Hi,
Probably you're wondering, 'why would he want to work with me when there's a gap in his Upwork profile?'
I would be skeptical too.
What you might not know is that I took a break from Upwork to serve long-term private clients. During this time, I have transitioned from being just a copywriter to an-all-round digital marketing specialist.
If you'd love to see my up-to-date profile and recommendations, check my LinkedIn profile.
LinkedIn profile: Elijah M. Kilele
Here's what my most recent client had to say about my services:
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Elijah Kilele for nearly two years now, and our collaboration continues to bring great value to our organization and those we co-create with in partnerships.
Elijah has a strong command of digital marketing, with excellent strengths in in-depth market research, direct-response copywriting, and strategic thinking. Whether launching or optimizing campaigns for our brand or our clients, he consistently produces high-performing results across Meta and Google Ads and supports our LinkedIn strategy with well-considered insights.
His approach is always thoughtful and goal-oriented. Elijah’s approach is not only to write or run ads. He develops comprehensive marketing strategies that align with our business objectives and drive measurable results.
I enjoy working with Elijah. He brings the necessary input to my thinking that I am missing, and he can explain concepts of marketing in a way that answers my questions and gives me practical approaches to the success I am looking for. I highly recommend him to any business or agency looking for a strategic and results-focused digital marketing partner." __ Rhonda L. Bowen, Bell Solutions
"It is with great pleasure that I recommend Elijah Kilele for his exceptional support during the Global Women’s Trade Summit South Africa 2024. Elijah played a pivotal role in managing our digital marketing campaign, with a particular focus on paid advertising. His expertise in Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram Ads was instrumental in driving the visibility and reach of our event."_ Vino Pillay, IWFCA
"Elijah demonstrated a keen understanding of our target audience, ensuring that the campaigns were strategically aligned with our goals. His skillful copywriting not only captured attention but also resonated with our diverse audience, which contributed significantly to the high engagement levels we experienced. The ad performance across all platforms consistently exceeded expectations, helping us attract participants, partners, and stakeholders globally."
"Elijah's professionalism, creativity, and dedication to delivering results are qualities that set him apart. He was always proactive in optimizing campaigns to ensure we maximized our return on investment, and his contributions were crucial to the overall success of the Summit."
"I highly recommend Elijah for any digital marketing initiative, especially those involving paid advertising and ad copywriting. His commitment and expertise will undoubtedly add immense value to any project he undertakes."
And this could be you sharing similar success stories.

Overview
If your website isn’t showing up in search results or AI summaries, the issue usually isn’t effort — it’s authority and structure.
I help businesses, affiliate sites, and content-heavy websites increase search visibility, AI discoverability, and long-term organic growth by building clear topical authority and strong SEO foundations.
My work focuses on how search engines and AI systems understand websites:
what they trust, what they reference, and what they ignore.
I don’t rely on generic SEO tactics. I work with systems that compound.
SEO Problems I Solve
• Website has content but lacks authority
• Rankings fluctuate and don’t stick
• Site is invisible in AI Overviews and AI search tools
• SEO work was done but traffic doesn’t grow consistently
• No clear content strategy or topical focus
• Affiliate traffic doesn’t convert into revenue
These are the issues I’m hired to fix.
My SEO Focus Areas
• Technical SEO audits and fixes
• Keyword research with clear search intent
• Topical authority planning and content clustering
• AI SEO / AI search visibility optimization
• On-page SEO and internal linking strategy
• Affiliate SEO (Amazon, lead generation, display ads)
• Content optimization and website content management
• SEO reporting, analytics, and performance tracking
How I Approach SEO
SEO works best when structure comes before scale.
I start by making sure:
- The website’s niche and topical focus are clear
- content supports one another instead of competing
- internal linking reinforces authority
- tracking and benchmarks are reliable
This creates predictable growth instead of random wins.
I also own and manage multiple niche websites, so the strategies I use are tested in real-world conditions, not theory.
What You’ll See in the First 7–14 Days
• SEO audit (technical, content, and topical)
• Google Analytics (GA4) and Search Console setup or cleanup
• Keyword and topical gap analysis
• Priority pages optimized or created
• Clear SEO roadmap for the next 90 days
This phase is designed to create early clarity and visible progress, which is critical for long-term success.
Affiliate & Monetized Website SEO
I help affiliate and monetized sites build traffic that converts by aligning:
- keyword intent
- content structure
- monetization strategy
This includes Amazon affiliate SEO, lead generation pages, and ad-supported content.
