I help agencies find exactly where their SEO operations break, then either show them how to fix it or bring in my team to run it for them.
About Me
I've been on both sides of the SEO agency problem.
I founded and ran W3whiz for 9 years, building an SEO agency from the ground up, managing teams, and serving clients across competitive niches. I know exactly where the cracks appear when an agency tries to grow without fixing its operations first.
Then I spent 2+ years at Search Atlas as Product Manager, managing a team of 5 engineers to build the internal tools that 7-figure SEO agencies needed to scale without adding headcount.
Here's what that experience gave me: I've seen how hundreds of agencies operate from the inside of a platform they all used. I know where they all hit the same walls. And I know exactly what fixes it.
Most agency owners know their business better than anyone, but that's also the problem. When you're inside it every day, you stop seeing what's actually broken. I bring the outside perspective that makes the bottleneck obvious.
That's why agencies come to me with two different problems. Some want help fixing what's broken inside their own operations, so they can run it themselves going forward. Others don't want to fix it themselves at all: they just want the SEO and AI-visibility work off their plate, done right, under their own brand. I do both.

What I Do
One identity, two ways to work with me.
For agencies who want to fix it themselves.
I map your current operations end to end (reporting, fulfillment, client communication, internal handoffs) and identify exactly where manual work is costing you time and revenue.
I define what needs to be automated, in what order, and what it should do. You get a prioritised build plan your team can execute immediately, with no guesswork and no wasted sprints.
I stay until it ships. Whether that means directing your engineers through the build or pointing you to the right platform, I make sure the right solution gets implemented, not just recommended.
Once it's built, I train your team to run it themselves. You're not stuck calling me every time something needs adjusting.
I check back in every quarter to make sure the new process actually stuck, not quietly drifted back to the old habits.
For agencies who'd rather it wasn't their problem. It's my in-house team, not a black box of subcontractors: I manage delivery directly.
Crawl issues, indexation, site speed, structured data, migrations: the technical layer most agencies don't have the bandwidth to own properly.
Briefs through published, on page optimized. Content your team doesn't have to write, edit, or chase writers for.
Visibility inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews: the newest layer of search, and the one most agencies aren't set up for yet.
Local pack rankings, citations, and Google Business Profile management for every location a client operates in.
Client-facing dashboards you can hand straight to your own client, branded as your work, not mine.
