The Search Shift

Search isn’t just Google anymore…
but most SEO strategies were built for a world that no longer exists.

Whether you’re a web design agency, a B2B SaaS team, or a growing company, the same shift is causing the same core problems right now.

Problem 01

You’re invisible in AI-generated answers and LLM chatbots.

Your competitors are getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews. Your brand isn’t. And nobody on your team knows why or where to start with an AI visibility strategy.

Problem 02

Traffic is down and the old playbook isn’t working.

Zero-click results. AI summaries. Changing algorithms. The tactics that drove rankings three years ago are producing diminishing returns, and you need to build a new framework.

Problem 03

You need a clear strategy, not more content to consume.

There’s no shortage of SEO advice. What’s missing is a structured, prioritized plan built for your specific situation, and a senior advisor who’s done it before to help guide you through it.

I’ve spent 17+ years building search visibility strategies through every major shift: Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird, AI Overviews.
The companies that understand the new signals and move first will win. Let’s make sure yours is one of them.

Who I Work Best With

Do any of these sound like you?

My work is structured, systemized, and deliverables-based, and I’ve found I get the best results for the following types of businesses.

🖥️

Web Design & Digital Agencies

You build great sites. However, your clients aren’t being found on Google and in AI.

Your clients are asking about SEO and AI visibility. You want a trusted expert to deliver it under your brand. White-label audits, roadmaps, and embedded advisory built for agencies.

🚀

B2B SaaS Companies

You’re scaling. You need a fractional SEO advisor who speaks your language and gets things done.

You have a product, a team, and growth targets, but no dedicated SEO and AI visibility strategist guiding the work. I act as your embedded advisor, setting direction and helping your team execute.

📈

Mid-Market & In-House Teams

You have a great marketing team, but no one who owns SEO or AI visibility.

You’re a $5M–$50M company with marketers doing it all. I build the strategy, the roadmap, and the scoring framework so your team can finally execute with clarity and efficiency.

The Process

What to expect once we get started.

Every engagement follows the same four phases, built to get you from clarity to execution as efficiently as possible.

1

Kickoff

We start by getting to know your business. I’ll ask about your goals, your audience, your competitors, and what’s already been tried. This isn’t a simple checklist: it’s a real conversation so I understand the full picture before getting started and we’re aligned on goals and objectives.

2

Baseline & Diagnosis

I conduct a thorough SEO and AI visibility audit assessing your technical health, content coverage, keyword positioning, and how you’re showing up in AI-generated answers. You get a scored baseline and a clear diagnosis of your highest-leverage opportunities, ranked by impact.

3

Roadmap & Deliverables

You receive a 30/60/90-day prioritized plan built around your specific situation. Again, not a generic checklist. Along with supporting documents, briefs, and guidance your team can act on immediately. This is work product you own outright, regardless of what comes next.

4

Advisory or Handoff

Most clients choose to continue with ongoing advisory on a monthly retainer. I stay involved, keep the strategy on track, and help your team navigate. But if you’re ready to take full ownership, I’ll hand everything off cleanly and completely. You’re never locked in. The choice is always yours.

Testimonials

What sets Tarun apart is his laser-focused approach to achieving results. When we came to him with specific, ambitious SEO goals, he didn’t just promise outcomes—he delivered them in record time. His ability to cut through the noise and zero in on what matters most has been instrumental to our success.

Beyond his tactical excellence, Tarun brings tremendous holistic knowledge in digital marketing that elevates every conversation. He doesn’t just execute tasks; he understands the broader strategic picture and how each piece fits together. This depth of understanding has made him an invaluable thought partner, not just a vendor.

I can’t decide which of his qualities I most appreciate — I might name his thoroughness, professionalism, and knowledge, but I really think it’s his curiosity and adventurousness that I’d most like to praise. Highly recommended out-of-the-box thinker.
