    Who you’d be working with

    I lead the work. Personally.

    I’m Rakesh Kumar. I work with SaaS companies and local businesses across the US, UK, Europe and the UAE, from my base in India. Ten-plus years of SEO, AI SEO, AEO, GEO, local SEO and paid. Hands on, every account. If we work together, the person on the call is the person leading your work. No account manager in between.

    Two things I believe

    Good businesses get overlooked.

    It’s the question I’ve spent a decade on. The answer is rarely “more content”. It’s usually the wrong content, or the right content nobody can find.

    No copy-paste strategies.

    Every engagement starts with your numbers, your customers and your competitors. Then we go after the biggest opportunities, not the easiest ones.

    How I work

    I don’t start with tactics. I start with your business.

    Five steps, same order every time. Skipping the first two is how budgets get wasted.

    1. Understand

      Your business, your customers, your competitors, your goals. Before I touch a single tactic.

    2. Audit

      SEO, AI visibility, content, social, paid, conversion paths. All of it, honestly.

    3. Prioritize

      The opportunities with the biggest upside first, not the easiest wins.

    4. Execute

      The right channels, in the right order. Done by me, not handed off.

    5. Measure

      Visibility, qualified traffic, leads, revenue. Not vanity metrics.

    Straight talk

    Things I say to every client.

    Short answers to the questions I get most. If yours isn’t here, ask me, you’ll get the same straight answer.

    Ask me about yours
    1. GEO

      What is GEO, in plain English?

      Getting your business into the answers AI tools give, not just the links Google shows.

    2. AI SEO

      AI SEO vs traditional SEO: what’s actually changing?

      Google still matters. But more people now ask a chat box first, and it has to know you exist.

    3. AI search

      How does a small business prepare for AI search?

      Clear pages, clear answers, real reviews. The robots and the people want the same thing.

    4. Conversion

      Traffic but no leads?

      Then the traffic is wrong, or the page is. It’s usually the page.

    5. Startup growth

      SEO or PPC first?

      PPC to learn what converts. SEO so you can stop paying for it.

    6. SMM

      Does social media help SEO?

      Not directly. But it’s where trust gets built before the search ever happens.

    How strategy changes by business type

    Different business, different plan.

    The goal is never just more traffic. It's Visibility → Qualified Traffic → Leads → Customers → Revenue, but how you get there depends entirely on what kind of business you run.

    SAAS

    Traffic that becomes trials and demos.

    Commercial-intent content, comparison pages and product-led SEO, not just blog traffic that never converts.

    B2B

    Visibility with the people who actually buy.

    Longer sales cycles need content and search visibility built around how B2B buyers actually research and decide.

    LOCAL BUSINESSES

    Calls, directions and bookings.

    Google Business Profile, local pack rankings and review strategy, the signals that turn nearby searches into customers.

    STARTUPS

    The highest-impact channel first.

    Limited budget and no time to waste, prioritized around what will actually move the needle fastest.

    SMBS

    Compete with bigger budgets, smartly.

    You don't need a bigger budget than the competition, you need a sharper strategy than they're running.

    Why work with me

    You don't need another marketing vendor.

    You need someone who understands the business behind the marketing. I don't believe in chasing rankings, followers or clicks simply because they look good in a report.

    Visibility → Qualified Traffic → Leads → Growth

    Business First

    Marketing starts with understanding your business, not with a template.

    Data Driven

    Decisions should be supported by real data, not by hunches.

    Multi-Channel

    SEO, AI search, social and PPC should work together, not in silos.

    Long-Term Thinking

    Build assets that continue creating value long after the project ends.

    Fit check

    Who this is for, and who it isn't.

    This is a good fit if you're...

    • A SaaS or B2B company that wants traffic which actually turns into demos and trials
    • A local business that wants to win the map pack and turn searches into calls
    • A startup or SMB that needs to prioritize the one channel that matters most right now
    • Looking for sustainable, compounding visibility, not a quick spike that disappears
    • Ready to invest in understanding your business before jumping to tactics

    This probably isn't a fit if you're...

    • Looking for guaranteed page-one rankings or a specific traffic number by a fixed date
    • Expecting overnight results from organic SEO
    • Not willing to invest in fixing real technical or content issues once they're found
    • Looking for the cheapest possible option rather than the right strategy
    FAQ

    Questions I get asked a lot.

    What's the difference between SEO, AI SEO, AEO and GEO?

    SEO is about ranking in traditional Google search. AI SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are about being cited and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Gemini. The strategies overlap, structured content, clear answers, strong entities, but each channel needs its own optimization. I work across all four so you're visible wherever your customers are actually searching.

    How soon will I see results?

    Technical fixes and Local SEO / Google Business Profile improvements can show movement within 4–8 weeks. Competitive organic SEO and AI search visibility usually take 3–6 months to compound, the Canary Mail and BigContacts case studies above both hit their major results around the 6-month mark. PPC can drive qualified traffic almost immediately since it's paid placement rather than earned ranking.

    Do you work with startups and small businesses, or only larger companies?

    Both. My work spans SaaS & B2B companies (BigContacts, Canary Mail) and local service businesses (Dubai Housekeeping). What changes is the strategy, not the effort, a local business needs Google Business Profile and citation work, while a SaaS company needs commercial-intent content and topical authority. I build the plan around your business, not a template.

    What's included in the free growth audit?

    I'll review your website across SEO, AI search visibility, content, technical health, conversion paths, social presence and paid advertising, then send you a prioritized list of the opportunities with the biggest potential impact, no obligation to work together afterward.

    Do you offer one-off projects or ongoing work?

    Both. Technical audits, content strategy and one-time cleanups work well as fixed-scope projects. Organic visibility, content production and AI search optimization are ongoing by nature, so most clients move to a monthly retainer once the initial audit and roadmap are done.

    How do you measure success?

    Visibility → Qualified Traffic → Leads → Growth. I track rankings and AI citations, but the numbers that actually matter are qualified traffic, demo sign-ups, form fills, calls and revenue, not just clicks. Every case study above reports the business outcome, not just the ranking.

    Do you write content yourself, or just provide strategy?

    I handle strategy, technical SEO, keyword research, on-page optimization and campaign management directly. For high-volume content production, I work with a content team under my direction so quality and search intent stay consistent, you always know who's accountable for the result.
