Most SEO is sold as a one-time project. Rankings do not work that way. Authority builds over months. AI visibility compounds. The businesses showing up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude right now got there because someone was working the strategy consistently, not because they bought a checklist.
I work with businesses as a long-term SEO and AI visibility partner. Not a vendor on a one-off job. A strategist running the technical direction, content, and AI visibility month over month so your search presence builds as an asset.
Senior SEO and AI visibility strategist. Twenty years in the discipline, over three million dollars earned on Upwork, more than eleven hundred projects completed, Expert Vetted at the top tier of the platform.
I have fully embraced AI as a core part of how I work, and that combination is what separates this from anything else you will find. Twenty years of pattern recognition tells me what matters and what does not. AI tools let me move at a speed and depth that was not possible before. Research that used to take days happens in hours. Strategy, content, schema, and technical work that once required multiple specialists runs in a single engagement. You get senior-level judgment with senior-level output, delivered faster and more completely than the traditional model allows. Most people in this space are either experienced or AI-native. Very few are both.
What an ongoing retainer looks like:
On-page optimization on a consistent cycle: titles, meta descriptions, headers, and schema kept current and competitive
New content published monthly: blog posts and service pages built for topical authority and AI citation
Technical and internal linking maintained in the background
AI visibility monitored and built monthly across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude
Monthly reporting with ranking movement, AI visibility status, and next steps
Strategy adapted as search and AI shift, because they will
Retainers are scoped to your business. Most clients invest between $1,500 and $5,000 per month depending on scope and market.
Most clients start with a one-time SEO and AI Visibility Roadmap at $500. It is the complete strategy, prioritized and execution-ready, so you can see exactly how I think before committing to ongoing work. Many move into a retainer from there.
Who this is for: founders, operators, and marketing leaders who want a senior strategist as a long-term partner. Businesses that want search and AI visibility built as a compounding asset over 12 to 24 months.
Who this is not for: one-and-done mindset, cheapest option in the results, or businesses that want to hire and forget. I build long-term. If that is not the goal, I am not the right fit.
Send me your site and where you want to be in 12 months. I respond directly through Upwork messaging.

๐ Struggling to grow organic traffic, rank competitive keywords, or generate qualified leads consistently?
You're not alone. Most businesses invest in content, SEO, outreach, and digital marketing without seeing meaningful results because they lack a unified search engine optimization strategy.
For the past 8+ years, I've helped companies increase organic visibility, improve search rankings, and generate sustainable growth through advanced search engine optimization, SEO copywriting, content marketing, outreach campaigns, email marketing, and authority-focused link building.
As the Founder & CEO of Clicksy, I lead a global team of SEO specialists, content writers, translators, editors, and outreach professionals who execute large-scale search engine optimization campaigns across multiple industries and international markets.
My approach to search engine optimization goes beyond simply publishing content or building backlinks. Every SEO strategy starts with understanding your business goals, identifying revenue-generating keywords, analyzing competitors, and building a scalable search engine optimization framework designed to drive measurable business growth.
Whether you're a SaaS startup, eCommerce brand, agency, local business, enterprise company, or Amazon seller, I can help you turn search engine optimization into a predictable growth channel.
Here's how I help clients:

Strong search engine optimization requires authority.
I execute white-hat outreach campaigns, guest posting campaigns, digital PR initiatives, niche edit placements, backlink acquisition strategies, and email marketing outreach designed to secure relevant, high-authority links that support long-term SEO growth.
My outreach process includes prospect research, outreach strategy development, relationship building, email marketing campaigns, backlink negotiations, and performance tracking.
โ Digital Marketing & Growth Strategy
Search engine optimization works best when integrated with broader digital marketing efforts.
I regularly support businesses with digital marketing strategy, content marketing planning, social media marketing alignment, conversion optimization initiatives, customer acquisition planning, and Google Ads collaboration to maximize overall marketing performance.

