I am a native German and English speaker and have been living in South Africa for the past 18 years. I have strong translation and writing skills, with a focus on creating natural, engaging content. For over 12 years, I’ve been working as a freelancer, primarily on English-to-German translations across a wide range of content. My writing experience includes blog articles, product descriptions, and Amazon listings. I also have solid SEO knowledge, including keyword research and writing content that is both reader-friendly and optimized for search. In addition, I have practical e-commerce experience, having worked with Shopify and handled general customer support tasks. I also bring experience in subtitle editing and transcription. Before starting my professional career, I studied Psychology. I hold an MA in Research Psychology from UNISA and a BA from Stellenbosch University, where I majored in Psychology, Philosophy, and English.

While most SEOs are still stuck in 2022 tactics, I specialize in the 2026 Search Landscape: bridging the gap between traditional Technical SEO, User Experience (UX), and the new frontier of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and GEO. 🚀 Core Competencies & Strategic Services: - Holistic SEO Strategy: Full-funnel planning for SaaS, Finance, and DTC brands. - Technical SEO: Deep-dive audits and hands-on fixes (Indexing, Core Web Vitals, Schema). - AEO & GEO: Future-proofing your brand for AI-driven search (Search Generative Experience). - Content Architecture: High-authority organic strategy that converts readers into customers. - E-commerce SEO: Specialized growth for Shopify, WooCommerce, and Etsy SEO. - Local SEO: Advanced GBP management, Bing optimization, and local citation scaling. Industries I Serve: I have a proven track record of navigating high-competition niches, including: - SaaS - eCommerce - Finance (Lead Gen) - Insurance - DTC Brands Why Work With Me? SEO is no longer just about writing blogs - it’s shifted towards Search Experience Optimization (SXO). I ensure that every technical tweak and every word of content serves a dual purpose: pleasing the algorithm Gods and giving the user the information they need to make purchase decisions. Ready to dominate the SERPs? Let’s talk strategy.
