About

Seven-plus years in performance marketing, now spent building what measures whether AI can find you at all.

Growth and SEO specialist by background, AI-native MarTech builder by current focus. The tooling and research here measure AI retrievability directly, rather than just writing about it.

/ Summary

Standard performance marketing on paper: SEO, paid media, analytics, conversion optimisation. What's changed is the target. The work now goes toward proving a brand is retrievable by AI systems, not just ranking it.

Track record

Seven-plus years across SEO, growth and performance marketing, spanning 30-plus client accounts, spent mostly on the technical and entity side of search rather than campaign management alone.

Shipped so far

Two tools in production, an AI retrievability audit platform and an AI marketing operations platform, with two more in active development.

Published research

An independent whitepaper series on generative engine optimisation, citation behaviour, entity analysis and AI retrieval systems: four papers published, a fifth underway.

Expertise

Both sides of search: the traditional discipline and the emerging one.

On one side, the traditional discipline: technical, on-page, off-page and e-commerce SEO, paid media across Google, Bing and Meta, conversion optimisation, and the analytics stack (GA4, GTM, attribution and funnel reporting) that ties it to revenue. On the other, the emerging one: AI retrievability auditing, citation tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and the entity and knowledge-graph work that underpins generative engine optimisation. Seven-plus years cover both, with the balance shifting steadily toward the second.
