Most WordPress sites I audit rank decently on Google but have zero
presence in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews. That's
the visibility gap I specialize in fixing.
I'm Vancho, an AI SEO and Technical SEO Specialist with hands-on
training in GEO, AEO, and LLM Optimization. I help WordPress sites,
SaaS companies, finance, automotive, and local businesses show up
in both Google and AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity,
and Gemini.
I use Claude AI and Perplexity as active research tools alongside
Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, and Google Search Console, because technical
SEO and AI visibility work together, not separately.
AI SEO, GEO, AEO, LLM Optimization
Content structuring for LLM citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity,
Gemini, Claude, and Copilot. Featured snippets, People Also Ask, and
AI Overviews work. Brand mentions and entity signals for AI
authority building. Technical groundwork that helps AI systems
understand and trust a site, including clean structured data and
well-organized FAQ content. E-E-A-T signals and keyword research
built around how people search using AI.
Technical SEO
Full site audits covering crawl errors, redirects, indexing, robots
txt, and sitemaps. Core Web Vitals and page speed work. Structured
data and schema markup. Canonical, hreflang, and duplicate content
fixes. JavaScript SEO and rendering issues on frameworks like
Next.js. Search Console error resolution and performance fixes.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Google Business Profile setup and optimization. Local keyword
research and on-page local signals. NAP consistency and
LocalBusiness schema. Local visibility tracking through Search
Console and Analytics. Optimization for near me searches.
On Page SEO
Keyword research covering exact match, broad match, long-tail, and
LSI terms. Title tags, meta descriptions, and heading structure.
Internal linking, image optimization, and clean URL structure.
Content optimization using NeuronWriter and SurferSEO.
Off Page SEO and Digital PR
Editorial outreach and placements on Forbes, tech, and industry
portals. Mention building and entity signals, since unlinked brand
mentions tend to correlate more strongly with AI citation than
backlinks alone. Brand presence on authoritative platforms.
Citation strategy aimed at publications that AI models actually
cite. Backlink audits and toxic link cleanup.
Tools
Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, NeuronWriter,
SurferSEO, Claude AI, Perplexity, Originality.ai, Yoast SEO.
Background
HubSpot SEO. Udemy training in LLM, GEO, and AEO. Udemy Local SEO
and SEO Masterclass. NeuronWriter Semantic SEO, scored 82 percent.
Yoast SEO. Creative Hub Digital Marketing, Forbes rated, 100 hours
ECTS.
Languages
English, plus Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, and Greek.
A real edge for regional SEO work and multilingual content across
Southeast Europe.
Why clients work with me
AI first approach covering Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and
AI Overviews. Technical depth that catches what other SEOs miss.
Off page and digital PR built on real editorial placements, not
spam links. An active AI workflow using Claude AI and Perplexity as
working tools, not just talking points. Current, practical training
in HubSpot SEO plus LLM, GEO, and AEO. A multilingual edge across
five Balkan languages. Clear, honest updates with no guessing games.
White hat only, zero domain risk.
Send me your URL and I'll show you exactly where you're losing
visibility in Google and in AI search, and what to fix first.

I'm an SEO specialist with 17 years of experience helping businesses grow organic visibility and revenue - not just on Google, but across the AI platforms customers are increasingly searching on, like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. My approach combines deep technical SEO with strategy built around your specific industry, so your brand gets found, trusted, and chosen wherever people are looking.
I develop data-driven SEO strategies, and no two businesses get the same playbook. I build and optimize the pages that actually get found - service pages, landing pages, FAQ sections, and content built around the exact questions your customers are searching for.

