AI slop is at a peak. Google noticed, and this month implemented their most paradigm-shifting SEO updates in 25 years.
This means your SEO content is either an asset or a liability. Most companies are building the second one. It's killing their SEO results and alienating their audiences, pushing them towards competitors who have optimized their content for LLM searches. As agentic search starts to accelerate, you're not in the conversation anymore if your blog sucks.
The game now is SERP impressions, not clicks anymore.
Good content still yields incredible results in 2026.
As SEO morphs into AEO and GEO, the rules are changing - but the game remains the same: be authentic, add value and unique insights, and your tribe will find you.
I'm a tech content strategist, writer, and editor with 15+ years of experience, two marketing degrees, and a copywriting diploma from the International Advertising Association. I've managed content operations for multiple companies, grown domains from zero to 50+ domain authority, and published over 1,000 articles on the fastest-moving technology sectors - crypto, Web3, DeFi, cybersecurity, AI, robotics, smart homes, and tech regulation. Clients include CoinMarketCap, Circle, SingularityNET, and Bybit.
My work has been cited by more than 20 American universities and referenced by US politicians including Senator Elizabeth Warren and the acting Comptroller of the Currency. That's what real EEAT looks like in practice.
I do the opposite of shortcuts.
I use industry-leading tools like Ahrefs and a proven editorial workflow to build content strategies grounded in real keyword data - not guesswork.
Every article is supported by keyword research, built for both human readers and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews), and backed by unique visuals when needed. If you need a content calendar, I run a full competitor gap analysis to find where your rivals are weak and where you can win.
If you want full automation, I can build it - niche research, content strategy, weekly articles on trending and evergreen topics, images, even video,. Or if you want internal capability, I can design the workflows so your team can eventually run independently.
I'm also available as a consultant, fractional Content Strategist or editor if you need strategic leadership without the full-time overhead.
Niche specialisations: Crypto - Web3 - DeFi - AI - Cybersecurity - Robotics - Smart Homes - Fintech - Tech Regulation
The question isn't whether you need great content. You already know you do. The question is whether you're going to trust your domain's long-term health to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
