Your pages now need two things: Google has to keep them, and AI search has to cite them. Both come down to one question - can a machine tell your page apart from everyone else's?
I measure that answer instead of guessing at it.
Last year I built a 250,000-page Next.js site. Google indexed it, then mass-deindexed it. I measured 6-gram similarity between pages (59-64% overlap, only 22-26% unique text), confirmed it page-by-page through the URL Inspection API, then rebuilt the pages on real external data - NOAA climate normals, US Census housing, Wikidata entity links - for 4,800 cities. When that only moved uniqueness from 26% to 34%, I told the owner the truth and we cut the site to 38,728 pages, keeping the ones that had actually produced phone calls.
That is the same discipline AI search rewards. Models cite sources that are specific, structured and verifiable. Thin pages do not get cited any more than they get indexed.
WHAT I DO
- AI search visibility (GEO / AEO) - entity schema with Wikipedia/Wikidata sameAs, llms.txt, structured data and factual density that make you the citable source
- Indexing and deindexing diagnosis - "Crawled - currently not indexed", crawl budget, thin and duplicate content, canonical and sitemap mismatches
- CMS migration without losing rankings - WordPress to headless (Sanity, Astro, Next.js) on Vercel: scripted content ETL, 301 redirect maps, canonical preservation, then a launch verification battery that re-checks every URL on the live domain. Last one shipped in 3 days for a telehealth practice - the 5.0 review on this profile is that client
- Programmatic / pSEO builds in Next.js - data model, URL architecture, content engine, sitemaps, schema, ISR, the whole pipeline
- Technical SEO forensics - I've traced total traffic loss to Vercel Deployment Protection, Vercel Attack Challenge Mode blocking Googlebot, and a prerender script shipping a 0-character homepage to crawlers
- Full-stack build - Next.js, Astro, Sanity, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase, Shopify Hydrogen, Cloudflare Workers/Pages, Stripe, Twilio
HOW I WORK
I use APIs, not dashboards. Search Console Search Analytics, URL Inspection and Indexing APIs across 22 properties. Ahrefs API filtered on serp_domain_rating_top10_min - so I only target keywords where a weak site ALREADY ranks top 10, which is proof of entry instead of a difficulty guess. Every claim I make comes with the query that produced it.
I will also tell you when the answer is "don't build this." I've killed several of my own projects with keyword research, and I'd rather lose a week of billing than build you 40,000 pages Google will delete.
Currently running 36 production sites across Vercel and Cloudflare, roughly 3,150 commits in the last 12 months.
If your site is losing pages, never got indexed, or is invisible in AI answers - send me the domain and I'll tell you what I see before you pay anything.

AEO and GEO Case Study:
I got a general contractor in Long Beach, NY cited in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok within 3 months. Search "contractor Long Beach NY" right now in any AI engine. You'll find my client Recast Industries. That's what GEO and AEO optimization looks like in practice.
Most SEO specialists are still optimizing for 2019. I optimize for where search actually is, Google Maps, traditional search, Google AI Overviews, and every major AI engine your customers are already using.
I'm Fawad. Local SEO expert, technical SEO specialist, and one of the few people doing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) before they became buzzwords. I've been in SEO since 2018, written 200,000+ words of native web content, built high-converting WordPress websites, and ranked local businesses in markets where the competition doesn't play nice.
🤖 Here's exactly how I get businesses into AI search engines:
✅ Entity consolidation, One clean, consistent entity signal across your Google Business Profile, website, citations and social profiles. Every AI pulling data from the web needs to see one unambiguous authoritative source. Gaps here kill AI visibility before it starts.
✅ Passage-level content writing, Each section of your page answers one specific query completely on its own. That's exactly how LLMs extract and cite content. Traditional SEO writing doesn't work here.
✅ Clean content hierarchy, Structured H1, H2 and H3 so AI crawlers can parse your content without confusion. Simple in theory, broken on most sites in practice.
✅ Schema validation, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ and Organization schema implemented, validated and confirmed passing Google Rich Results Test before I mark anything done.
✅ Topical depth, Every related query variation covered across your service pages so AI engines see you as the authoritative source on your topic, not just a page that mentions the keyword.
✅ NAP consistency, Your name, address and phone number identical across every directory, citation and platform. One inconsistency unravels entity consolidation work.
✅ AI-native meta writing, Titles and descriptions written to match how people ask questions in AI search, not just how they type keywords into Google.
