Bengaluru · 4+ years · updated 19 October 2026
How to work together
Three ways, pick one.
A senior in-house seat that owns organic social, ORM, SEO and AEO. This is the job I do at Masai School.
Ask about a full-time role- Owns the channels and the numbers
- Works inside your team and tools
- Documents what works so it repeats
A defined piece of work: a site build, an AEO audit, a LinkedIn series. The first deliverable lands inside two weeks.
Ask about a freelance project- Scope written down before work starts
- One named constraint, not a wish list
- A handover your team can run
Ongoing work, only if the first month's numbers justify it.
Ask about a retainer- Monthly report against a baseline
- Fewer channels, run properly
- Continues only if the numbers justify it
What I work on
Five things, each run as a system.
SEO
Technical fixes, content and internal links.
SEO services
AEO
Pages ChatGPT and AI Overviews can quote.
AEO service
Organic social
Instagram and LinkedIn as repeatable series.
LinkedIn marketing
ORM
What shows up when someone searches your name.

Websites built for search
One page per buyer intent, server-rendered, schema on every template.

Fit
Who I am right for.
Good fit
- Founders who need a senior marketer before hiring a team.
- Marketing leads short of hands on SEO, AEO or organic social.
- Companies entering India or the UAE with no organic plan.
- Sites whose traffic grows but enquiries do not.
- Brands that want to know what ChatGPT says about them.
Not a fit
- You want 40 blog posts a month.
- You want SEO without explaining the business.
- Follower counts matter more to you than enquiries.
How it runs
The first month, step by step.
Something ships in two weeks.
Your site, accounts and data. What is working, and what is only busy.
People cannot find you, or they do not trust you. Fix one first.
A page, a series or a fix, live and measured. No long audit first.
What moved, what did not, and what changes next month.
What I will not do
- Guarantee rankings or citations. No engine promises either.
- Buy followers or reviews.
- Invent proof: no made-up clients, quotes or numbers.
- Write 40 blog posts a month.
- Do SEO without learning the business first.
- Treat one viral post as a plan.
Start here
Pick your situation.
Each points to the page that helps first.
Fix the path to the enquiry before buying more traffic.
Start with the market page, then the plan.
Run a fixed question panel first. It takes an afternoon.
Judge on checkable work, not titles. These pages say how.
Audit what ranks for your name before anything else.

Questions
Asked most.
Are you available for hire?
Yes, for senior in-house roles and a few freelance projects, from Bengaluru. My markets are India and the UAE, with remote work elsewhere.
What do you work on?
SEO, AEO, organic social, ORM and websites built for search. Each runs as a system with a baseline and a monthly report.
What does the first month look like?
Read what exists, pick one constraint, ship something in two weeks, then report. There is no long audit before anything ships.
Do you guarantee rankings or citations?
No. No one controls either, and AEO has limits worth knowing.
What do you charge?
I do not publish rates. Send the brief, and the first reply covers scope and what it would take.
