Imagine you opened a shopโฆ
But itโs in the middle of a desert.
No roads.
No signs.
No people.

Your shop is on a busy road
People can easily find it
And customers walk in every day
Thatโs what SEO does.
SEO is not technical.
It simply helps people find you when they are already looking.

No SEO = No visitors
Good SEO = More customers

I can help bring it to the main road.

Search is changing fast.
Itโs no longer just about ranking on Google.
Now itโs about being found, understood, and recommended.
Letโs break it down simply:

Goal: Rank on search engines

Structured content (FAQs, snippets)
๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐:

๐๐๐ (๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง)
Goal: Get mentioned by AI tools
Content clarity + authority
Context-rich information
Trustworthy and well-structured pages
๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐:
You ask AI (like ChatGPT) โ it recommends a website
What Most People Do Wrong
They only focus on SEO.
But today, visibility =
SEO + AEO + GEO combined
If you ignore AEO and GEO, youโre missing future traffic.

I help websites grow by optimizing content for:
Search engines (SEO)
Answer engines (AEO)
AI platforms (GEO)
So your website doesnโt just rankโฆ it gets discovered everywhere.

Letโs connect.
The shift to GEO is fascinating, especially for multilingual markets.
In regions like the Caucasus, AI engines often struggle with transliteration and local nuances.
Focusing on entity-based content architecture (using the Kapferer model for brands) helps AI 'understand' the...
When does a project stop serving your portfolio? ๐
Iโm currently working on a new website.
My work, knowledge, and vision have evolved a lot since I built the current one. Honestly, I think I disliked it about a month after launchingโฆ but it still did its job. It helped me share my work and build a business.
Now Iโm moving into a more intentional direction, and Iโm rethinking what actually deserves a place in my portfolio.
I know this isnโt always a clear or easy decision. So Iโm sharing a few thoughts Iโve been using to evaluate my own work.
Would really love your perspective on this.
How do you decide what stays and what goes?
I feel this a lot.
For me, a project stops serving the portfolio when it no longer reflects how I think โ not just how it looks.
Sometimes it can still be โgood work,โ but if it doesnโt represent your current depth or standards, it starts creating the wrong expectations.
I need honest feedback: what would make you stay longer on a case study? ๐ค
I recently saw a recommendation in Contraโs dashboard about going deeper on projects to improve portfolio quality, and it made me question how I am presenting my own work.
I tend to write a lot. I like explaining the thinking, the systems, the decisions. But I honestly do not know if people are actually reading it, or just scrolling through the visuals.
I have been revisiting projects like BASYX and asking myself. Is this a portfolio for designers, or for the person hiring me?
Would really appreciate honest feedback. Is this too much copy?
Do you read case studies fully, or just scan?
What actually makes you stop and pay attention?
Honestly the visuals do the scanning, the copy does the convincing โ you need both, just don't front-load the text
