Open to remote roles

Senior SEO, AI search included.

For six years I owned technical SEO, content and CRO in-house at a Canadian product company. Now I study what AI answers choose to cite, and I want to do that work inside your team.

Numbers you can ask me about.

Most of these come from six years in-house at Webnus. Each one has its period next to it (a number without dates tells you nothing, and I know it).

  1. +562K

    annual organic visits added

    Webnus · WordPress product company · Ontario, Canada (remote) · 2019 to 2025

    I owned technical SEO, content and CRO for a portfolio of WordPress sites aimed at North America. The work: technical audits, Core Web Vitals fixes, and rebuilding the content into topic clusters.

  2. +300%

    non-branded keyword rankings

    Webnus · Same portfolio · non-branded search · 2019 to 2025

    Some rankings had to be recovered first. I fixed the crawl and indexing issues, then rolled schema out across the key page templates.

  3. 150%

    ROI on Google Ads, +30% conversion rate

    Webnus · Paid search · $6,000/month budget

    I ran the account on my own. Landing pages matched to search intent, plus CRO on them, lifted conversion rate by 30% while the spend returned 150%.

  4. 6 yrs

    In-house with one product team.

    One team, 2019 to 2025 · Six years, not a string of short contracts

    Six years inside Webnus's process, on their roadmap, reporting to their stakeholders, without a break. Ask for references. The person I reported to is one of them.

  5. +30%

    organic visibility

    Dental clinic, Bali · Independent consulting · local + international patients · 2026

    The clinic needed two audiences at once: patients nearby and people flying in for treatment. I fixed Core Web Vitals, deployed schema and built topic-cluster content for both.

  6. 2M+

    users served by the content strategy

    Shatel & Namava · Iran's largest ISP and its VOD platform · Tehran · 2015 to 2018

    I ran content strategy for the ISP and content operations for Namava, its streaming platform. One example: a new knowledge base cut support tickets by 40%.

About

Hey, I’m Saeed. Mostly AI search, lately.

I'm a senior SEO with six years of remote work behind me, based in Bali (UTC+8). From 2019 to 2025 I was the in-house SEO at Webnus, a Canadian WordPress product company. I owned technical SEO, content and CRO end to end, and the Google Ads account too. Before that I ran content strategy for Iran's largest ISP and its streaming platform.

Since 2026 I've consulted independently and gone deep on AI search: how ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews decide what to cite. I also build SEO workflows with AI, and I make them show their sources. Faster is easy. Faster without getting sloppy is the job.

Persian is my native language and my English is full professional. I worked EST hours for six years, and from Bali I overlap with APAC, Australia and European mornings. I'm looking for a remote team to bring all of this to, so below is where I'd fit.

Experience

  1. Independent SEO Consultant

    Jan 2026 – Present

  2. Growth Marketing Lead (SEO & CRO)

    Webnus · Ontario, Canada (remote)

    Shatel · Namava · Tehran, Iran

Roles

Where I’d fit on your team.

Your senior specialist, or the person who owns the channel. You pick the terms; the only fixed one is remote.

  • Senior SEO / SEO Manager

    You hand me the channel. I own the strategy, the roadmap, the reporting, and both the technical and the content side.

  • Technical SEO

    Audits, crawl and indexing, Core Web Vitals, schema and migrations (the part most teams keep putting off).

  • AI search (GEO / AEO)

    Structured data, entities and content that ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews can cite.

  • Search & performance marketing

    Google Ads, landing pages and CRO, run next to organic so paid and organic learn from each other.

  • Content & growth strategy

    Topic clusters, content operations, and the plan behind them, written so your team can follow it.

How I can work

  • Full-time, directly or through an employer of record
  • Full-time contract
  • Part-time or fractional
  • Remote only · Bali, UTC+8
FAQ

What hiring managers ask me first

Either works. Full-time (directly or through an employer of record), a full-time contract, or part-time and fractional. The one fixed term: it has to be remote.

I'm in Bali (UTC+8), so APAC, Australia and European mornings are my normal working day. If you're in the US: I worked EST hours with Webnus for six years, so overlapping for calls and handovers is nothing new.

Please do. Pick any number and I'll walk you through how it happened, including what didn't work. For references, you can talk to the person I reported to for six years.

As a tool with guardrails. For example, I use Claude Code for research, analysis and repetitive checks, and I make it show its sources. Anything that touches a live site or an ad account gets reviewed by a person first, so nothing ships on a model's word.

Yes, for agencies. That side has its own page: saeedseo.com/agencies.
