Why should I hire André? Ask the AI.

In July 2026, logged-out tests put that exact question to the AI platforms. ChatGPT answered with my published case-study numbers, and Google AI Overviews listed me by name among the top AI Search experts for non-branded queries. Screenshots, not promises:

How I approach organic growth

Find what matters

Audit the site, the competitive landscape, and the market to identify the specific problems holding visibility back and the opportunities worth pursuing. Not a 60-page report. A clear picture of what to fix and why.

Fix the foundations

The technical and structural work that makes everything else possible. Most sites have issues that silently prevent them from ranking. Fix those first, because nothing else compounds until the foundation is right.

Build presence across search and AI

Google is one surface. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews are others. Build visibility across all of them so that when someone searches for what the business offers, it's the answer, not a competitor.

Measure, learn, compound

Track results across every platform, focus on the metrics that connect to revenue, and double down on what works. Organic growth compounds. The work done in month one still drives results in month twelve.

A brand with a 4,000-page website that was quietly competing against itself. Pages fighting each other in Google, invisible in AI search results, and no clear strategy connecting any of it to revenue. I restructured the foundations, fixed the conflicts, and built the site's presence into AI-generated search results. In 12 months: consistent growth, AI visibility across multiple platforms, and a measurable revenue impact.

Not all SEO work moves revenue. I focus on the work that does.

Most websites have hundreds to thousands of pages. A handful of them drive the majority of revenue. The job is finding those pages, making them perform, and building the supporting structure around them. Everything connects back to one question: does this grow revenue or not?

Buyers don't convert on their first search. They move from researching a problem to comparing solutions and providers over days or weeks. At every stage, the brand needs to be the one they find, whether that's on Google, in a ChatGPT recommendation, or in an AI Overview. That requires a visibility strategy that captures them across the full journey.

Everything starts with understanding the business, the market, and where the real opportunities are.

The SEO work that actually grows revenue. Building technical foundations, creating content that ranks, and strengthening the signals that make a site compound visibility over time.

  • Technical audit and remediation
  • Search intent mapping and content strategy
  • On-page optimisation
  • Internal linking architecture
  • Backlink audit, cleanup, and strategic link acquisition
  • Monthly reporting and analysis

Answer & Generative Engine Optimisation (AEO/GEO)

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Mode for a recommendation, will they mention the brand? That's the question AEO/GEO exists to answer.

  • AI answer visibility audit
  • Entity building & knowledge graph optimisation
  • Structured data & schema markup
  • Content structured for AI citation
  • Brand mention & citation consistency
  • AI citation monitoring & reporting

Content Strategy & Creation

Content built to rank on Google and get cited by AI, not just to fill a page. Every piece maps to what the target audience is searching for and where they are in their buying journey.

  • Content gap analysis
  • Product and category page optimisation
  • Long-form editorial content
  • FAQ content for featured snippets and AI answers
  • Content calendar planning

SEO Consultancy & Strategy

For teams that need expert direction, businesses starting from scratch, or in-house SEO functions that need a strategic roadmap.

  • Strategy sessions
  • SEO roadmap for new sites or launches
  • Team oversight
  • Competitor analysis
  • Training and workshops

Focused. Hands-on. Results-first.

Proven where it's hardest

My track record is in some of the most competitive organic search verticals online, where brands compete against platforms with functionally unlimited budgets. The methodology that delivered results there is built on how search engines and AI systems actually work, not on industry-specific tricks. It transfers, and it has: I've since delivered strategy and audit work across banking, SaaS analytics, home services, and tourism.

Ahead of the AI curve

While most businesses weren't yet thinking about AI search visibility, I was already building for it, with real data to back it up.

Strategy to execution

I work across the full stack of SEO as needed: technical, on-page, content, authority building, and AI search optimisation. I do the work, own the outcomes, and communicate clearly about what's happening and why.

Every action tied to revenue

No vanity metrics. Every recommendation, every piece of content, every technical fix connects to a business outcome. If it doesn't grow visibility or revenue, it doesn't get prioritised.

Let's talk.

Whether you're hiring for an SEO or AEO/GEO role, looking for help with organic visibility, or want to discuss a collaboration, I'm always happy to hear from people working on interesting problems.
