10+ years in SEO. The last two have gone into building the actual tools and dashboards that do this work, not just talking about AI SEO in a proposal.
If you want the classic outsourced SEO formula of SEMRush for technical audits, paid guest posts for link building, and wordy monthly reporting - use someone else. I have really only one goal - to work with you to identify, close the gap on, and ultimately surpass competitors. That's it. To rank in Google is to have the most authoritative site in your industry, so that's what I work with you to build.
📈 Quick highlights
🔹 10+ years across technical, local, and content SEO
🔹 14M+ combined monthly visitors across an affiliate portfolio I built keyword and content strategy for
🔹 40+ legal sites under technical SEO management with a specialist legal agency
🔹 200+ manual actions removed, paid on results
🔹 Called as an expert witness in litigation against Google over manual actions
🔹 Currently running multi-site SEO strategy for a legal marketing agency, live off Ahrefs data
Here's what actually separates me from most "AI SEO" listings - I don't query AI I use it to build systems.
Have built working dashboards and semi-automated processes for keyword research, link outreach, technical audits, content creation, AI-detection-resistant content humanization, internal link analysis and almost every other SEO process there is.
🎯 The tools and processes I've built and use daily:
✔️ Keyword Research: custom dashboards pulling live Ahrefs and GSC data to build topic clusters and content gaps at a scale manual research can't touch
✔️ Technical Audits: semi-automated audit processes covering crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, and schema, tested on 100+ page legal and ecommerce sites
✔️ Content Creation & Humanization: AI-assisted content pipelines with a dedicated humanization process, because generic AI content gets flagged by both readers and AI detectors and neither one helps you rank
✔️ Internal Linking: audit and anchor-diversification tooling built for large multi-hundred-page sites
✔️ Outreach: semi-automated link outreach processes for building authority without the manual grind
✔️ AI SEO / AEO / GEO: tracking systems for how sites actually show up inside Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, and ChatGPT/Perplexity answers, most agencies still can't measure this at all
✔️ Full-Stack CMS Coverage: the entire process above works across WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, and Wix, from initial build to ongoing optimization
📊 Where I've done this work:
🔶 Investor portfolio of high-traffic affiliate sites (14M+ monthly visitors): built the large-scale keyword research and topic cluster process behind tens of thousands of money keywords.
🔶 HubSpot Diamond agency: managed 15+ client accounts in SEMrush, led on-site and off-site SEO.
🔶 Legal SEO agency: technical SEO across a 40+ site client roster.
🔶 Enterprise brands: technical and forensic audits, disavow work for Mitratech, Predictspring, Coursera, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin.

I'm a Link Building Specialist with 6,000+ hours on Upwork building white hat backlinks, a 100% Job Success Score, and all 5-star reviews. I build links that rank your site and bring in organic leads.
I've spent 15+ years inside the world's best SEO agencies as a link builder and have proven excellence with 3,000+ live backlinks for 50+ clients. Every client who has left a review has rated me 5 stars, and I hold to that standard on every campaign.
I learned link building directly from the late Eric Ward, one of the pioneers of link building. He set the code of ethics and the standard for results that I still run my link building on.
Most link builders on Upwork hand you backlinks from their own "portfolio" of sites. Those are the same domains sold to dozens of clients, and Google discounted them years ago. I work differently. Every campaign starts with a fresh prospect list built for your niche, and I check each site by hand for real traffic, real editorial standards, and topical fit before I pitch it. No PBNs, no link farms, no paid guest post packages, no automated blasts.
Link building services:
- White hat link building and SEO backlinking campaigns, monthly or project-based
- Guest post outreach: editorial backlinks on real DR 40+ sites with genuine organic traffic
- SEO outreach and blogger outreach: personal, manual pitches to real editors
- Digital PR and journalist outreach for newsworthy angles
- Broken link building and resource page link building
- Unlinked brand mention outreach and link reclamation
- Competitor backlink gap analysis in Ahrefs and SEMrush
- Anchor text planning and backlink profile audits
How I work: Prospect, then vet by hand in Ahrefs and SEMrush, then pitch one-to-one, then track every reply through to placement in BuzzStream, then confirm each link is live and watch for drops.
Track record:
- 100% Job Success Score, all 5-star reviews
- $80K+ earned across 6,000+ hours on Upwork
- 15+ years building links inside SEO agencies for 50+ clients
- 3,000+ live backlinks earned across 2,000+ unique, high-quality domains
- Industries: Construction and Home Improvement, Travel and Hospitality, Real Estate, Health and - Medical, B2B SaaS and Tech, Business and Finance, Logistics, Local Businesses
You get full reporting: every site contacted, response status, live links with target page and anchor text, domain metrics (DR/DA, organic traffic), and lost-link monitoring. Want to approve every site before I pitch it? That's built in.
Send me a message with your site and your niche, and I'll tell you where the real link opportunities are.

