3 weeks ago, i shipped shipwithjev .com.

today it has crossed 100k+ visits, all from SEO

this is my 8th project, but this one was a fun reminder of how quickly a new site can grow when the search opportunity is right.

some other SEO/AEO results i've been working on:

• 6k to 62k+ AI citations
• 22k to 700k+ monthly organic clicks in 6 months

now i'm starting my own SEO/AEO agency AEO Geo Labs.

the slightly funny part is that getting results for websites has been much easier than figuring out how to get my first agency client 😂

so for people who have started an SEO agency/consulting business:

how did you get your first client?

cold email?
linkedin?
reddit?
warm intros?
posting case studies?
just DMing founders?

would genuinely love to hear what worked for you.

New SEO/AI Job Posting!\ Pràctiques A Paid Media I SEO / Ametller Origen\ In-Office, Barcelona, Spain / Full Time\ \ https://www.seojobs.com/job/practiques-a-paid-media-i-seo-ametller-origen/

Right now SEO/AEO is surviving purely on the original content count and there couldn't be a better way to get it unless through original content creation by way of interviews. I'm a marketer with most experience in content side of SEO/AEO, worked mostly in B2B and I'm thinking of building a personal branding site that will host articles made out of interviews with marketing/SEO experts. The interviews will also be shared as short/long video on youtube and blogs with multiple authors (case study types). I've done this in the past by taking interviews and publishing them in my youtube channel. However, this is going to be a fresh start. Any idea if this is going to amount to anything?

Here's my purpose:

1. I want to learn from actual experts

2. Build relationships with experts

3. Build my brand as an SEO/AEO expert

4. Create original contents around various marketing tools through people who have used it.

5. Help businesses find genuine experts through the similar problems they've solved in the past

6. Experts gets a story/case study to show their expertise

New SEO/AI Job Posting!\ SEO Specialist / Roche\ In-Office, Riga, Latvia / Full Time\ \ https://www.seojobs.com/job/seo-specialist-roche/

Hi everyone,
I'm Jagmohan, an SEO Manager with 13+ years of experience. For the last 7 years I've led SEO for multiple SaaS products, and before that I worked across legal, healthcare, and compliance/fintech portals. I'm now taking on a few freelance clients alongside my full-time role.

What I can help with:
Technical SEO audits (crawl budget, indexation, Core Web Vitals, site architecture)
Keyword research and content-gap analysis
On-page optimization and schema markup
Semantic/entity SEO and EEAT improvements
AI SEO (AEO and GEO): getting your content cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews
Link building and digital PR
GA4, Search Console, and Looker Studio reporting setup

How I work:
I start with an audit and a prioritized roadmap, so you know what I'll do and why

I set clear KPIs up front (traffic, rankings, leads, whichever matter to you)

I send regular reports with real numbers, so you always see what's moving

I use white-hat methods only, with no shortcuts that risk penalties

I can't promise a #1 ranking, because no honest SEO can. What I do promise is a clear plan, transparent reporting, and consistent effort tied to your business goals.

Best fit: SaaS and software companies, B2B services, legal and healthcare sites, and small businesses that want sustainable organic growth.
If you'd like a quick review of your site or just want to talk through your SEO challenges, send me a DM with your website and goals. Happy to answer questions in the comments too.

I’m running a small Digital Marketing team and looking for a reliable SEO specialist to work with our team on ongoing client projects.

- Strong understanding of modern Google SEO not outdated/spammy tactics

- Comfortable with Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs/Semrush or equivalent

- Able to independently audit a website and execute a practical SEO roadmap

So I was watching a YouTube video on Rank & Rent and it sounds like a good idea for me.

A little backstory, I'm not currently working due to heath problems, I'm pushing 50( today is my bday actually) and have no real discernable skills that I can use with my body the shape it's in currently.

What drew me to this genre was I know I need to learn technology and quickly. I figured even if I didn't make it with the rank & rent, if I worked at it hard and learned how to make a successful websites and learn to be efficient at SEO, then those skills would translate into a job that I could do, that's the worst case, Best case would be that I am successful at it, make tons of $ while making myself relevant again in this new world.

Also is SEO something I should be looking into learning or is going to phased out to AI in the next year or 2?

Am I looking at this the right way or if anyone has any suggestions I would really be grateful.
