I help businesses build search visibility across Google and AI powered search platforms including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and other conversational search experiences.
With 10+ years of SEO experience and 250+ websites worked on, I combine traditional SEO with GEO, AEO, semantic SEO, entity optimization, topical authority, technical SEO and conversion focused content strategies to help businesses get discovered, trusted and chosen.
My approach is not about producing endless backlinks or chasing outdated SEO tactics. I focus on building a technically strong, authoritative and search friendly website that can perform across traditional search and AI driven discovery.

I look beyond individual keywords and focus on topics, entities, intent, context and authority.
I analyze what Google and AI search systems are looking for, identify content gaps, strengthen topical coverage, improve site architecture, implement structured data and optimize content so your brand can become a more credible source for both search engines and AI systems.
For AI search, I focus on making important information clear, structured, factual, contextually connected and easy for search systems to understand and reference.

Iโm an SEO specialist with 9+ years of experience helping businesses grow their organic visibility, generate qualified traffic, and turn search into real business results.
I began my SEO journey in 2017 at a digital marketing agency in Atlanta, where I eventually became SEO Lead and managed strategy for clients across multiple industries. Since 2021, Iโve been working independently with my own clients, helping businesses improve search rankings, site performance, lead generation, and overall search visibility.
Alongside SEO, I have 3+ years of experience managing Google Ads campaigns, particularly for local service businesses. I focus on high-intent search campaigns, keyword research, negative keyword management, conversion tracking, geographic targeting, and optimizing campaigns toward qualified leads rather than simply maximizing clicks.
My core SEO focus areas include:
โข Keyword research & content strategy
โข Technical SEO
โข On-page optimization
โข Local SEO
โข SEO audits
โข Website migrations & troubleshooting
โข Google Search Console & Analytics
Iโm experienced with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Magento, and Squarespace, as well as tools including Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Ads.
If youโre looking for someone who understands both organic and paid search and is focused on turning search traffic into measurable business results, Iโd love to help your business grow.

๐ Get a Data-Driven Website Analysis + Onsite/off Page optimization + a Customized SEO Action Plan That Actually Delivers Results ๐
Hi, Iโm Filipe de Oliveira Silva, an experienced SEO Manager with 15+ years of proven success in driving organic growth. I specialize in On-Page, Off-Page, Technical SEO, and AI-driven search strategies that align with how Google really works today..
We help businesses improve their chances of being recommended by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Right now, when potential clients ask AI tools for a recommendation in your industry, those platforms are already recommending someone. Just not you. This is not traditional SEO. It is about positioning your business where search is moving, inside AI-generated answers. And if your competitors get there first, they will capture that demand before you even know it is happening.
How we do it:
Visibility: We ensure AI systems can properly read, understand, and access your business. This includes structured data implementation, AI crawler configuration, and website clarity so every major AI platform knows who you are, what you do, and where you operate.
Credibility: We strengthen your authority with clear service definitions, content that AI can confidently reference, and trust signals that position your business as a valid recommendation.
Presence: We build the signals that influence AI recommendations over time, including citations, reviews, directory consistency, and overall brand clarity across the web.
๐ก Why Work With Me?
Search is evolving fast. From E-E-A-T principles to entity-based SEO, Core Web Vitals, and AI-powered search (SGE) I stay ahead so your business stays visible.
I donโt believe in shortcuts or outdated tactics.
๐ My approach is 100% white-hat, future-proof, and ROI-focused.
๐ฏ What You Can Expect
โ A complete website audit with clear insights
โ A custom SEO roadmap tailored to your business goals
โ Execution that drives measurable growth (not vanity metrics)
