Hiring questions, answered straight.
Practical questions about hiring me, each answered in its first sentence. If yours isn't here, email it and you'll have a reply within one working day.
Working together
- Are you looking for full-time or contract work?
- Either works. Full-time (directly or through an employer of record), a full-time contract, or part-time and project-based. The one fixed term: it has to be remote.
- Which time zones can you cover?
- 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.
- Would you consider an on-site or hybrid role?
- No. Remote is the one fixed term. Everything else (full-time, contract, project-based, direct or through an employer of record) is open.
The work
- How do you use AI in your SEO work?
- Claude Code does my research, analysis and repetitive checks, and it has to show its sources. Anything that touches a live site or an ad account gets a person's review first, so nothing ships on a model's word.
- How do you measure visibility in AI search?
- As a rate, not a rank. I run a fixed set of buyer questions many times on each engine and report how often you appear and get cited, next to AI Overviews impressions in Search Console and AI referral sessions in GA4. Google rankings and traffic get reported separately, so neither one gets passed off as the other. The full method
- Do you write the code yourself?
- No. Claude Code writes it, and I read every change and approve or reject it. My degree is in computer engineering, so I can follow what it does, and I’ve shipped this site and mersa.biz that way. What I build
- Do you run Google Ads too?
- Yes. At Webnus I ran a $6,000/month account on my own: 150% ROAS and a 30% lift in conversion rate. Now I run Google Ads from Claude Code through the API, and a person approves every change that spends money.
Checking me out
- Can I check the numbers on your site?
- Please do. Every number on the results page names its company and period. Pick one and I’ll walk you through how it happened, including what didn’t work.
- Can I see your CV?
- Yes, the AI Search Lead CV is here (PDF). I also keep versions for AI Marketing Engineer, AI-assisted paid search and AI content roles. Ask and I’ll send the one that matches your posting.
- Do you have references?
- Yes. The person I reported to at Webnus for six years will take a call. There’s also a public LinkedIn recommendation from a senior colleague, quoted on the about page.
