FAQ

Frequently asked questions

General questions about my services and expertise answered.

How many years of experience do you have in digital marketing?

I’ve been working in digital marketing since 2013, gaining hands-on experience building websites and delivering digital marketing services for a wide range of clients. I started in SEO and progressively expanded into web analytics, content marketing, web development, affiliate marketing and adjacent areas, building a well-rounded expertise across the digital landscape.

What SEO services do you offer exactly?

I cover the entire SEO spectrum from in-depth SEO audits and technical optimization to keyword strategy, content production, local SEO, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Whether you need a one-time engagement or ongoing support, I have you covered.

Are you available for consulting calls before hiring?

Absolutely. I offer a free, non-binding initial call where we discuss your goals, requirements, and growth potential — no strings attached. This way I can provide a transparent overview of substantial actions to drive growth for your website and we determine whether we’re a good fit before any commitment is made.

Do you work independently or with a team?

I work as an independent freelancer, which means you always have a single, dedicated point of contact. That said, I have a trusted network of experienced professionals spanning software engineering, AI, social media marketing, and more, that I can bring in when a project scope calls for it.

How do you integrate AI into digital marketing workflows?

Beyond common use cases like content production, I leverage AI across a wide range of SEO tasks, including keyword analysis, internal linking optimization, content gap identification, and workflow automation. This allows for smarter, faster execution without sacrificing quality.

What sets you apart from other SEO specialists?

My cross-disciplinary expertise is my biggest differentiator. Having a background in web development means I can diagnose technical SEO issues at a deeper level than most SEO consultants. My experience in AI enables highly efficient workflows, significantly reducing costs compared to traditional service providers. Additionally my holistic understanding of the digital ecosystem means SEO strategies are designed and implemented with the full picture in mind.

Do you offer one-time SEO audits or ongoing retainers?

I offer both. Whether you need a comprehensive one-time SEO audit to identify opportunities and issues, or a long-term retainer for continuous optimization and growth, I offer flexible engagement models tailored to your needs and budget.

What tools do you use?

I rely on a combination of Google’s own suite (such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Looker Studio, Keyword Planner, and PageSpeed Insights) alongside professional third-party tools like Screaming Frog for technical SEO, Semrush for competitive research, and Figma for wireframes and mockups. I also leverage custom-developed tools for specific analytical needs which I’ve built over the years.

Do you provide SEO reporting and how often?

Yes, I provide extensive monthly reports covering all key performance indicators, traffic trends, ranking movements, and actionable insights. For clients who prefer a closer pulse on progress, weekly reporting is also available.

What’s your technical background?

My technical foundation is rooted in WordPress development, where I’ve built websites including custom themes and plugins. I’ve also worked with JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js, which together have given me solid proficiency in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and Python.
