Are you tired of wasting money on marketing that never works?
Burned by SEO “experts” who overpromise and underdeliver?
Relying too heavily on paid ads without seeing sustainable growth?
Want more qualified traffic and leads, but don’t know who to trust?
I help businesses build predictable, compounding organic traffic by combining proven SEO strategies with AIO (AI Overviews) optimization — so you can rank faster, convert more, and future-proof your search presence in the AI era.
This concept is the revolution of ranking on ChatGPT search and more.
With 20+ years in digital marketing, I’ve scaled 100+ websites I own and manage, plus dozens of client brands. I’ve also been Expert-Vetted on Upwork since 2016, with nearly $1M in consulting revenue and 100+ 5-star reviews.
This isn’t theory — it’s the same approach I’ve used to:
- Build a $5M+ business in the violin niche using SEO
- Rank new content in Google AI Overviews within days
- Drive 6,500+ leads in just 3 days for a client campaign
- Grow my own YouTube channel to 70,000+ subscribers through SEO
You’re a great fit for my services if you:
- Run an established online business making $50K–$500K annually
- Offer services or products (coaching, courses, SaaS, e-comm, etc.)
- Have wasted $2K–$10K+/mo on marketing that didn’t move the needle
- Want a long-term, AIO/SEO-driven system — not a one-off tactic
- Prefer working directly with someone who has built and scaled businesses from scratch
I’m Michael Sanchez — SEO and AIO strategist with a track record of helping good businesses win online without relying on paid ads.

Launching a mobile app isn't just about driving downloads, it's about making the right strategic decisions before you invest heavily in growth.
I partner with early-stage mobile app founders to validate their ideas, define their go-to-market strategy, identify the right customers, prioritize growth opportunities, and build a roadmap for sustainable traction.
Whether you're preparing for launch, trying to acquire your first paying users, or getting ready to raise capital, my role is to help reduce risk and focus your time and budget on the initiatives most likely to move the business forward.
How I Help
✓ Go-to-Market Strategy
✓ Product Growth Strategy
✓ Market Validation
✓ Customer & ICP Development
✓ Positioning & Messaging
✓ Customer Acquisition Strategy
✓ Product-Led Growth
✓ User Activation & Retention
✓ Growth Roadmaps
✓ Fundraising & Launch Readiness
Rather than jumping straight into marketing execution, I help founders answer the questions that determine whether a launch succeeds:
• Who is our ideal customer?
• What problem are we really solving?
• What is our activation event?
• Which acquisition channels deserve investment?
• Where are users dropping off?
• What should we prioritize over the next 30, 60, and 90 days?
Once those answers are clear, marketing becomes significantly more effective.
Selected Experience:
📖 Amazon Kindle – Reading & Content Discovery
🛒 Staples – Mobile Commerce
🧠 Cocoon – Therapist Matching
📧 Canary Mail – AI Email
🌿 XShack – Cannabis Discovery & Research
👥 Crawler – Location-Based Social Discovery
📅 Shyft – Workforce Scheduling Marketplace
📦 Earth Class Mail – Digital Mail Platform (acquired by LegalZoom)
🏠 Renolution – Home Improvement Marketplace
Typical Engagements
I typically work with founders and executive teams on projects such as:
• Pre-launch GTM planning
• Product growth audits
• Launch readiness assessments
• Market validation
• Customer acquisition strategy
• Onboarding & activation optimization
• Retention and engagement strategy
• Growth experimentation
• Fractional product growth leadership
If you're looking for a strategic partner to help shape your product's launch and growth - not just execute marketing tactics... I’d love to learn more about what you're building.
Let's schedule a discovery call and see if we're a good fit.

Need social media help? I was an account manager at TikTok's Seattle office, directly managing $2M monthly GMV & assisting with $6M/month on TikTok Shop. I now manage $3M GMV/month & $600k+ monthly ad budgets
Prior to working at TikTok, I’ve generated over 2 BILLION views & 12 million followers. I’ve worked for L’Oréal, SEMRush, and multiple marketing agencies
⭐Please refer to samhollans.com for my portfolio and case studies! ⭐
TikTok Shop can be EXPENSIVE, point blank. Mass samples, expensive agencies, affiliate commissions, promotional habits, fulfillment costs - The list goes on.
Many brands unknowingly overspend, think 50 affiliates will make them rich, or quit when they realize they can't be profitable. All approaches fail!
After working at TikTok and managing 100+ accounts, I know what it takes to scale. I know where to spend, where to save, and where to automate.
Whether you need a one-time audit, ongoing consulting, or full-service management, I can help you grow from 0 to 7-figure months.
LET’S WORK! Shoot me a message/invite, and we can review your goals and expectations.