SEO without monetization planning wastes time.
Content Management & Ongoing SEO
I regularly work on:
- WordPress websites and page builders
- daily or weekly content publishing
- content expansion and optimization
- maintaining SEO best practices at scale
Content is treated as a ranking and conversion asset, not filler.
Working Style
• Clear communication
• Ownership of deliverables
• Consistent progress updates
• Comfortable working async with international teams
• Focus on long-term contracts, earned through results
If You’re a Good Fit
You’re looking for:
- An SEO specialist who understands AI search and traditional SEO
- someone who can show progress early and build sustainably
- a long-term partner, not task-by-task execution
If that sounds right, we can start with an audit or short pilot and grow from there.

Every completed job on my Upwork profile is rated 5 stars (9 out of 9 completed contracts), with five active projects currently in progress.
Off-platform, I run 75 production scrapers and APIs on the Apify Store under george.the.developer, serving 3,400+ users. I've also independently built and shipped two mobile apps to both the App Store and Google Play. Every claim is publicly verifiable before you hire me—just search the name and check.
I'm a data extraction engineer who specializes in the sites that fight back: Cloudflare Bot Management, Turnstile, DataDome, and PerimeterX. These are the sites where off-the-shelf tools fail after a few hours and accounts get flagged at the TLS layer. I also rescue production pipelines that other developers built but have quietly stopped working.
Most clients discover too late that when a scraper keeps getting blocked, the parser isn't the problem. The real issue is usually the TLS fingerprint, session rotation, or challenge handling. Likewise, when an automation silently drops data, it's almost always caused by webhook retry logic, deduplication, or rate-limit handling. Those are the failures I diagnose and fix every day.
WHAT I BUILD
- Production-grade scrapers using Apify, Crawlee, Playwright, Puppeteer, and Node.js
- Anti-bot audits for scrapers that fail after a few hours
- Multi-source data pipelines integrating 3–6 APIs into Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, or PostgreSQL using n8n, Apify schedules, GitHub Actions, and webhooks
- Operations dashboards with deduplication, formatting, and Slack alerts for failures
- AI agent backends powered by self-hosted LLMs using Ollama and local RAG, eliminating ongoing per-token costs
- VPS infrastructure for 24/7 scraping using Docker, Redis, and worker queues
STACK
- Node.js and Python
- Crawlee, Playwright, Puppeteer, Apify Actor SDK
- n8n, Make, GitHub Actions, webhooks, Standby APIs
- PostgreSQL
- Ollama, local RAG, Claude, and OpenAI
- Docker, Redis
- Hetzner and Contabo VPS
- Proxies from Apify, Bright Data, Oxylabs, and residential ISP pools
PROOF
- 75 public Apify Actors under george.the.developer, serving 3,400+ users
- Two mobile apps built and shipped end-to-end by me to both the App Store and Google Play:
- Cactus Alert — real-time public safety incident feeds with live scanner audio transcription
- Haulr — logistics platform with customer, driver, and admin roles, including development, store submission, review, and release management
- PenBot — a production AI platform delivering messages through a closed prison email system using PostgreSQL, Stripe subscriptions, SMS, and browser automation, with paying subscribers. A full case study is available in my portfolio.
- 14 Upwork contracts, 9 completed, every completed contract rated 5 stars
- Six production Standby APIs:
- Email Validator
- Website Intelligence
- AI Content Detector
- WebSight
- URL Metadata
- Domain WHOIS
- Inmate Creations — a production e-commerce platform for inmate-created artwork
GOOD FITS
- Scrapers that keep getting blocked and need an anti-bot audit
- Sites protected by Cloudflare Bot Management, Turnstile, or DataDome
- Building, migrating, or optimizing Apify Actors
- Reliable multi-source data pipelines that run daily without supervision
- Operations dashboards combining Shopify, Klaviyo, Stripe, or advertising platform data
- Automations where the previous developer disappeared or the current workflow has become difficult to maintain
NOT A FIT
- WordPress plugins
- Shopify themes
- General web design
- Projects without a defined scope
- Clients looking for the lowest price
I'm not the cheapest developer. I'm the one whose pipelines are still running next month.
If you already have a site that needs scraping, a pipeline that broke, or data you want flowing into your spreadsheet every morning, send it over. I reply quickly to serious inquiries.
