SEO content strategist (6+ years) helping brands rank in Google AND get cited in AI search like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
📊 Recent results:
* A SaaS comparison article I optimized for btinsights.ai hit top 2 for its primary keyword and is now surfaced in Google AI Overviews
* Took a local concrete contractor in Tucson from 0 to roughly 5,000 monthly organic clicks within 3 months (around 20,000 cumulative)
* Helped a Philippine gaming top-up platform, recover from major indexing and ranking losses through technical SEO cleanup, schema fixes, and AEO content restructuring
Most SEO writers still optimize for traditional Google ranking only. I structure content so it does both jobs: ranks today, and stays visible as search keeps shifting toward AI. That dual-layer approach is what separates content that performs this quarter from content that quietly disappears next year.
🎯 What I do:
* Long-form SEO content and content strategy
* AEO/GEO structuring for AI search visibility (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity)
* On-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, headings, schema, internal linking
* Keyword research and search intent mapping
* Service pages, location pages, comparison articles, pillar pages, listicles
* Content refreshes and AI-draft humanization
* Technical SEO: indexing fixes, crawl issues, site structure cleanup
* WordPress and Elementor: page builds, on-page optimization, plugin work
💼 Industries: SaaS, B2B, tech, e-commerce, and local service businesses (construction, remodeling, contractors, home services).
🛠️ Stack: Ahrefs, Semrush, SurferSEO, NeuronWriter, RankMath, Yoast, Google Search Console, GA4, WordPress, Elementor. AI: Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity.
🤖 How I work: AI-assisted, never AI-dependent. AI handles the heavy lifting on research, outlines, and first drafts. Then I go through manually for accuracy, logic, structure, tone, and search performance. Nothing reads like generic AI output, and nothing ships unless it's actually useful to a real reader.
🤝 What I bring as a working partner: I move fast inside clear systems, deliver drafts that don't need rewriting, and care about real results (rankings, clicks, citations, leads) over vanity output. I work well with founders and agency owners who have a process and need a reliable executor.
📩 If you want content built for both Google and AI search, send me a quick note about your project and we'll scope it.

Hi, I'm James (a.k.a. Jim), a father, a full-time freelancer living between the UK and Thailand, looking after my mum in the UK and getting my son through an international school (GCSE) in Thailand. It's a great story, and I'd love to make your acquaintance by working with you on your project.
My edge as a freelancer is my 16+ years of experience as a content and SEO specialist.
I understand iGaming, Crypto, Finance and Local Small Business Lead Gen
I understand SEO.
I understand local SEO (I manage several websites, social media and marketing for friends and others by word of mouth)
I understand how to drive traffic to any blog or website, regardless of niche.
I understand affiliate content.
I understand client pain.
I can manage writers, systems and publishing.
I can turn AI output into what clients actually need.
I've been doing this for many years, and I work with other experts with whom I have built business relationships over the years as an online freelance consultant. My work is guaranteed, and what most clients love about me is that I am always ready to chat/communicate because working online is my full-time job.
I do not just write content. I fix what is not working and build systems that scale. I bring in leads, help with AI visibility and help my clients create AI workflows that save them time.
As per some of my latest feedback, my clients have pointed out how I've helped them use AI to increase productivity by introducing new workflows to their business models.
WHAT I ACTUALLY DO
- Audit and fix underperforming content
- Build keyword clusters and topical authority
- Manage full content workflows from planning to writing, QA, and publishing
- Improve rankings through structure, intent, and internal linking
- Run AI-assisted content systems with proper human QA
- Create new or improve exisiting lead gen funnels
- Maximise the use of AI to incrase client productivity
TEAM MANAGEMENT
I have worked in corporate environments as a remote manager and consultant, bringing together content, design, and marketing teams.
- Manage content, design, and marketing teams to maintain consistent SEO performance and messaging across all channels
- Align content, social, and product teams around a single strategy focused on rankings, traffic, and conversions
- Identify gaps between teams that slow down performance and fix them quickly
Ensure content moves efficiently from planning to publishing without bottlenecks or quality issues
HERE IS WHY I AM DIFFERENT
Most content looks fine on the surface.
- Product review contains inaccurate information
- Game counts look right, but are not
- Bonus details seem accurate, but are outdated or copied
- Articles are written but not structured to rank
I have worked with teams where everything passed checks until it was properly reviewed.
I build processes that catch these issues before they cost you rankings, trust, or revenue.
INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE AND HIGH-ACCURACY CONTENT
I have worked across industries where content accuracy, structure, and intent directly impact rankings, trust, and conversions.
'
CASINO (iGaming) / SPORTS BETTING / ESPORTS
My strongest experience is in iGaming, sports betting, eSports and affiliate content, one of the most detail-sensitive niches in SEO:
Bonus terms and wagering requirements
Game providers and real counts
Compliance and regulatory alignment
I have also worked across:
CRYPTO AND BLOCKCHAIN
Explaining complex topics like exchanges, wallets, and on-chain concepts in a way that ranks and converts
LOGISTICS AND SHIPPING
Structuring content around bulk freight, container transport, and clear B2B services
IT SERVICES
Building conversion-focused service pages for both technical and non-technical audiences
LOCAL BUSINESS WEBSITES
Creating location-focused pages that target real search intent and generate enquiries
Each industry requires a different approach, but the same core principles apply: clear structure, accurate information, and content that performs.
AI AND HUMAN CONTENT
I work both ways depending on what you need:
- Fully human-written content
- AI-assisted workflows for scale
- Hybrid systems with QA layered in
No shortcuts. No filler. Just content that performs.
MY SETUP
I operate as a freelancer supported by a small team of writers, researchers, and proofreaders.
- I handle strategy, structure, and QA personally
- Every piece goes through a final review before delivery
- You get consistency, speed, and a single point of accountability
EXPERIENCE SNAPSHOT
- 15+ years in iGaming and affiliate content
- 5+ years managing content teams, including briefing, QA, and editing
- 5+ years in crypto, stocks, and commodities
WHOM I WORK BEST WITH (Am I a good fit for your business?)
- Sites with content that is not ranking or converting
- Businesses that need proper content management, not just writing
- Teams looking to fix accuracy, QA, or scaling issues
- Clients who want a long-term SEO and content partner

WARNING: Past performance is not indicative of future results. I cannot guarantee media coverage of your business, organization, or cause.
With that said, I’ve arranged media coverage of Taylor Swift’s casket (google it for more info); a restaurant’s $615,000 lawsuit against New York City (also easily found on google); and a barber who moonlights as a salami maker (yep, also on google).
Since 2020, I’ve arranged over 200 earned media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe (including two front page stories), the New York Post, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, CNN, MSNBC, New York Magazine, Slate, A/V Club, NBC Nightly News, Fast Company, and dozens of other top-tier publications and outlets.
