I turn organic search into a profitable sales channel. With over 8 years of experience driving growth for global powerhouses like Nivea, Labello, City Lodge Hotel Group, and Mr. Price, I don't just "write content" - I design SEO ecosystems that dominate rankings and capture market share. 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. ๐Ÿš€ 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 - itโ€™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? Letโ€™s talk strategy.

Tickets piling up? Customers falling through the cracks? Support team missing SLAs? I fix that and I've done it at scale for over 10 years. I've supported 250+ merchants weekly at Yoco (fintech/POS), 300+ international customers weekly at Amazon, and 200+ customers weekly at Takealot, across payment issues, technical faults, account verification, and escalations. At Capitec Bank, I monitored a nationwide ATM network through SAP and Vynamic View, catching and escalating incidents before they hit customers. Across every role, I've cut repeat contacts by keeping people informed proactively, and consistently met response-time, resolution-time, and service targets in high-volume environments. What I bring to your support operation: - First-contact resolution across phone, email, live chat, social channels and internal channels reducing escalation volume, not just logging tickets - Incident and case management from intake to close, with clear escalation paths to the right team - SLA tracking and proactive follow-up, so nothing goes stale - Structured documentation and reporting for clean handoffs and audit trails - Fluent across major support stacks: Zendesk, Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Hubspot, Intercom, Conversocial, SAP, and CRM platforms I've also trained and onboarded new team members, collaborated with Product and Technical teams to address recurring customer pain points, and contributed QA feedback that improved service consistency. My experience extends beyond customer support to helping improve processes, team performance, and the overall customer experience. Send me your current ticket volume or biggest support bottleneck and I'll tell you within a day where I'd start. Message me with your project details; I typically respond within a few hours and can start right away. Other services I offer: Virtual assistance & scheduling | AI content evaluation & QA (Labelbox, Roboflow, CVAT) | Software/app/website testing
