An audit is a list. The fix is the job.
My AEO and GEO strategy ends in shipped changes, not a slide deck. I started as a web developer and hold a Master's in Information Systems Development, so I work alongside the engineers who make the fixes.
The usual auditHow I work
Finding the gaps
The usual audit: A visibility score from a tool, with no link to what buyers actually ask.
How I work: I map the questions buyers ask AI engines, then record who gets named, who gets cited and which sources they draw on.
Getting read
The usual audit: Nobody checks whether AI crawlers can reach the site, or read it without JavaScript.
How I work: I fix the access layer: crawler rules, server-rendered facts, structured data and clean entity details.
Getting cited
The usual audit: More blog posts, written to a keyword list.
How I work: I rebuild key pages around direct answers, with claims that stand on their own, named authors and evidence.
Earning mentions
The usual audit: The strategy stops at the edge of your own website.
How I work: I target the third-party sources AI engines already cite, and make the facts about your brand consistent across them.
Shipping it
The usual audit: Recommendations go over the wall to the developers.
How I work: I work with the developers: clear tickets, guidelines and checks before and after every release.
Keeping it going
The usual audit: A one-off report, out of date by next quarter.
How I work: I automate the tracking and reporting, so answers are re-checked and gaps become the next round of fixes.
You get a list.You get the fix, shipped and tracked.
The way I work with developers comes from my technical SEO roles at Philip Morris International and News UK.2 This page uses the same access layer: see the first panel under What I can help with.
What changed when the work shipped.
Four clients, four scenarios, one mission: get found in AI search.
Together they reached 1.15 million impressions in Google's AI features, across 1,246 pages, between 18 May and 29 October 2026.7 The most-seen pages answer questions from people who weren't looking for the business by name. More searches now end in the answer itself, so being seen there counts even without a click.
Redesign and relaunch
825 pages
now appear in Google's AI features for a technology retailer with almost no search visibility before we redesigned and relaunched it. AI impressions are up 21% since May

The percentages compare the first four weeks of Google's report, which starts on 18 May, with the latest four. The accountancy firm's growth has levelled off since late September. Impressions count appearances, not clicks. Each chart has its own scale.
thebar.com became "the number 1 searched website for cocktails in the UK".
That's how Katherine Rutherford, who worked with me on it, describes it. Diageo's cocktail site became category leader for generic "cocktail recipe" searches within two years, with content planned, created, optimised and distributed around what people were looking for.34
Silver, Best Use of Search, Natural and PaidDMA Awards,
Commendation, Best Use of Content (SEO)The Drum Search Awards,
Organic clicks up 150% and impressions up 160% for an e-commerce client, within weeks of clearing a crawl bottleneck of 5,500+ non-indexed Shopify URLs.2
SEO operations for over 100 websites run as one technical programme at Philip Morris International.1
Technical SEO errors down 35% across five affiliate and media sites at FTD Digital.2
About 90% client retention at Whizz People, the agency I founded in 2012.2
Hasan was able to consistently improve Flora's SEO quarter after quarter for the most relevant top 10 search words, even after the transition to a different website platform which came with massive challenges.
Patricia Walker on working together at Flora, Unilever4
He helped implement a strong technical SEO strategy, make significant improvements on site and helped provide wider recommendations that proved vital in maintaining our top SERP ranking for our most valuable keywords.
Ella Sharpe on working together at Petplan Allianz4

Outside work
I play table tennis and collect vintage phones, stamps and banknotes. I also like to travel and ride my bike, and I've done the London to Brighton Bike Ride twice for charity: for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in 2022 and Dementia UK in 2026.
What I can help with.
Consulting runs through Whizz People, so you get my strategy and a team to deliver it.6
AI search visibility (AEO and GEO)
Strategy and delivery to get your brand read, trusted and cited by AI engines: prompt mapping, crawler access, structured data, answer-led pages, third-party mentions and ongoing tracking.
Answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO) are the work of making a brand easy for AI-driven search, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, to find, trust and cite.
How does he approach AEO and GEO?
He starts with the questions buyers ask AI engines and records who gets cited. He then fixes crawler access and structured data, rebuilds key pages around direct answers with evidence, targets the third-party sources those engines already cite, and automates the tracking so the work repeats.
What AI search results has he delivered?
Across four client sites, Search Console recorded 1.15 million impressions in Google's AI features between 18 May and 29 October 2026. They include an accountancy firm up 281%, a health clinic up 5,492% from a low base, a technology retailer now appearing across 825 pages after a redesign and relaunch, and a local plumbing firm that started from near zero.7
Why do AI impressions matter if people do not click?
More searches now end in the answer itself, so clicks alone undercount visibility. Being named or cited in an AI answer puts a brand in front of the buyer even when nobody clicks, so he tracks impressions and citations as well as clicks.
