Find your fit
What do you want to fix first?
Choose the goal that sounds most like you. I’ll show you exactly where I’d start, and what it would take.
Get found on Google and in AI answers
You want customers who search on Google or ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews to find you, not your competitors.

Show up on social media every week
You know you should post consistently, but there’s never time to plan, design and reply.

Turn my podcast or videos into clips
You record great long-form content, but it isn’t being cut into reels and shorts that reach new people.

Get a website that brings in leads
Your site looks fine but doesn’t turn visitors into booked calls, or it’s slow, dated or hard to update.

AI marketing, done properly
AI-powered. Human-led.
AI is changing how customers find businesses and how marketing gets done. I build it into every service, from AI-powered content creation to AI marketing automation, so you get agency-level output at freelancer speed, with the judgment, accuracy and brand voice only a person can bring.
AI for speed
Research, first drafts, captions, clip-finding and repurposing happen in hours instead of days.
Automation for consistency
Lead follow-ups, CRM updates, scheduling and reporting run in the background, so nothing slips.
A human for quality
I review, edit and approve everything. Nothing reaches your audience unchecked or off-brand.
Built for AI search
Content is structured to rank on Google and to be understood and quoted by AI assistants.

Questions before we start
What services do you offer?
Social media management, digital content creation, SEO with AEO and GEO (visibility in Google and AI-powered search), website development, video editing and short-form content, and virtual operations with AI marketing automation. AI is built into every service to work faster, and every result is reviewed by a human.
What are AEO and GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimization) structures your content so search engines and voice assistants can use it as a direct answer. GEO (generative engine optimization) helps AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews understand and mention your business accurately. Both work alongside traditional SEO.
How do you use AI in your work?
AI speeds up research, first drafts, captions, clip-finding and reporting, and automation runs follow-ups and CRM updates in the background. I review and edit everything before it reaches your audience, so you get speed without generic results.
Who will I actually work with?
You work directly with me, Ali Ahmad. There are no account managers or middlemen between you and the person doing the work.
How do I get started?
Book a free discovery call or send a quote request. We’ll talk through your goals and scope, and I’ll recommend next steps and a price before any work begins.
How does pricing work?
Depending on the service, pricing is hourly, monthly or per project. Starting prices are listed on the pricing page, and every project gets a written quote first. Long-term work can be packaged at a better rate.
How do I pay?
Bank transfer, Wise or an Upwork contract.
How do we communicate, and how is work delivered?
By email, Zoom, Google Meet and WhatsApp. Files are delivered through Google Drive or WeTransfer.
Are revisions included?
Yes. Revisions based on your feedback are part of every project. The number of rounds is agreed in your quote.
Do you work with businesses in the United States?
Yes. I work remotely with US businesses, schedule calls to suit US time zones from Eastern to Pacific, and price every service in US dollars.
