SEO, AEO & GEO Content Strategy | Search Visibility That Drives Growth
Search is evolving, and content needs to do more than rank on Google. It needs to answer questions, build authority, and make brands discoverable across traditional search engines and AI-powered platforms.
This portfolio showcases my approach to creating search-focused content that combines Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) to help businesses strengthen their online visibility.
What I focus on:
SEO: Keyword research, search intent, on-page optimization, and content structured to improve organic visibility.
AEO: Clear, answer-focused content designed to address user questions and improve eligibility for featured snippets and answer-based search results.
GEO: Helpful, authoritative, well-structured content designed to improve a brand’s chances of being referenced in AI-generated responses.
Content Strategy: Creating valuable, reader-first content that aligns with business goals, audience needs, and search opportunities.
My goal is to create content that connects search visibility with real business outcomes—not just rankings and traffic, but relevance, authority, and opportunities for growth.

Proper Form — Social Media Branding System
A flexible social media system created for Proper Form as part of the wider brand identity.
The template system was designed to adapt across different post formats, banners and platforms while maintaining a consistent visual language.
Rather than repeating one rigid layout, the system gives the brand room to vary composition, imagery and content while remaining clearly recognizable.
Created by Lepisov Branding in collaboration with Creative Mints.
Logo design: Ilya Gorchanyuk
Creative direction: Dmitry Lepisov
Brand identity + social system: Lepisov Branding × Creative Mints
This is how a social system should work: strong enough rules that the brand reads at thumbnail size, loose enough that the feed never looks copy-pasted. Do you hand clients a Figma kit for this, or build it in something their team edits themselves?

The hero opens with a bold claim, SEO is dying.
The dark blue hero with the "SEO is dying" headline is a bold opener. The side by side chat cards make the GEO idea easy to get at a glance.