Visibility is the new currency. For the past 5 years, I help brands dominate organic search and scale through high-performance affiliate partnerships—creating a self-sustaining revenue engine that doesn't rely on rising ad costs.
I help brands move from "unknown" to "industry leader" by focusing on the revenue-driven pillars of digital marketing:
✅ Search Authority: Tailored SEO strategies designed to capture high-volume traffic and secure your brand’s position at the top of search results.
✅ Performance-Driven Partnerships: I build and scale affiliate ecosystems that turn industry voices and top-tier publishers into a commission-only sales force for your brand.
✅ Conversion Optimization: I ensure that once your SEO and affiliate traffic arrives, your site is architected to turn visitors into lifelong loyalists.
✅ Scalable Systems: I don't just "do tasks"—I build a repeatable marketing engine that generates compounding revenue and high-authority backlinks even when you aren't watching.
Your brand’s growth shouldn't be a guessing game. If you're ready to dominate search and scale through high-performance partnerships, I’d love to hear about your current goals.
Let’s talk discuss how we can build your self-sustaining revenue engine!

Backlinks don't come from templates. They come from outreach emails real editors actually answer. I've spent 3+ years earning white-hat links for US clients, contributing to a 25% organic traffic increase.
What I do:
1. Link building & email outreach — prospecting, personalized pitches, guest posts, niche edits, placement tracking in a client-ready spreadsheet
2. Guest post writing (AI-assisted) — I write the content too, so you're not paying two freelancers
3. Local citations — building, cleanup, and NAP consistency (tracked in a client-ready spreadsheet)
4. On-page SEO — optimized 20+ articles/month using SEMrush, Ahrefs, and SurferSEO
5. Local SEO support — Google Business Profile and Yelp optimization, citations, Local Service Ads disputes
6. General VA support — email marketing campaigns, WordPress publishing, 404 fixes, data research, Canva graphics, and clear daily/weekly reporting
Recent work:
*Built contextual backlinks for event ticketing and venue websites through targeted listing and outreach campaigns, grew organic visibility and ticket sales for a new e-commerce site in its first campaign cycle
*Optimized 20+ articles/month for a US digital marketing client, contributing to a 25% organic traffic increase
*Managed GBP optimization and LSA disputes for a US agency's law-firm clients
Why my outreach converts:
Link building is a writing job and I'm a Licensed Professional Teacher (English major). My pitches are personalized, clear, and professional, which is why editors reply. I work US hours (EST/PST), respond within 2 business hours during my window, and send an EOD report so you always know what got done.
A good fit if you: run an SEO/marketing agency needing reliable white-label link building, or a business that wants steady, penalty-safe backlinks.
Not a fit if you: want PBNs, paid link schemes, or spam outreach. I only do white-hat, and that protects your site.
Next step: Message me your website and target keywords, and I'll send 10 real link prospects for your niche within 24 hours, free, so you can judge my work before spending anything.
