AI search optimization · SEO · city, state, country

AI search optimization and SEO consultant for companies that should be the answer in their city, their state or their country.

I make a company the answer Google, Bing and AI assistants give in the markets it wants, from one city to a whole country: answer pages, one consistent entity, third-party proof, and measurement in the platforms' own reports. Seven properties, 149 countries in Google, every number traceable to a dated export.

The gap

Serving a market is not the same as being found in it.

A company that is strong at home has a name that works where people already know it. Outside that region, the buyer asks Google, Bing or an AI assistant, and the answer names whoever published the clearest answer to the question. Reputation does not travel on its own.

The test is simple: how many clients from outside your state arrived in the last twelve months with no referral and no outbound call? If the answer is close to zero, the problem is structure, not quality. That gap is measurable, and closing it is what I do.

From impression to action

AI visibility, measured: impressions inside Google AI, citations in Bing, sessions from ChatGPT.

Impressions are appearances in a search or AI experience. Clicks are recorded at the source. Sessions are recorded on the site. Key events are actions the site tracks. Leads and deals stay in the client's CRM. The portfolio totals below add each step only to itself.

What I do

What an AI search and SEO consultant delivers here: a place in the answer, in your city, your state or your country, measured.

Not a website. Not a campaign. An answer structure: what the company knows, written as answers to the buyer's questions, made legible to search engines and AI systems, confirmed by third parties and measured in their own reports. One person, one system, no hand-offs.

01

Positioning and market expansion

What the company already knows better than anyone, turned into the pages a buyer in another state or country reads first. Staged: region, state, country, abroad, in the languages the buyer uses.

02

Answer pages the company owns

Pages that answer the buyer's real questions, one question each, with lead capture and interaction tracking, built as one asset that stays with the business.

03

Search and AI visibility

Google, Bing and Yahoo rankings, and presence inside AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity and Gemini: entity work, structured data, third-party corroboration and content written to be quoted. AI search optimization and SEO, delivered as one system.

04

Measurement the owner can point at

Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and GA4 with key events, wired from day one. Impression, click, visit and action kept apart, with the export date on every figure. The same reports this site is built on.

Where I work

Four arenas, one method.

Client sites, my own products, rural land for foreign investors, and AI in healthcare. The discipline is the same in all four: answer the buyer's question, make the entity legible, publish the number with its date.

A

Client search and AI visibility

Answer pages, entity work, lead capture and event tracking (reading time, form started, form abandoned, slow page), built as one thing. Agrotec, Amo Embarque, Canil Gelbes Wasser, Sanick, Oxford School and Yofah are on the proof page.

B

Products I build and run

FalaMandra, a voice AI language tutor with users referred by ChatGPT and Copilot; UMARKT, a free real estate marketplace for western Santa Catarina; and an online perfume store where ChatGPT is the largest traffic source. I test the method on my own money first.

C

Rural land in Brazil for foreign investors

Director of Artificial Intelligence at Agrotec Imobiliária Rural since September 2026, after building its search and AI visibility as a consultant: demand generation and market intelligence for a rural real estate firm whose site is now found from dozens of countries, with the numbers on its case page. Qualified in real estate transactions (TTI, 2026) and in property appraisal (60 h, recognised by COFECI for CNAI registration); CRECI registration in progress. Brokerage is done by the licensed agency.

D

AI in healthcare, with physicians

Mentor on AI, development and digital positioning at be·aside, a bedside clinical reasoning platform founded by two intensive care physicians. Enap course on AI and the future of health systems (2026). No clinical claims, ever. The medicine is theirs.

In their words

What clients say

AgrotecImobiliária do Agro

Youssef built our Hub Rural and made it functional in very little time. Commodity data, several lead flows and over 30 pages, each one organically captured across AI search and Google, Bing and Yahoo. They surprised me. I never thought those could bring so many clients.

Canil Gelbes WasserWorking-line German Shepherds

Through his work, the kennel started appearing in German Shepherd searches across Brazil, bringing leads every single day. Incredible for a business that, before this, practically did not exist online.

YofahArabic Cuisine

Youssef built my whole digital structure and a complete lead and order flow. I got my first client from Google organically and at no cost, in the very first week. Highly recommend the work.

Amo EmbarqueCorporate travel · previous domain, June 2026

An AI assistant became our single largest source of website sessions, ahead of Bing and Google, with international traffic from six countries. All organic.

Oxford SchoolConversation school

He created our Google business profile and ranked us above competitors that had always been more established online. We receive organic clients every week and our positioning keeps improving across AI and search engines.

Who I am

I build the thing first. Then I make it findable.

I have practiced SEO since 2019 and GEO since 2025. Before consulting, I built and scaled my own e-commerce past R$1M in revenue, and grew a 1.4M-follower TikTok audience organically, plus a network of faceless accounts in the hundreds of thousands, then walked away from the largest because it was the wrong room. Building attention at scale is skill. Walking away from a vanity number is strategy. It taught me how attention and algorithms actually move, which is the same question AI search now answers.

Unlike most consultants, I do not just advise. I built the conversational AI agent for a government-funded education platform using the Claude API. So when I work on your AI visibility, I can build the monitoring, the automations and the systems, not just hand you a slide deck.

Questions

Straight answers

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO makes a business legible, trusted and citable to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude, so the model recommends it when a buyer asks. Where SEO targets the Google results page, GEO targets the answer the AI gives. It works through pages that answer the buyer's question, one consistent entity across the web, authoritative third-party mentions and measurement in the platforms' own reports.

Does AI search actually send real traffic?

Yes, and it is measured, not inferred. GA4 recorded 452 sessions from AI assistants across the six properties with a source export, from 1 January 2026 to the export date (15 Oct 2026 by property). On a travel agency's domain that went live on 11 Jul 2026, 146 of 1,693 sessions came from AI assistants, 9% of the total. On a perfume store launched in August 2026, chatgpt.com is the largest source with 52% of sessions. Each figure is on its case page with the export date.

What do you actually deliver?

Pages that answer your buyers' questions, the entity work and structured data that make the business legible, third-party mentions AI systems cross-check, and Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and GA4 wired with key events. If the site itself needs rebuilding, I build it. For my own products, the whole stack: FalaMandra's voice agent and checkout, UMARKT's marketplace, an e-commerce catalogue. I do not hand a brief to an agency; I ship it.

Do you work with international clients in USD or EUR?

Yes. I work fully remote from Brazil, in US and European time zones, in English (C1, Oxford-certified), billed through MYIA Ventures LTD in the United Kingdom.

How is this different from a regular SEO agency?

Most SEO providers only advise and only optimize for Google. I build the systems too: agents, automations and citation-monitoring pipelines using the Claude API, and I optimize for the AI assistants that increasingly decide what gets recommended. I implement, not just advise.

Practice what I preach

LinkedIn is public, professional and readable by AI assistants. So I build there.

When someone asks an AI assistant about a person or a professional field, LinkedIn is one of the sources it reaches for most. That is not a social media opinion, it is a GEO fact: the platform feeds the answers. So I do on LinkedIn exactly what I tell clients to do everywhere, show up consistently, in public, with real work. You can watch the method run live.

The same principle I apply to your business: be present where the AI looks, before your competitor is.
