Hi, I’m Asad - an Upwork Expert-Vetted SEO (Top 1%) laser-focused on AI search visibility! Search is undergoing its biggest algorithmic refactor since PageRank. AI engines - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Google SGE - now rely on vector embeddings, entity recognition, and retrieval-augmented generation to surface zero-click answers. Sites that ship clean JSON-LD, consistent canonical signals, and demonstrable E-E-A-T have the best chance of being cited inside these conversational results. With 16 years bridging technical SEO and machine-learning workflows, I help brands build the right foundations for traditional search engine and more importantly, AI visibility. That means tightening technical architecture, enriching structured data, aligning content with knowledge-graph entities, earning authoritative references, and continuously testing pages against live LLM outputs. The payoff: your brand becomes the trusted source in AI answers while retaining strong positions in traditional SERPs. 🌟 What I Deliver • AI Search Optimization - Schema-infused content, entity disambiguation, and vector-friendly passages that LLMs surface and cite • Technical Excellence - HTTP/2 performance tuning, Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP), HSTS enforcement, and crawl-budget sculpting • Semantic On-Page SEO - NLP-clustered keyword sets, TF-IDF tuned copy, and knowledge-graph aware internal linking • Authority Building - Tier-one digital PR, niche-relevant backlinks, and contextual citations that feed embedding indices • Transparent Reporting - Real-time Looker dashboards, SERP & LLM recall metrics, and iterative data-driven playbooks 🔧 My Methodology 1. Architect - Parse server logs, minify assets, implement HTTP/3, and calibrate robots.txt plus XML sitemaps 2. Structure - Deploy multi-type JSON-LD (FAQ, HowTo, Product, WebPage) and canonical chains to fortify entity graphs 3. Align - Produce intent vectors via embeddings, optimize headings, and weave semantically related anchor-text clusters 4. Amplify - Launch outreach that garners high DR links, brand mentions, and structured citations across high-trust domains 5. Validate - Conduct LLM prompt sweeps, RAG retrieval tests, and monitor vector similarity to ensure persistent AI visibility 🏅 Recognition • Founder, Dabaran Inc. (Chicago, since 2008) • Member, Forbes Communications Council • Certified Mentor, SCORE (SBA) • Honored by Clutch, UpCity, and the Chicago Chamber of Commerce 📈 Ready to Lead in AI Search? Invite me to your project and let’s craft an SEO strategy that secures citations in AI answers and delivers lasting organic growth.