Hello, I'm Oleh โ an SEO strategist with over 9 years of experience delivering measurable growth for E-commerce, SaaS, and local businesses.
Across more than 100 projects, Iโve helped companies increase their organic traffic by up to 250% within one year, combining technical precision, content strategy, and execution management.
What I Bring to the Table
โ Full-scope SEO leadership
I donโt just โdo SEO.โ I lead the process end-to-end โ coordinating developers, copywriters, outreach teams, and designers to ensure the strategy is executed effectively.
โ Optimized for todayโs SERP & tomorrowโs AI-driven search
I specialize in preparing websites not only for traditional Google rankings but also for emerging AI-driven results (SGE, LLM outputs, and AI assistants). This includes:
- Structuring content for AI readiness (SGE, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, etc)
- Enhancing semantic architecture for vector indexing & entity recognition
- Optimizing schema and on-page signals to improve content inclusion in AI responses
- Creating topic clusters for long-term authority and expert positioning
โ Transparent process & reporting
Whether the campaign is active or temporarily paused, I provide structured reporting with clear progress, deliverables, and next steps.
โ Ongoing strategic support
Even after the project is complete, I remain available for consultations, unexpected challenges, and tactical refinement.
โ Strong execution network
I work with proven niche copywriters, technical developers, backlink specialists, and PR/media contacts, so I can move from planning to implementation without sacrificing quality.
โ Tools & tech
Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, GSC API, Clarity, Looker Studio, SurferSEO, Google Merchant Center feeds, automation pipelines, and AI-driven content auditing/creation tools.
My Approach
Every collaboration starts with in-depth diagnostics. I analyze:
- Your websiteโs real issues (technical, structural, topical gaps)
- Competitor advantages
- Geographic search specifics
- Product/service positioning and business objectives
Once I have a clear picture, I use my experience, network, and resources to build a tailored SEO roadmap that boosts visibility, ranking stability, and, now, AI discoverability.

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 โ 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:
โข 81,400 organic clicks delivered
โข 1.75M impressions on Google Search
โข 4.6% average CTR (vs. 1.9% category baseline)
โข Average position: 14.6 from a cold start
โข 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.

โข AEO strategy for SaaS, eCommerce, and high-intent verticals
โข Google AI Overviews optimization
โข ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude visibility audits

โข Structured Q&A architecture for AI search engines

LocalBusiness, Service
โข JavaScript SEO, hreflang, canonicalization, redirect mapping
โข XML sitemap and robots.txt optimization

โข Topical authority architecture
โข Internal linking engineering
โข SXO (Search Experience Optimization) โ UX and SEO alignment
WHO I WORK BEST WITH
โข SaaS B2B companies (Series A to C) competing in saturated categories
โข eCommerce DTC brands ($1M to $50M ARR) where category-defining queries decide
the buyer's shortlist
โข Marketing agencies needing an embedded AEO and SEO strategist
HOW I WORK
I do not sell traffic. I sell category visibility โ across Google and across LLMs. I report in business outcomes โ citations, share of voice, qualified traffic, pipeline โ 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 โ let's talk.

Most businesses come to me frustrated. They publish content, build backlinks, run auditsโฆ yet traffic stays flat, rankings bounce, competitors dominate snippets, and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google SGE donโt mention their brand.
If this sounds familiar, you need an SEO Specialist, AI SEO expert, and SEO Consultant who truly understands modern search both Google and AI-driven search engines.
Many businesses rely on outdated SEO advice. They hire generic SEO Specialists, but nobody fixes the invisible problems blocking AI visibility. Thatโs where I step in as an SEO Specialist, AI SEO expert, SEO Consultant, and white-hat SEO strategist.

Clients reach out when they feel stuck:

โข โCompetitors appear in snippets and answer boxes we want.โ
โข โChatGPT, Perplexity, or SGE never mention our brand.โ
โข โTraffic fluctuates and indexing seems broken.โ
โข โLocal SEO search results are inconsistent.โ
These are signs that technical SEO, content structure, white-hat link strategy, and AI optimization are misaligned. Most SEO Specialists miss them. As an SEO Consultant, I identify the root cause and fix it with proven AI SEO and white-hat SEO methods.

I specialize in using platforms like Quora and Reddit to help businesses improve their online visibility through strategic content and natural link building. My focus is on creating valuable, informative answers and discussions that engage real audiences while supporting long-term SEO growth.
With experience in content creation, community engagement, and organic link building, I help brands reach the right people by sharing useful insights rather than promotional content. By understanding how communities work on Quora and Reddit, I aim to build trust, encourage meaningful conversations and drive targeted traffic.
I regularly contribute insights on topics related to content marketing, online communities, SEO strategies, and digital growth. My goal is to provide helpful, practical information that readers can actually use.
