At its core, marketing is the art of selling money at a discount. I've generated $40 million + for clients and growing. Growing up I was the kid who brought a 3D-printed turbine to the science fair, let my friends copy my test answers, and stayed up late obsessing over tech no one else cared about. Back then, it got me teased. Now, I’m grateful it’s the fuel behind how I help clients grow revenue. I’m an introvert, but also an overachiever, unapologetically. Over the last year especially, the rules of visibility have expanded. When Google rolled out AI Mode more broadly on May 20, 2025 (and continued scaling AI Overviews), it made something obvious that had been building for a while: virtually all search is now AI assisted, whether you’re looking at organic results, paid placements, or even local SEO. (I’ve got videos breaking down how this changes local visibility and what actually moves the needle.) So instead of treating AI search like a separate channel, I understand that it’s an additional layer sitting on top of everything we already do. Traditional SEO metrics were built for a different era, one dominated by the familiar ten blue links. In that context, the focus was on visibility and user interaction within a static results page. Standard key performance indicators included metrics like SERP position and “keyword rankings”. These figures were instrumental in measuring campaign impact and benchmarking progress. However, they all share a fundamental design assumption: they were created for human users scrolling through Google’s interface, not AI systems parsing the web behind the scenes. We’ve moved into a world of AI-enhanced search. Users now engage through natural language queries and get direct, synthesized responses from systems like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or Perplexity. Under the hood, the plumbing looks different: Vector-Based Storage Systems Semantic Embeddings Hybrid Ranking Models (think classic keyword retrieval + re-ranking) Large Language Models (LLMs) AI Agents and task-driven workflows In this environment, search isn’t only about ranking a page. It’s about being retrieved, trusted, and preferred when an AI system is assembling an answer. Here’s the nuance most people miss: Step 1: Getting pulled (retrieval) — Do you even make it into the candidate set? Step 2: Getting preferred (re-ranking) — Once you’re in the set, are you the one the system chooses to surface, cite, or summarize? That two-step reality is exactly why a lot of content shows up sometimes… but rarely becomes the top recommendation. A big influence on how I approach this is the 2025 MIT + Columbia research on Generative Engine Optimization in e-commerce (often referenced as the E-GEO work). And other similar studies. That’s why I built and use an internal workflow that tests variations and re-ranks them based on extractability, clarity, and evidence. The goal is simple: content that reliably gets pulled and reliably gets preferred. AI systems don’t replace crawling, indexing, and ranking; they usually sit on top of classic search infrastructure and retrieval systems, then reason over what’s been fetched. In other words, the old rules still matter, but now they feed a bigger machine. So yes, we still care about technical SEO, content depth, entity clarity, internal linking, and authority. But we also care about: How your pages get chunked and retrieved Whether your answers are easy to reuse without distortion Whether your claims are provable Whether your differentiators are concrete Whether your structure matches how people ask questions today This is why, while most agencies were still refreshing rank trackers, I rebuilt my SEO and PPC stack to include optimization around vector search, query fan-out mapping, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation, so my clients are positioned to show up in Google SERPs, AI-generated answers, and paid slots. Who’s Not A Fit Micromanagers: If you need to control every move and won’t let my team and I execute, we won’t be effective. Budgets under $1.7k/month: Intro plans start there; most of my clients invest between $2.5–$5k. I believe money is only an issue in the absence of value, and I intend to bring you value. “Set-and-forget” mindsets: Tomorrow’s SERPs belong to brands that iterate and evolve. Ranking vanity: If a green arrow in a tool matters more than profitable revenue, we’re not aligned. If any of those sound like you, no hard feelings, save my info for later. If not, your company may be a good fit. To get started, send me a DM about your business and goals, and we can jump on a Zoom call to discuss the details. If you refuse to settle for average and want an SEO/PPC engine built for a search landscape where AI is already everywhere, let’s map out your success together.