Most SEO work fails because it leans on cookie-cutter automation and bloated processes. Every strategy I deliver is hands-on and tailored to match your website's needs, not a generic checklist:
✔ Before anything else, I take the time to understand your business, your website, your competitors, and what actually works in your niche
✔ I dig into the right keywords, your audience's behavior, and the gaps we can exploit for lasting wins
✔ I build the strategy - technical, on-page, off-page, or a mix of all three
✔ If you don't have a team in place, I move into full execution myself
✏️ Bi-Weekly / Monthly Reporting:
Technical health improvements
Organic traffic dynamics
Organic keyword dynamics
Backlink monitoring
Keyword position tracking
AI mentions tracking
You'll have complete transparency into the work I'm doing and my pricing the whole way through.
📈 I optimize for where search is actually heading - not just Google, but ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, where a growing share of high-intent research now starts. 📈
Proof point: alongside client work, I've grown my own website from scratch to 50,000+ daily visitors - so when I tell you what works, it's because I've done it on my own traffic, not just theory.

Get the results you need with an SEO specialist that has seen it all. I have more than 10 years of experience in the search engine optimization world.
You’re likely looking for an SEO expert because of one or more of the following reasons:
⦿ Your website isn’t being found in the search engines.
⦿ Your website traffic has declined recently and you don’t know why.
⦿ Suddenly, your volume of incoming calls and leads has declined.
⦿ You’re starting a new website and want to ramp up a new business quickly.
If any of these four pain points ring a bell, rest assured, you’ve discovered the right SEO veteran. There’s a reason why I’m top rated plus and have helped over one hundred clients, providing search engine optimization solutions to answer Google’s ever-changing algorithm.
For more than 10 years, I’ve been providing SEO solutions for businesses wanting to expand their online presence, increase leads, and grow their revenue.
I offer the following services:
♕ Technical SEO Audit -
A comprehensive SEO audit is the fastest, most efficient way to determine why your website isn't ranking as highly as it should be. I recommend SEO audits for anyone who is having trouble ranking and needs solid, actionable advice on what to do next. An SEO audit can also be helpful for a business that recently started a website and wants to know where they can improve on their earliest pages. I will perform an in-depth analysis to assess your website's strengths and determine an SEO strategy. I will identify both the on-page and off-page factors affecting search positions. In addition, you will receive a comprehensive SEO audit report, including a competitive scorecard, backlink report, and future site strategy
♕ Keyword Research & Strategy -
In the world of Google’s Rankbrain, A.I, and modern search engine algorithms – traditional forms of keyword research just no longer apply. The modern digital landscape is forged by algorithms and indexed by robots created to understand how humans think – from intention all the way down to semantics. I offer effective keyword research strategies rooted in data and analytics to make you visible in SERPs and take your keyword performance to the next level.
⦿ Keyword Funneling
I use a keyword funnel approach to group each word, set of words, and phrases, relating to the intuitive step in the buyer’s journey. Every keyword a buyer enters into Google has an intention behind it. Find what words make your audience tick.
⦿ Keyword Research
Targeting the same keywords as everyone else won’t cut it. I look deep into the millions of Google’s search queries for so-called “Golden-nugget keywords,” which are the words & phrases that provide the highest likelihood to convert.
⦿ Keyword Mapping
I look at your website and determine what keywords are the best to target for different pages on your sites and content. This allows me to differentiate intent and narrow in your customer’s focus so they find what they want on your web pages.
♕ Local SEO
Improve your company’s local SEO rankings with Google My Business (GMB) optimization and attract high-intent customers. I will optimize your GMB profile and manage your online reputation to grow your local following. My local search engine optimization service gets you found in local search results by shoppers and clients. When your buyers search for your type of business online using a phrase + “near me” or a city name, powering your company’s growth through local SEO is a smart move. Whether you have a single location or multiple locations, I have proven strategies to create visibility with your buyers. Get your business discovered on Google Maps, Yelp, Mapquest, TripAdvisor, YellowPages and hundreds of other map services and local directories.
♕ On-page SEO
On-page SEO services are website page optimization services that focus on optimizing your website to be found on Google. The goal of on-page SEO is to help search engines, like Google, recognize your website for the words you want to rank for. This involves auditing your current website structure to identify areas of improvement to meet the SEO best practices.
♕ Off-page SEO
My off-site SEO services use respected and industry-recommended practices to attract natural and high-value links to your website. These links do more than build your backlink profile. They also help your company connect with users interested in your business, products, or services.
