now. That's the gap I close.
I'm Javier Moraes, an AI SEO and AEO Expert with 10+ years in search engine optimization and 5,675+ hours billed on Upwork (Top Rated Plus, 98% Job Success). I help SaaS companies, eCommerce brands, and ambitious businesses win the new search layer: AI-powered engines, generative search, and traditional Google rankings — all engineered together as one system.
A RECENT RESULT, NOT A PITCH
For one DTC brand in the food category, I built an AEO-first SEO system from scratch.
Six months later:
• 81,400 organic clicks delivered
• 1.75M impressions on Google Search
• 4.6% average CTR (vs. 1.9% category baseline)
• Average position: 14.6 from a cold start
• Brand began appearing in Google AI Overviews and Perplexity citations by month 4
That is what AI SEO done right looks like. No tricks. No volume play. Just engineered visibility across every search surface that matters.
WHAT I DO
AI SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
• AEO strategy for SaaS, eCommerce, and high-intent verticals
• Google AI Overviews optimization
• ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude visibility audits
• Citation-targeted content engineering
• Entity-based SEO and knowledge graph optimization
• Conversational query mapping
• Structured Q&A architecture for AI search engines
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
• Source authority strategy across AI training and retrieval data
• Brand mention engineering across PR, comparison sites, listicles, communities
• AI Overviews readiness audits
• Prompt-level testing and AI search share-of-voice tracking
Technical SEO (AI-Ready Foundation)
• Full technical SEO audits — crawlability, indexation, site architecture
• Core Web Vitals optimization (LCP, CLS, INP)
• Schema markup engineering — Product, Organization, FAQPage, Article, HowTo,
LocalBusiness, Service
• JavaScript SEO, hreflang, canonicalization, redirect mapping
• XML sitemap and robots.txt optimization
• Structured data validation built for AI extraction, not just rich snippets
• Migration support and recovery audits
eCommerce and SaaS SEO
• Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Webflow, custom stacks
• Faceted navigation strategy and collection page architecture
• Product schema engineering
• Category-defining query domination
• SaaS programmatic SEO and feature page optimization
On-Page and Content SEO
• Entity-rich content rebuilds
• Topical authority architecture
• Internal linking engineering
• SXO (Search Experience Optimization) — UX and SEO alignment
WHO I WORK BEST WITH
• SaaS B2B companies (Series A to C) competing in saturated categories
• eCommerce DTC brands ($1M to $50M ARR) where category-defining queries decide
the buyer's shortlist
• Marketing agencies needing an embedded AEO and SEO strategist
HOW I WORK
I do not sell traffic. I sell category visibility — across Google and across LLMs. I report in business outcomes — citations, share of voice, qualified traffic, pipeline — not just rankings.
I bring a decade of SEO depth, but my work is built for how search behaves today: AIfirst, intent-driven, entity-grounded.
I am UC Davis-trained in advanced SEO, technically fluent (active GitHub and StackOverflow), and bilingual (English and Spanish, native level).
I have shipped SEO and AEO work across SaaS, eCommerce, law firms, insurance, AI startups, real estate, and contractors.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
"Javier's SEO knowledge goes far beyond what you'd typically find on Upwork. He brings deep expertise, strategic thinking, and clarity."
"I had a 5-star experience working with Javier. Clear communicator, extremely knowledgeable, firm and confident in his recommendations."
"Wonderful to work with. Clear with communication, patient, flexible, with Deep knowledge of the subject."
HOW TO START
Send me a message with three things:
1. Your domain
2. Your top 3 competitors
3. The buyer query you most want to win in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews
I will send you a 5-minute Loom audit before we even discuss pricing. That is how seriously I take fit. If you want classic SEO, there are 50,000 freelancers for that. If you want to win the AI search layer before your competitors figure out it exists — let's talk.
