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.

I worked in M&A advisory under an award-winning business broker at JRC Advisors, where I handled valuation, due diligence, and deal research on the sell side everyday. I bring real transactional experience and youthful intent to every business engagement. I'm also very good at sales! What I do for clients: - Business Valuation โ€” SDE, EBITDA multiples, asset-based, and income-approach models tailored to your industry and deal size - Buy-Side & Sell-Side Due Diligence โ€” financial statement analysis, risk flagging, quality of earnings, and deal memos that help you close or walk away with confidence - M&A Research & Target Sourcing โ€” identifying acquisition targets, comparable sales data, and market positioning - AI-Powered Business Analysis โ€” I use automation to compress research timelines and deliver sharper insights faster than traditional analysts - Financial Consulting for Banks & Brokers โ€” pitch decks, CIMs, buyer/seller calls, and advisory support I've worked with clients across financial services, banking, and SME consulting. My focus is precision and speed โ€” you get work that's deal-ready, not draft-ready. Who I work best with: business brokers, private equity scouts, entrepreneurs evaluating acquisitions, lenders underwriting deals, and financial consulting firms needing overflow capacity. Let's talk about your deal.

Hey, my name is Kat. I help businesses continuously grow their revenue and this is what that looks like. Most businesses aren't struggling because they're not working hard enough. They're struggling because they're talking to the wrong people and don't have a system that fixes that. I help businesses find the right leads, qualify them properly, and build a process that keeps the pipeline full without it all depending on you. Here's what I usually find when a client comes to me. They're doing a ton of outreach but hitting gatekeepers. Or they're booking calls but people aren't showing up. Or they're getting leads but none of them are actually ready to buy. Nine times out of ten the issue isn't the volume. It's that the qualification step is broken or missing entirely. What I do is go in, figure out exactly where it's breaking down, and build the system around it. That means finding where your best leads actually are, how to reach them, and how to qualify them so that by the time someone gets on a call with you, they already want to be there. Some results from doing this: Scaled a private equity firm's appointment funnel by 34% in 6 months Contributed to $1.5M+ in closed SaaS revenue through outbound systems Built lead generation and qualification processes for clients across 3 continents I work best with founders and operators who have already figured out how to monetize. They've got something that works but they're not getting nearly as much out of it as they should be. The system isn't built yet. The growth isn't sticking. And they know it. If that sounds familiar, then I look forward to seeing what kind of systems you've got setup.
